Casa Pura Vista - Best View Home in Manuel Antonio
With stunning ocean and sunset views, Casa Pura Vista is a unique 7,000 square foot, 5 bedroom/5 bathroom luxury villa nestled on one of the highest points in Manuel Antonio. It is secluded and yet minutes away from dozens of shops and restaurants, iconic beaches, the new Pez Vela Marina, the regional airport and the world-famous Manuel Antonio National Park.
This spacious 3 level home is perfect for families or groups and includes exceptional amenities to ensure a lifetime vacation experience.
The space
Upon entering the villa via the lower level 5 car gated covered garage, two dancing water fountains catch your eye. An elegant glass staircase or an elevator takes guests to the upper levels. Also on the lower level is the queen bed (Maid’s Quarters) with an ensuite bathroom.
Entering the main level, guests will be delighted by the breathtaking ocean view from the 100’ long covered terrace, which has multiple seating areas for absorbing the sights and sounds of the surrounding rainforest. Attached to the main terrace is one of the largest pools in Manuel Antonio, a 62’ saltwater infinity pool with a built-in lounger, seating area and a waterfall that cascades down from the upper level. The reflection of the sunset in the infinity pool is astounding.
Adjacent to the main level terrace is the 1,000 square foot open-concept, air-conditioned kitchen/dining/great room with 20’ high glass walls that blend seamlessly with the tropical exterior. All furniture is locally built from the finest Costa Rican leather and hardwoods. In the evening, enjoy your favorite shows on the 85” Ultra-High-Def Smart TV and home theater system with surround sound and subwoofer.
Lastly, the main level boasts arguably the most spectacular master bedroom in Costa Rica. The 25’ high glass walls in a circular design, gaze out upon the sunrise over the mountains and the sunset in the Pacific Ocean, all without leaving the comfort of the king bed. At night the stars and the moon are clearly visible. The amazing master bathroom features polished black granite countertops, dual sinks, a mini-fridge, walk-in closet, a private toilet and a vanity mirror that reflects the rainforest view. Outside is a private terrace, marble rainshower and a bathtub with a fabulous view of the mountains and surrounding jungle.
The upper level has another spacious 70' long covered terrace, which connects three more king bedrooms, all with sunset views. In the distance, ocean waves crashing on the beach are clearly visible. One king bedroom has an ocean view ensuite bath and an additional mountain-view balcony. The other two king bedrooms have ocean view terraces and share an ocean view bathroom. All 5 bedrooms have Wi-Fi, Air-Conditioning, a 55” or 65” Smart TV, top-quality furniture and hand-woven wool rugs for comfort.
Casa Pura Vista was completely renovated in 2023. It was designed by famous architect Andres Morales and it won the prestigious APA/Bloomberg Architecture Award in 2011. Every consideration was given to maximizing the panoramic views, while combining modern design with Costa Rican charm. In addition, Casa Pura Vista resides on 1.3 manicured acres of flowers, palms and fruit trees that enhance the stunning design of the villa.
Additional guest amenities include a 36” Napoleon BBQ rotisserie grill, high-speed fiber Internet, solar power, a water purification system and Smart Home features such as labeled backlit dimmable light switches that are conveniently visible at night.

Our family of six thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful home. We had more than enough space and the view is one of the best in the area! We saw monkeys, macaws, toucans and iguanas every day on the property. Winston took great care of us and made sure we never missed a sighting!
7 of us just spent 8 nights and Casa Pura Vista and had a wonderful experience. The house is what you see in the pictures. Great sunsets every night. We did a guided nature tour through the national park and it was actually a little disappointing because we saw so many beautiful birds and monkeys sitting by our pool.What really put this over the top for us was the service we received. Alex was great with coordinating everything from airport transportation, having rental cars delivered to the house, booking excursions, massages, etc…Winston and Mayeska were there every day except for Sunday and they kept the house spotless inside and out. We swore it was a brand new grill that had never been used until we saw Winston cleaning it with steel wool. Mayeska literally did everyone’s laundry each day which was completely unexpected but greatly appreciated.Just a side note: Costa Rica has a fairly high credit card surcharge so cash is greatly preferred. I would recommend putting money aside at the beginning of the trip to make sure you have enough to show the crew your appreciation. They greatly deserve it.
This property is simply incredible! Our family and friends rented it for a five-day stay, and we had an absolutely fantastic time. The breathtaking scenery is simply stunning. The pool overlooking the majestic mountains and the vast ocean is a sight to behold. From our room, we could witness a plethora of wildlife, including monkeys, iguanas, toucans, scarlet macaws, and many more. The house was well-stocked with all the necessities, and the housekeeping service was impeccable. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. We were conveniently located just minutes away from beautiful beaches and the entrance to the National Park.
