About this property

LUXURY HOME, RAIN FOREST, BEACHES, OSA PENINSULA, CABO MATAPALO, CORCOVADO FORES

This Beautiful Tropical Paradise Home sits on a hilltop overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Below are three of the most Exotic Beaches in the Osa Peninsula, "Cabo Matapalo". Pan Dulce, Backwash Bay, and Playa Matapalo de Osa.

This house was built with luxury and comfort in mind and has all the comforts of home. As the owner of Tres Palmas says "Mi Casa es Su Casa".

The beach is a short walk down our tropical pathway through dense primary rain forest. It's common to see all four types of Monkeys, Scarlett Macaws, Toucans, Sloths, Anteaters and other wildlife.

The property is surrounded by thousands of acres of rain forest that connects to the famed Corcovado National Park. Corcovado National Park is home to 80% of all the wildlife species found in Costa Rica.

We offer Optional Concierge Service. We can plan or book your entire trip to Tres Palmas. From your air and ground transportation needs to doing all your shopping for food, snacks and beverages prior to your arrival.

We will arrange any tours you might want to go on and activities you might want to attend. We can also setup onsite spa services, wedding and honeymoon planning, world class fishing packages.

With our Professional Chef, he can prepare dishes that you have requested or simply let him create authentic Costa Rican cuisine for you. All seafood is fresh and caught locally. All fruits and vegetables are fresh picked and grown locally.

THE HOME

Tres Palmas is one of the largest and most exotic rental homes in all of the Osa Peninsula. It sleeps up to 16 guests very comfortably in our four detached private suites, all with private bathrooms and alfresco showers, and a large loft with private bathroom.

There is a massive palm thatched rancho which serves as the central gathering and entertaining area of the house. It is nearly 3000 square feet that encompasses two living rooms, a TV room, dining room, gourmet kitchen and a large center circle that is ideal for Yoga groups.

Tres Palmas is ideal for large families, family reunions, friends, business retreats, fishing excursion groups, Yoga groups and wedding parties.

TEMPERATURES

Being elevated on hilltop, Tres Palmas catches all of the cool Pacific Ocean breezes. Since it also borders the cool rain forest on three sides, Tres Palmas stays cool and refreshing throughout the year.

You will actually need to cover up with a thin blanket at night, as the window with louver's and screens lets in the cool nights breezes coming in off the ocean.

ACTIVITIES. TOURS, EXCURSIONS AND SAFARI'S

There are so many things to do in the Osa Peninsula and so many options when it comes to tours, safari’s and excursions that it is almost impossible to know what service to use. Since we are based in Costa Rica and know these companies and work with them directly, we can help.

Most people think that the more expensive the package the better. This is not always the case and we know what services and companies to use. Even if it is the most expensive we can often negotiate a better price for you.

POPULAR ACTIVITIES

Dolphin and Whale Tour: During the tour, you will search for humpback and pilot whales. You might also see whale sharks feeding on the plankton blooms. Costa Rica’s most iconic and oft spotted whale, the humpback, spends more than eight months a year in these waters. Dolphins will be seen throughout the tour.

Fishing Safari’s: We can provide you with safari packages from 4 to 12 hours. This will be determined based on what you are looking to catch. The boat sizes range from 27-37 feet in length and go out about 20 miles and start trolling north or south depending on where the fish are biting. The Captain will be targeting mahi, yellowfin and black fin tuna, wahoo, sailfish and the occasional marlin.

Horseback Riding: The horseback riding trip takes you through the forest as you make your way to the beach. Once you arrive to the beach, feel free to open the reigns or take a leisure gallop while soaking in the sun.

Corcovado Day Hike: The Tour is a must do for those looking to check off a national forest. There is so much history behind it and how it was preserved. So much natural life to see and be a part of as you hike with nature.

Bird Watching: The Osa Peninsula is a bird watcher’s paradise. Home to over 360 bird species including the healthiest population of Scarlet Macaws in Central America. The lowland bird watch area offers birds such as manakins, contingas, honeycreepers, toucans, macaws, crested-eagle, harpy-eagle, warblers, plovers, sandpipers and vireos.

Kayaking: There are two kayaking options, a daytime trip and an afternoon/night trip. The tour will take you through the local mangroves leading towards the sea, with a wide variety of aquatic, reptilian and bird life.

Surf Lessons: Longtime resident Olman Fernandez Cedeno, locally known as Pollo, has been surfing the Matapalo waves since he was 7 years old. He is a very enthusiastic instructor and will get his students up and riding in short order. He states, on your first lesson you will learn to stand up and ride the wave. He and his instructors are CPR and First Aid certified.

Paddle Boarding: The Costa Rica paddle boarding cruise begins at Pan Dulce beach and heads over to Back-Wash bay along the shoreline as long as the waves are not up. Standing above the water allows for viewing of abundant marine animals, which may include dolphins, turtles, rays, fish and lots of sea birds.

Pavones Surf Trip: If you are a surfer than Pavones is a for sure destination while at Tres Palmas. Pavones is a small community located along the southern Pacific Coast and is known as a as a surfer's haven.

There are other tours and attraction. Please call and we will go over additional tours and attractions.

