Private Eco-Luxury Villa near Rio Celeste | Jacuzzi • Nature • Sleeps 8 •

Set on a private 12-hectare estate, this eco-luxury villa invites you to experience Costa Rica in a more authentic, calm and nature-filled way. Your tropical sanctuary in northern Costa Rica. Nestled within a private 30-acre rainforest estate, our eco-friendly villa accommodates up to 8 guests in a serene, secure, and inspiring environment. Designed as part of a holistic and sustainable project, the property embodies the principles of slow living and slow travel, inviting you to reconnect with nature, time, and yourself.

Surrounded by lush tropical forest, this spacious villa blends modern design, natural materials, and open architecture, offering panoramic views of Costa Rica’s extraordinary biodiversity. Listen to the songs of more than 40 species of tropical birds, watch butterflies and sloths pass through the trees, and experience the peace that only untouched nature can bring.

Stroll through the estate’s fruit trees and tropical gardens, where mangoes, papayas, starfruit, and bananas grow freely. Discover our private quebradas and crystal-clear streams, ideal for a refreshing dip or quiet reflection. The villa uses pure spring water and offers a carbon-free environment with an abundance of fresh, clean air.

After exploring Río Celeste, Tenorio Volcano National Park, or the nearby hot springs, return to your villa for a moment of pure relaxation. Enjoy your private outdoor jacuzzi, surrounded by the gentle hum of the jungle. From the dining terrace, admire the dance of tropical birds as the sun sets behind the mountains.

Our eco-holistic approach combines architecture, nature, and wellbeing in perfect harmony. Every detail of the villa has been thoughtfully designed to create balance — from its passive cooling design to its open-air living spaces that let the forest breathe around you.

Whether you’re a family, couple, or group of friends, this is a place where everyone finds peace and inspiration. Disconnect from the rush of everyday life and reconnect with the rhythm of nature — where comfort, elegance, and authenticity meet.

Highlights:
• Private eco-luxury villa for up to 8 guests
• Located near the Río Celeste, Costa Rica’s turquoise wonder
• Private jacuzzi, fruit trees, pure water, and private streams
• Surrounded by wildlife, tropical forest, and birdsong
• Holistic, sustainable project with carbon-free living

Very beautiful space and we loved the bird-watching. It's farther out from Bijuaga than we realized so be prepared to drive for any activities.
