The Space
Casa Samba is a private five-bedroom hilltop villa with remarkable 270-degree views of the Pacific Ocean, rainforest, and Manuel Antonio National Park. The property features a private infinity-style pool, spacious open-air living areas, a game room, and five air-conditioned suites arranged across multiple levels for added privacy.
Wildlife frequently moves through the surrounding rainforest canopy, while restaurants, beaches, and local attractions are only minutes away. Personal Escape Villas concierge service is available throughout your stay.
Casa Samba rises above Manuel Antonio and spans approximately 5,200 square feet across four levels. Designed around its panoramic setting, the villa includes expansive terraces, open-air living spaces, and natural ventilation that brings ocean breezes and tropical scenery into the home.
The private infinity-style pool sits above the coastline, offering views of the surrounding jungle and Pacific horizon. Poolside lounge areas provide a comfortable setting for relaxing and enjoying the scenery.
The main living areas are designed for Manuel Antonio’s tropical climate, with an open-air layout, ceiling fans, and refreshing ocean breezes. The kitchen, dining area, and gathering spaces connect naturally to create a relaxed environment for families and friends.
The spacious game and entertainment room includes:
- Comfortable seating

The room is ideal for relaxing after a day of exploring Costa Rica.

Wildlife is an integral part of the experience. Monkeys, sloths, toucans, scarlet macaws, and other tropical visitors are frequently seen moving through the surrounding rainforest canopy.
Although the villa enjoys an elevated and private setting, it is conveniently located near:

Million dollar view and then some. It’s more beautiful than the photos and an unforgettable place. Monkeys visited, macaws and toucans flew by, it was magical. As stated- be aware there are many, many stairs. This would not be a good choice for toddlers or folks with mobility limitations.

We loved our stay at this beautiful house! Communication with David and Fernando was great and our Chef meals were a highlight of the trip! Our only issue was that we had 2 toddlers and the house has tons of stairs without railings that made it challenging to move around the house. Also as you are essentially in Manuel Antonio park, the animals are intense. We saw monkeys (which come after your food) and a sloth everyday, but if you leave any crumbs on the floor the ants and spiders come in like a minute. Luckily they included daily cleaning or this would have gotten out of hand! Overall great stay but I may have chosen a different house for young kids.

Amazing experience! Wonderful home with beautiful views! The team is superb. Everything was very clean and organized. When an issue arose it was fixed swiftly! Chef Marco was the hit of the trip! Great guy and AMAZING food. Out of this world. Added so much to the trip.

Casa Samba was everything and some. We arrived at night and had a look around the beautiful home. Tired from our travels we decided to get some rest and get an early start the following day. And was that the right decision… we woke up to an absolute breathtaking view with howler monkeys at the top of the tree tops alarming the suns coming up, and white faced capuchin monkeys on the game room patio. It was like we were still dreaming. I’d highly recommend Casa Samba as you are in a safe gated community with breathtaking wildlife and views. (We saw all three monkeys from our patio, iguanas, 1 sloth, hummingbirds, and a few other critters.) definitely will be booking another trip in the near future.

The house is big and comfortable, great view and very clean. There are a lot of stairs to get to the house and inside the house.

This house is just like photos and we enjoyed every minute there. The pool looks small but it was the absolutely perfect size for our family that included 6 adults and 2 little ones. The common spaces were so comfortable and inviting. There was plenty of room for us to spread out and to gather together. We just loved it!!