FOOD

Our Professional Chef can make your vacation a delight with no cooking or clean up. We will prepare a custom menu just for your group with Local Tico Cuisines with some Gourmet dinners mixed in. Separate charge required.

We will design your menu with your family or group in mind. Once you have booked you stay at Tres Palmas, we will discuss the likes and don’t likes when it comes to food. We will then do all the shopping prior to your arrival.

It is nice to eat as the locals and since we are surrounded by water, fresh seafood is available all year-round. Nothing flash frozen or farmed, just all natural.

If you have a meat lover in the group we can order Beef Tenderloins, Filet Mignon, Pork Tenderloins, Smoked Pork Chops or Chicken. We can prepare all meats either baked, roasted, grilled or brick oven baked. Some meats are upon availability and need time to arrange.

Since we do have a brick oven, our Chef generally tries to have a pizza night during your stay. We can also prepare all Vegetarian or Vegan diet if you prefer.

Three meals per day per person will be the base charge.

SPA SERVICES

We have a full-time masseuse on-site so you can get a massage anytime you like. After a long day hiking, there is nothing better.

PROPERTY RECAP

Osa Peninsula, as National Geographic put it, is one of the most biologically intense places on earth. Tres Palmas is an 8500 square foot villa estate that sits on 25 acres of primary rain forest. There is a professional Chef and kitchen to cook all your meals.

The Pacific Ocean stretches out to the horizon and you can see the tip of Panama across the Gulfo Dulce. Behind you are hundreds of acres of primary forest teeming with wildlife. Below are magnificent beaches with some of the best fishing and surfing the world has to offer.

Tres Palmas catches the cool tropical breezes coming off the Gulfo Dulce and Pacific Ocean. The sound of surf in the distance, scarlet macaws calling to their mates, while howler monkeys cavort overhead. This lulls you into a sense of harmony with nature.

In the midst of this, a secluded, luxury, exotic house has been built in a Modern Spanish style under a massive palm thatched roof. This keeps the temperature cool in the day and at night, even in summer.

Our property is home to all four types of monkeys, hundreds of bird species, sloths, iguanas, anteaters, and other animal species. Plant specimens are varied and abundant. This magical place offers the rare opportunity to experience nature at its most spectacular and unspoiled.

Soul-nourishing week!
This was an amazing space for a week away with our kids and spouses, who all live in different cities. Tranquil space with lots of options for more excitement (e.g. surfing lessons), and a constant nature show of birds, monkeys, and other wildlife. Delicious food, and friendly staff who went the extra mile (one of our daughters twisted her knee on the first day and needed a few more rides than we'd planned on). We absolutely plan on another visit, hopefully soon!

Great time June 2023
We were a group of 3 families with parents and 4 college age children -- 11 total. We had mostly non surfers but myself and 3 others surfed. Everyone in our group was blown away by the house. I mean it. Its that spectacular --in a good way. Not overdone or gaudy, just amazing design and beauty. Great pool with ocean view and Scarlet Maccaws flying below. Monkeys and other animals plentiful. The Manager Brad was helpful throughout and very responsive. The Chef Ivan and his team of helpers were great. Ivan is a nice guy and will get you any food or other stuff you need from town. We had mostly pescatarians and asked for fish for 8 nights in a row and Ivan managed to create lots of variety with fish and other sides. His deserts were always eagerly anticipated. Ivan made a mango and passion fruit pie from scratch that was amazing. The house is 30 to 40 minutes outside Puerto Jimenez and the drive way to the house is bumpy so going out his not super easy. I highly recommend having Ivan cook which is a bargain at $10 a meal per person. The groundskeeper looked for and found a mama and baby sloth on the property which was on my wife's bucket list to see. The Corcovado day hike is recommended and the guide Melvin was very good. One thing to keep in mind. The property sits above the beach. The hike down to the beach and back up is best suited to folks with good overall fitness. We liked the exercise but some will find it too hard.

Amazing vacation!
We had 13 family members that ranged from 17-81 stay for 2 weeks. It was an unforgettable trip! Ivan made it over the top! He and his staff were so kind and helpful! The house itself is just what we were looking for, no neighbors, tons of wildlife and just so relaxing. There was plenty of room for all of us. If your thinking about renting this place…DO IT!! You won’t regret it!

About the host

I'm an oceanfront restaurant owner living in Cocoa Beach, Florida. I love to fish and surf, so the property in the Matapalo area of Costa Rica made a lot of sense for me and my family.

I also have a luxury property in the Florida Keys that is available through VRBO. It is located in Key Colony Beach in Marathon Florida. The property can be viewed here https://www.vrbo.com/392357. Thank you for considering Tres Palmas Costa Rica as your vacation destination.

Tres Palmas offers views of the Pacific Ocean and the Golfo Dulce. Panama is in the distance to the south and east, world famous surf spot Pavones to the east and Playa Zancudo to the north.

At the end of your walk you will come to a road which will lead you to the three of the most exotic beaches the southern zone of Costa Rica has to offer.

Enjoy a walk to the beach down our walking path through a beautiful rain-forest jungle, where it's common to see monkeys, macaws, toucans, sloths, anteaters, coati to name a few.
