Peaceful Hillside Villa with Stunning Views

Overview

Villa Paraiso del Sur is a secluded retreat designed for creatives seeking to unplug and recharge. Set in a jungle environment, this villa offers a peaceful escape where you can enjoy morning walks to a nearby lookout, relax by the pool while watching monkeys pass by, or unwind with local beer and wine while taking in breathtaking sunsets and panoramic views.

The Space

Located on a forested hilltop just 15 minutes south of San Juan del Sur, this casual villa boasts uninterrupted panoramic vistas of the ocean and mountains. It is an ideal sanctuary for dreamers, photographers, writers, designers, and small groups looking to reflect and reconnect away from city life.

Wake up to the sounds of tropical birds or spot spider, howler, and white-faced Capuchin monkeys swinging through the nearby trees while sipping freshly brewed Nicaraguan coffee.

Villa Paraiso del Sur consists of one main house, El Rancho, and two separate cabañas. Each accommodation blends indoor and outdoor living with warm hardwood finishes, terraces, a pool, open-plan living areas, and expansive windows and doors that maximize the stunning views.
