About this property
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.
Enjoy endless adventure, ocean, rainforest and cultural experiences. Set along Costa Rica’s southern Pacific coast, this region is home to Marina Ballena National Park, famous for the iconic Whale Tail formation and seasonal visits from magnificent humpback whales. Explore uncrowded beaches, scenic waterfalls, and vibrant reefs ideal for snorkeling and scuba diving. Adventure seekers will love surfing, canyoning, kayaking, ziplining, and horseback riding, while cultural and nature lovers can enjoy cacao farm tours, indigenous village visits, or local cooking classes. There's truly something for everyone.
After a day of adventure, return home to unwind with a poolside couples massage, prepare gourmet meals in the sleek kitchen with stainless steel appliances and a gas cooktop, or enjoy a private chef experience. Dine al fresco while watching breathtaking sunsets over the ocean and jungle vistas, then relax by the exquisite pool or cozy up with a movie using the HDTV and fiber-optic Wi-Fi.
Your stay is supported by on-site caretakers living discreetly on the property, ensuring privacy and security. Light housekeeping is available with advance notice for a small fee.
We take care of you every step of the way—from the moment you inquire until after you depart. Our team provides a comprehensive guest guide, answers to frequently asked questions, and curated recommendations for the best tours, restaurants, beaches, and waterfalls. You'll also receive personal introductions to our concierge and trusted rental car partners, who offer our guests exclusive corporate discounts. We're here to ensure you have a fun, adventure filled, unforgettable vacation and create wonderful memories that last a lifetime. Book your best vacation ever with us today!

About the host
Hosted by Tom and Christine
Tom, a Florida native, and Christine who has lived in over 20 countries and US states, fell in love with Costa Rica’s Southern Zone, where lush rainforest mountains meet the Pacific Ocean. In 2008 they purchased a stunning ocean-view property and built their dream home. Together, their skills and dedication laid the foundation for Jaguar Property Management, known for going above and beyond to ensure every guest feels valued and cared for.
Why they chose this property
The Uvita area offers an exceptional blend of refined tranquility and natural beauty. It’s large enough to provide quality dining, shopping, and services—yet remains delightfully free of mass tourism. Where the emerald rainforest cascades down to meet the Pacific Ocean, you'll find a temperate, tropical paradise with no cold weather, no crowds, and an abundance of exotic wildlife. It’s a serene, sophisticated escape in the heart of Costa Rica’s Southern Zone.
What makes this property unique
Casa Gandhi is an architecturally stunning home, the ideal retreat for multiple couples or families, offering the perfect balance of shared spaces and private sanctuaries.
Set within a vibrant tropical landscape, the villa is surrounded by nature’s beauty: colorful toucans, scarlet macaws, monkeys, butterflies, and playful coati families are frequent visitors. The home offers the ideal balance of privacy and convenience—tucked away in a serene setting, yet just minutes from the best beaches, restaurants, and adventure tours in the Uvita area.
Thoughtfully designed with comfort and style in mind, Casa Gandhi invites you to relax, reconnect, and savor the pura vida lifestyle. Best of all, the panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and Marino Ballena National Park are truly unforgettable—more breathtaking in person than any photo can capture.
