Villa Montemar - Mountain and Ocean Views + Infinity Pool

Welcome to Villa Montemar A Luxury Retreat in the Heart of Southern Costa Rica

Every room looks out to the Pacific. A heated infinity pool hangs over the jungle canopy. Toucans pass through at dusk, and ocean breezes cool the hillside year-round. Perched at 1,200 feet in the lush highlands of Platanillo, Villa Montemar is a brand-new two-story villa built in 2024 where the Pacific Ocean and the San Juan de Dios Mountains frame every view — deeply private, yet 25 minutes from the surf beaches of Dominical and close to everything Southern Costa Rica has to offer.

Fly into Quepos for a scenic 45-minute drive, or San José for a two-hour journey through the mountains.

The Villa

Villa Montemar was designed for guests who want luxury without pretense. The open first-floor plan centers on a custom chef's kitchen with propane gas cooking, a double-sided refrigerator, ice maker, espresso machine, and everything you need to cook or simply gather. The kitchen flows into a generous dining and living area — every room in the villa looks out to the Pacific — all oriented toward the ocean and the jungle canopy below.
Step outside to the heated infinity pool, outdoor shower, covered dining terrace, and Napoleon charcoal grill — all framed by panoramic views across two levels of outdoor living space.

Outdoor Living

The wraparound second-floor balcony offers sweeping valley and mountain views, while a covered side terrace furnished in teak — sofa, lounge chairs, ambient evening lighting — is made for long evenings with a drink and no agenda. The surrounding ridge road, Fila Cacao, is quiet and beautiful for morning walks.

Location

Villa Montemar sits in a rare sweet spot: deeply private, yet close to everything that makes this corner of Costa Rica special.
Beaches & Coast: 25 minutes to the surf beaches of Dominical, Playa Linda, and Uvita's iconic whale tail beach. Day trips to Manuel Antonio National Park are easy from here.
Adventure: Book whale watching, deep-sea fishing, river rafting, ATV tours, or a guided horseback ride through the valley. Hike to the Nauyaca or Eco Chontales waterfalls — at Chontales, you can ride a horse to the base and order a traditional Costa Rican lunch beside the water.
Nature: Fila Cacao's hiking trails begin steps from the villa, winding through valleys, farmland, and jungle. Ambitious guests can arrange a climb of Cerro Chirripó (3,821m), Costa Rica's highest peak, where clear days reveal both the Pacific and the Caribbean.
Birdwatching: The immediate area is considered a biodiversity hotspot. Toucans, aracaris, parrots, hummingbirds, tanagers, and raptors are regular visitors. Mornings on the terrace feel like waking up inside a sanctuary.
Wellness & Culture: A renowned yoga and spiritual retreat is a short walk down the road. Weekly markets in Tinamaste, Dominical, Uvita, and San Isidro offer organic produce, exotic fruits, local coffee, artisan goods, and some of the best people-watching in the region. Private massage by a local therapist can be arranged on the outdoor terrace.

Villa Montemar is made for digital nomads, families, and couples who want real luxury in a place that still feels wild. Brand-new furnishings, a handcrafted teak staircase, and uninterrupted panoramic views from every room — this is your Southern Costa Rica home base.
