The Space
Perched at the edge of Manuel Antonio National Park, Casa Prana is a luxurious rainforest retreat where the wild meets refined comfort.

A professional concierge, attentive housekeeping team, and on-site gardener are available to help with everything from arranging memorable excursions to organizing private chef dinners.

Wildlife and Nature
Monkeys, sloths, parrots, toucans, and giant blue butterflies visit the property regularly. Casa Prana is also one of the few official sloth-release sites in the area. The Sloth Institute of Costa Rica often releases sloths onto the property, and guests are welcome to join a release if one takes place during their stay.
The property includes rainforest trails and a private seasonal waterfall, all situated directly along the back border of Manuel Antonio National Park. The national park is literally your backyard.

A luxurious, private oasis! Plenty of room for everyone to have their own space. Gorgeous design and decor. It's exactly as described and everything was taken care of. It's a place of calm and relaxation right on the edge of Manuel Antonio National Park. We are already planning our next trip there for a longer stay and with the entire family! Absolutely stunning!

Marks place was hands down the most magical and beautiful Airbnb I have ever seen and stayed at. The pictures truly don’t do it justice. It felt like a spa retreat at a high end resort. The beds, linens and pillows were so comfortable. Every nook and cranny looked like it was staged for a magazine. We hired a private chef that was recommended and it was totally with it. Many thanks to the concierge Wai! He was always available! so helpful and kind. I literally could go on and on. We will definitely be go back often! Thank you so very much Mark!

We e stayed at this property twice now and both times have been fantastic. The owners use a concierge service and Wai, our concierge, is always super helpful and responsive. This is a fantastic place to get away and relax in the beautiful surroundings of the Costa Rican rainforest. Loved it. Highly recommend!

I can’t say how incredible this place was! From the personal check-in/tour of property to the thoughtful touches… Came for a family reunion and it was magical. Tucans, motmot, squirrel/capuchin/howler monkeys, poison dart frogs on the back staircase through the jungle… You’re literally staying in a dream rainforest house in the best national park in CR. Best Airbnb I’ve ever stayed in and whole family of travels agree

Our stay at Prana Rainforest Resort and Spa was nothing short of extraordinary. The property is absolutely stunning and impeccably clean, with beautifully designed, spacious bathrooms that feel like a private spa. It easily accommodated our group of 14, offering plenty of room for everyone to relax comfortably. The swimming pool was a true highlight—crystal clear and perfectly warm, making it a favorite gathering spot. The staff were exceptional, attentive, and ensured we had everything we needed throughout our stay. Waking up each morning to the sounds of birds in the surrounding rainforest was magical. Every detail of the experience exceeded our expectations—an unforgettable retreat we would highly recommend.

A beautiful, spacious home in the jungle. Our group of 10 senior citizens thoroughly enjoyed our week at Prana rainforest retreat. We saw toucans, howler and capuchin monkeys, and even a wooly possum from the back porch. The concierge, housekeeper, and gardener were exceptional. We are all ready to return.

Absolutely amazing home for our family trip! We have 3 adult children & their spouses & the way the bedrooms are spread out allowed for privacy & the hub of the home & pool was perfect for tons of family time. Wai helped us plan fun excursions & even provided a daily itinerary which was so helpful. Gabby cleaned for us every day & was so friendly & kind. The groundskeeper even helped us change a tire. We hired Desiree twice to prepare dinners & we highly recommend. We could recommend a stay at Mark’s home more!

Our group (4 adults, 5 kids) had an incredible week at Mark's place. The house is a beautiful space and exactly as described in the listing. The staff was amazing: a concierge who helped us plan a perfect trip and coordinate every detail, a housekeeper who kept the place spotless and did our laundry, and a chef (not included, but coordinated through the concierge) who prepared amazing meals for our group. The location is what makes this place so special (but also comes with tradeoffs). As described in the listing, this house is at the edge of a national park. Monkeys played in the trees next to the house every day, and we spotted lots of other amazing wildlife. The house is very private (no other homes visible). However, you should know that being at the edge of the rainforest means lots of small critters near the house (mostly outside, but sometimes inside). Walking to restaurants is not easy, but taxis were easy to coordinate. Overall, we had an unforgettable stay!
