Luxurious Ocean View 18 Acre Private Rainforest Estate, Wildlife and Concierge

Opulent, seductive, and lush, Casa Gandhi delivers the ultimate in luxury and privacy. This architectural masterpiece ocean-view estate is nestled on 18 pristine acres of rainforest, conveniently located just 9 minutes south of Uvita in a private gated community. You’re minutes from stunning beaches, the Costanera highway, dozens of excellent restaurants, eco-adventure tours, and the charming town of Uvita with shops, banks, and services.

Set at 800 feet elevation, Casa Gandhi offers commanding panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and five offshore islands. Expansive glass doors welcome refreshing ocean breezes into a light-filled home with ceiling fans in every room. Begin your mornings sipping coffee while watching scarlet macaws and howler monkeys serenade the sunrise. Explore the lush grounds filled with tropical flora and fauna, including agouti, coati, sloths, and white-faced monkeys. Explore the private rainforest trail that leads to our secluded waterfall, where you can take a refreshing dip in the natural pool and enjoy a peaceful picnic surrounded by the sounds of nature.

The main house offers two beautifully appointed, air-conditioned bedrooms—each with its own en suite bathroom, plush bedding, and serene garden or ocean views—ensuring a peaceful and luxurious night’s rest. For additional comfort and privacy, the property also includes two fully air-conditioned guest houses: one with a separate living area and sleeper sofa, ideal for families or couples traveling together.

* Main House (sleeps 4): 2 air-conditioned bedrooms, 2.5 baths
* Ocean Casita (sleeps 4): 1 bedroom, 1 bath, living room sleeper sofa, fully air-conditioned
* Jungle Casita (sleeps 2): 1 bedroom, 1 bath, fully air-conditioned

The guest houses are only rented together with the main house to ensure your complete privacy. The base rate includes 4 guests in the main house, with additional casitas available for larger parties. Please enter the correct number of guests when booking to ensure fair pricing and exceptional value.
