About this property
Private Eco-Villa, Prime Central Location, Ocean Views, Wildlife, and Nightlife
Wrapped in nearly two acres of lush rainforest, Villa Ceiba is an eco-luxury retreat with sweeping Pacific Ocean views, total privacy, and front-row seats to Manuel Antonio’s famous wildlife. Monkeys, toucans, sloths, and vibrant tropical birds are regular visitors, creating an unforgettable jungle experience from the comfort of your villa.
Built in 2015 and renovated in 2025, this modern six-bedroom, six-and-a-half-bath villa is designed for high-end comfort: with en-suite bedrooms facing the ocean, and the infinity pool appears to spill into the jungle canopy and sea beyond. The open-concept living area and gourmet kitchen fully open to the pool terrace, so your group can move effortlessly between lounging, swimming, dining, and wildlife watching.
The master suite features its own oversized balcony and a Japanese soaking tub with serene jungle views, perfect for evening relaxation with the sounds of the rainforest all around. All bedrooms, the kitchen, and the sitting area are equipped with eco-friendly inverter A/C units and ceiling fans, and the home is carbon neutral with solar technology helping to offset traditional energy use. A ground-floor bedroom offers easier access for guests with mobility needs.
Location is unbeatable: Villa Ceiba sits on Pacific Canyon Drive, the prime entrance corridor to some of Manuel Antonio’s best restaurants, bars, nightlife, cafes, and convenience services. You can walk 10–15 minutes to the top dining spots, shops, bus stops, and local attractions, and during the dry season, a scenic 20-minute jungle path from the property leads directly to the beach for a true “from jungle to sand” experience.
Your stay includes personalized concierge services to handle airport transfers, private chef dinners, in-villa spa services, and reservations for activities such as national park tours, ziplining, catamaran cruises, and surf lessons. Please note: like all homes on this road, Villa Ceiba has a steep driveway, so 4x4 vehicles are required for access. Concierge has a 6 person side by side to shuttle guests and luggage if needed. Please note, shuttle vans that are not 4x4 or are oversized cannot access the villa directly, they will need to be parked at the top of the driveway and the concierge will transport guests down upon arrival and departure.
