About this property
Villa Palmeras with jungle views & pool near MA
Looking for a dreamy jungle escape? Casa Palmeras is your ticket to paradise! This lovingly remodeled, 2500 sq. ft. standalone home is nestled in the rainforest, offering total privacy and no shared walls—just you, the jungle, and the occasional curious monkey.
Set in the lush Palmas Pacifica community, this gated retreat blends modern comforts with natural beauty, just minutes from Quepos and Manuel Antonio. We bought this gem in 2022 and gave it a glow-up with stunning natural stonework, hand-carved hardwood furniture, and spa-inspired bathrooms.
The space
Casa Palmeras is designed for relaxation and connection with nature. Every detail has been thoughtfully updated to create a tranquil retreat that’s perfectly in tune with its surroundings.
Bedrooms & Bathrooms: Three en-suite bedrooms (King, Queen, and Full) with large windows that bring the rainforest indoors. Newly remodeled bathrooms feature luxurious walk-in showers, stone accents, and elegant vanities.
Kitchen & Dining: Cook like a pro in the fully equipped kitchen with granite countertops and all the appliances you need—including a dishwasher. Or, take it outside to the poolside grill for al fresco dining.
Living Area: Relax in the spacious, open-plan living and dining area with custom hardwood furniture and jungle views.
Highlights
- Private lap pool surrounded by lush greenery.
- Located in Palmas Pacifica, a gated eco-community.
- Access to Jungle Night Tours, Chocolate Tours, Butterfly Research Center, and hiking trails.
- 5-minute drive to Quepos; 15 minutes to Manuel Antonio National Park and beaches.
- Air conditioning in all bedrooms, plus fans throughout the home.
- High-speed fiber optic internet (for Zoom calls or streaming your favorite show poolside).
- Professional concierge service to help with reservations, tours, and recommendations.
A Day at Casa Palmeras
Start your morning with a cup of Costa Rican coffee on the patio, listening to the symphony of jungle life. Spot toucans, monkeys, and butterflies as the rainforest wakes up. Later, head to the beach or explore the nearby Manuel Antonio National Park.
Back home, cool off with a dip in your private pool before firing up the grill for a BBQ. Prefer not to lift a finger? A private chef can prepare a delicious, family-style meal while you relax.
End your day under the stars, with the soothing sounds of the rainforest all around you.

Beautiful house, beautiful pool. Great for when we were relaxing after visiting the national parks flora and fauna. Friendly iguanas around the pool and a troop of monkeys passed by one afternoon.Short drive to town, we ate out every night.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Christine! We're so glad to hear that the house exceeded your expectations. It’s always our goal to provide a beautiful and memorable experience, and we're thrilled that we succeeded in doing so for you. We’d love to host you again in the future!
We LOVED this villa, it was perfect for our stay in Manuel Antonio! The location to the city was great, close enough to make the drive easy, but far enough we had a quiet piece of the jungle to stay in. The space was perfect for our family of 4, the kitchen was fully stocked and the beds were pretty comfortable. We also had a iguana resident in the back who the kids named Stitch :) She would be there when we woke up, hang out with us all day until she headed out for the night. We also were visited by some squirrel monkeys :) truly a wonderful place to stay. We had a couple of hiccups with the property and the prompt communication with the team was outstanding. The only caution I would give is the road getting up the house is rough and there are some pretty steep hills so just make sure you have a suitable car!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that Casa Palmeras was the perfect fit for your family and that you enjoyed the peaceful jungle setting while still being close to town. It’s always a treat when local wildlife like Stitch the iguana and the squirrel monkeys stop by to say hello—what a special experience for the kids! We're also glad our team was able to support you promptly when needed. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back again in the future!
This home is very spacious. They provide everything you need to enjoy your stay there. Thru the years we have Rented various vacation homes and this one was by far the cleanest! Everything in the home worked as it should. The area is very quiet and peaceful. The location itself is exactly as described inside and out. The yard/pool were very well maintained. The staff checked in with us periodically during our stay. Staff answered our questions in a timely/reasonable manner as well. The home is literally a 5-6 minute drive to Quepos/Manuel Antonio (very convenient). Highly recommended!

Thanks for your great review, we hope to have you back soon. Pura Vida 🌺
Great place in the jungle, just off the beaten path, perfect for a family
Getting to the place at night was an adventure through a short but pretty rough road (at the time at least) through the darkness. But if you just follow your GPS, you'll get there. We thought the unit was perfect for us (a family of 5). Beautiful pool which was a little low on water but I'm sure will be topped up soon. It's well-equipped inside and out on the patio - this is/was someone's home, not just a rental, and they clearly cared about how they decorated the place. Very helpful host too. Bedrooms each had a an a/c unit, main area of the house did not (just fyi).
