—270° VIEWS FROM ABOVE MANUEL ANTONIO

Welcome to Casa Samba, a spectacular five-bedroom luxury villa perched at one of the highest residential points in Manuel Antonio.

From its elevated hillside setting, the villa captures extraordinary 270-degree views across the Pacific Ocean, rainforest canopy, Cathedral Point, and Manuel Antonio National Park—creating a perspective that few properties in the area can match.


The experience changes throughout the day.

Wake to tropical birds and wildlife moving through the canopy below. Spend the afternoon beside your private infinity-style pool. Gather for sunset cocktails as the Pacific horizon changes color, then enjoy the evening surrounded by the sounds of the rainforest.

Spanning approximately 5,200 square feet across four levels, Casa Samba combines dramatic scenery with privacy, comfortable gathering spaces, and the relaxed indoor-outdoor lifestyle that defines Manuel Antonio.


—A VILLA DESIGNED AROUND THE VIEW

At Casa Samba, the landscape is part of the architecture.

Open living spaces, expansive terraces, large sliding doors, and elevated outdoor areas were designed to take advantage of the property's extraordinary setting.

The main gathering areas flow naturally toward the outdoors, allowing ocean breezes and natural light to move throughout the home.

A fully equipped kitchen connects easily with the dining and entertaining areas, while multiple terraces provide places to gather over morning coffee, enjoy a relaxed meal, or simply stop and take in the view.

Despite the villa's size, its multi-level design allows guests to spend time together while still having private spaces to retreat to throughout the day.


—PRIVATE INFINITY-STYLE POOL ABOVE THE RAINFOREST

Casa Samba's private 25-foot infinity-style pool is one of the villa's signature experiences.

Positioned high above the surrounding rainforest, the pool terrace opens toward expansive views of the Pacific and tropical landscape.

Spend the morning swimming as wildlife moves through the nearby canopy, relax in the Costa Rica sunshine during the afternoon, or gather around the terrace as sunset approaches.

For many guests, some of the best moments at Casa Samba happen right here—without ever leaving the property.


—FIVE BEDROOMS WITH PRIVACY BUILT IN

Casa Samba's five-bedroom configuration works particularly well for extended families, couples, and groups traveling together.

The Vrbo configuration includes:

• Bedroom 1 — King bed
• Bedroom 2 — King bed
• Bedroom 3 — King bed
• Bedroom 4 — Queen bed
• Bedroom 5 — Two double beds

The bedrooms are air-conditioned and feature private en-suite bathrooms, while their distribution throughout the villa creates valuable separation and privacy within a larger group.

The multi-level layout means guests can enjoy their own space when desired while remaining connected through the villa's pool, terraces, dining areas, and shared gathering spaces.


—WILDLIFE AT EYE LEVEL

Casa Samba offers more than views of the rainforest.

It provides a front-row seat to it.

Monkeys move through the surrounding canopy. Scarlet macaws and toucans fly past the terraces. Sloths, tropical birds, and other wildlife can frequently be spotted around the property.

The villa's elevated position creates a particularly memorable perspective because much of this activity happens at or below your eye level from the terraces and outdoor spaces.

Guests consistently describe the wildlife as one of the highlights of staying here, with recent visitors reporting macaws, monkeys, toucans, sloths, and other tropical species directly around the villa.

You don't always have to go looking for Costa Rica's wildlife.

Sometimes it comes to you.


—GAME ROOM & RELAXED ENTERTAINMENT

When your group wants a break from the pool and outdoor adventures, Casa Samba offers additional entertainment at home.

The villa's game area features a pool table and comfortable gathering space, providing another place for families and friends to relax together.

Combined with the pool, terraces, dining areas, and multiple living spaces, the villa offers plenty to enjoy during a day spent entirely at home.


—EXPLORE MANUEL ANTONIO

Casa Samba feels private and elevated above the surrounding landscape, yet Manuel Antonio's most memorable experiences are only minutes away.

Explore Manuel Antonio National Park and its pristine beaches, sail the Pacific coastline on a catamaran, go sportfishing from Marina Pez Vela, zip-line through the rainforest canopy, visit waterfalls, take an ATV adventure, go whitewater rafting, or simply enjoy the area's restaurants and tropical scenery.

Then return to your private hilltop retreat and watch the Pacific sunset from above the rainforest.


—ESCAPE VILLAS CONCIERGE & GUEST SERVICES

Exceptional vacations are about more than where you stay.

Your Escape Villas concierge and guest services team, backed by 27 years of Costa Rica villa hospitality experience, can help personalize your vacation from the planning stage through departure.

Our team can assist with:

• Airport transfers and private transportation
• Grocery pre-stocking
• Optional private chef experiences
• Restaurant recommendations and reservations
• Manuel Antonio National Park tours
• Catamaran and sailing excursions
• Sportfishing charters
• Zip-lining and adventure tours
• Waterfall and ATV excursions
• Customized itineraries and local experiences

Guests regularly highlight the concierge, chef experiences, transportation coordination, and personalized service as important parts of their Casa Samba vacations.

Our goal is simple: make the logistics effortless so your group can concentrate on experiencing Manuel Antonio together.


—AN ELEVATED MANUEL ANTONIO EXPERIENCE

Elevation is what gives Casa Samba its character.

The views become wider.

The ocean breezes become part of everyday living.

Wildlife moves through the rainforest canopy around you.

And the separation between villa and landscape almost disappears.

Combine that setting with five private bedrooms, an infinity-style pool, game room, expansive gathering spaces, and professional Escape Villas hospitality, and Casa Samba becomes much more than an ocean-view vacation home.

It's an opportunity to experience Manuel Antonio from an entirely different perspective.

The villa was incredible. Every morning we woke up to watch the toucans, fire bills, parakeets, and doves fly all around the place and then like clockwork between 4 and 4:30 the monkeys start to come through. We saw the white face monkeys, the bearded howler, and mono Titi come through daily. And the view at night is incredible. David was our host and he was super attentive even when we had a small issue he took care of it immediately. One thing of note is to bring flip-flops for the showers since they are made from rocks and can be a bit uncomfortable for those with foot sensitivity. The pool is much deeper than it looks and is a great way to cool off after a hike through the park or a day at one of the nearby beaches. A bit of travelers advice is to go to the grocery store before you head up into the area. Things are much cheaper down in the city. Plus, there is a mussmani bakery in Quepos, so it is worth the stop. We did hire a chef and he did an excellent job! We had enough food to make another three meals out of it!Overall we are very pleased with our stay and wished we could have stayed one or two more nights.

We had a great experience staying at casa samba. Maids came daily which I wasn’t expecting and the concierge was extremely communicative and willing to help with anything we needed or wanted. Would recommend

This house was everything advertised! The views were beautiful and the house had plenty of rooms and bathrooms to fit our family of nine. We saw abundant wildlife from the house view , including Macaws , Toucans, Coati, lizards and monkeys. You could just enjoy Costa Rica from this home, but we enjoyed A few good tours also arranged by the host of the house. The house does have a lot of stairs, but after a few days you start getting used to them, but put the young people in the top rooms! We really loved our experience and the people were all lovely

Great house with plenty of space. Gary the host is amazing along with Roxie the housekeeper. Junior was our chef and he was outstanding. The food was the best we’ve had with the fish we caught on a charter that day.
