About this property

5BR, Los Aires, A Jungle villa w/ Toucans and Waterfalls

An upscale home set on 60 acres of secluded tropical forest replete with waterfalls, swimming holes and private hiking trails. Fully staffed with breakfast provided. We offer daily housekeeping and concierge services.  The very well equipped main house (6000 sf/ on 3 levels) has 5 air-conditioned bedrooms each with en-suite full bathroom. There is a 3 BR garden cottage available separately. The large open air great room has ample space for relaxing and dining. The property is a bird watchers paradise. Toucans, hummingbirds, our resident sloth, howler monkeys and wildlife galore is found in our hillside setting. You will have access to the whole property and the surrounding gardens and forest.

The property is perfect for large multi-family gatherings, weddings and other special occasions. Large public spaces and gardens provide ample for folks to gather. We host a number of themed retreat weeks each year, such as yoga and spiritual, organic food seminar, etc.

Our concierge, Esteban, is at your service throughout your stay. He is there each morning to help cook breakfast and is happy to help arrange the days activities as well, do shopping, coordinate meals/cooks, etc There is a staff member available 24/7 to assist with any urgencies.

Rate quoted is for the 5 BR main house  and price includes up to 9 guests and breakfast each morning. Additional guests are $49 per night. Maximum we can comfortably accommodate is 16-18 adults plus 6 children using portable bedding.  Use of garden building rooms is available for $35 per night each. If unoccupied, the cottage is shuttered and never rented to another party

The open-air great room with bar and cafe areas overlook the pool and offer amazing sunsets with mountain and valley views.

The staff will put out complementary coffee, juice, eggs, cereal and fruit each morning. If you would like to have a complete breakfast served please let the concierge know. The typical breakfast in CR would include eggs to order, gallo pinto (rice and beans), plantains, empanadas or pancakes.

The property has an air-conditioned theater room, in-ground pool, 10 person spa, a giant chess board and chill out area in the adjacent gardens. Being at higher elevation we have cooler evening temperatures than the beach areas yet pleasant warm days.

We are close to the amazing Nauyaca Waterfalls, deserted beaches, EcoChontales by ATV and plenty of jungle adventures such as river trekking, hiking, and horseback riding. Manuel Antonio National Park and Seasonal white water rafting are 60 minutes away.

We are 3.5 hours from SJO airport. 30 minutes from Dominical or San Isidro de El General.

The neighborhood is quiet and safe. Feel free to walk as far as you like on the country roads. 4x4 vehicle is needed to safely navigate the local gravel roads, especially in the rainy season.

We have two drivers available for hire, each with a luxury 7 pax SUV. They can provide airport pickup/dropoff and daily local transportation. Rental vehicles are widely available at SJO airport. The regional airport at Quepos is open and only 50 minutes away. It is a nice option if you don't have much luggage.

Late night arrivals are no problem. Early arrivals after a red eye flight can usually be accommodated with prior notice.

First and foremost, Esteban is heaven sent. He is the absolute best. The property was everything we wanted it to be plus more. The views were breathtaking, and although we left the property we had everything we needed plus more right at the property. The lady who prepared the food was also amazing along with the property owner. Everyone took very good care of us, and I highly recommend this property. *****

A truly life changing experience at Villa Los Aires. The villa exceeded every expectation. It is beautiful, spacious, peaceful, and the views were unreal. My entire group was amazed the moment we arrived, and it felt like stepping into our own private world.The staff made this trip unforgettable. Esteban felt like family from day one. His warm energy and the way he went above and beyond meant everything to us. He even cleaned and folded our laundry, which we never expected and still talk about. He and Juan Jose decorated the entire villa for my birthday with so much excitement and care. The lights and the setup were a dream come true. The chefs were incredibly kind and every meal was authentic, flavorful, and made with love.When one of our cars got stuck, Esteban and Juan Jose rescued us without hesitation and handled everything so calmly. A quick note for future guests: the drive is a journey and you absolutely need a four wheel drive. I am grateful Stephen prepared us for this. Let me tell you it’s 1000% worth it!!! Stephen helped me plan this trip for twenty people and made everything feel easy. His communication and recommendations were perfect. Esteban even took us on a hike to two breathtaking waterfalls on the property. My only regret is that we didn’t stay longer!!!!! For all you receive, the beauty, privacy, service, views, and genuine kindness, the value is incredible. Everyone in my group said this was one of the best trips of their lives. PURA VIDA!

This property and staff are incredible! This was a family vacation with our adult children and six grandchildren, fifteen of us in total. Stephen is a wonderful host. He was so quick to communicate, answer questions, and put our mind at ease. The staff were so amazing…kind and accommodating. The only draw back was the trek to get to and from activities. So know that going in. However, if you want privacy, wildlife, and unforgettable views, the villa has you covered.

Epic Getaway!

We traveled with two other families, 6 adults, 7 kids age 5-16 and had the BEST time here. The staff were all so gracious and friendly. Esteban is a complete gem. He helped us learn about Costa Rica, taught us about all the plants and wild life, helped us with our Spanish and was just generally a joy to have present. We went horseback riding at the falls (definitely recommend) and went to Manuel Antonio national park (also recommend with a guide!). We had dinner cooked for us several nights and ate at a couple of the local restaurants. Mirador Los Chorros (on the hill at the turn) was one of our favorites:) can’t say enough great things about this spot. We’re already scheming for how we can make it back!

This place is beyond amazing!!!!!!

My husband and I stayed in this beautiful home for 8 whole days for our delayed honeymoon and what a treat! The place is unbelievably gorgeous! The house, the view and the property, we were in awe! The staff went above and beyond to take care of us. They cooked for us, cleaned, did our laundry, we were so spoiled by the time we left! They helped us figure out what to do and where to go and were exceptional. We made some great memories and plan to return and take the whole family! I cannot say enough about how much we loved it and what a fantastic experience it all was.
