Private Jungle Sanctuary • Ocean Sunset Views • Private Pool • Wildlife

Escape to Alta Vida, a private jungle sanctuary high above Ojochal where the rainforest meets sweeping views of the Pacific. Spend your days in your private pool, listen for toucans and howler monkeys in the surrounding jungle, and end the evening watching the sun disappear over the Pacific. With two comfortable bedrooms, expansive indoor/outdoor living and complete privacy, Alta Vida is designed for couples, families and friends looking for a peaceful Costa Rican escape.

Alta Vida is a private, architecturally designed 2-bedroom villa tucked into the rainforest above Ojochal, Costa Rica — where jungle canopy, mountain ridgelines, and the Pacific horizon all meet at your own poolside. Built in 2022 on a secluded, sought-after street, this is real Costa Rica.

High ceilings, cross-breezes, and walls of glass erase the line between indoors and out. Wake up to birdsong and jungle canopy views, step outside, and slide straight into your own private pool.

The Heart of the Home
The open-air central living space is shaded, breezy, and built for long dinners, slow mornings, and evening cocktails as the jungle wakes up around you. Original artwork inspired by the rainforest lines the walls, including a hand-painted mural over the open kitchen — a favorite spot for morning coffee. The "just enough" kitchen has a large working counter, hot plate, toaster oven, and microwave, plus private laundry, storage, and a secure safe.

Bedrooms & Sleeping

The perfect private retreat for two couples or a small family.
Bedroom 1: queen bed
Bedroom 2: queen bed (convertible to 2 twin beds), with its own private balcony overlooking the views
Full-size pull-out sofa bed in the living room
Blackout curtains in both bedrooms for genuinely restful sleep
1.5 bathrooms, including an outdoor surf-style shower

Outdoor Living, Built for the View
Step onto the deck to your private splash pool, where the Pacific, the mountains, and the rainforest canopy share the same sightline. A giant poolside lounge, two hammock chairs, and multiple dining and lounge areas are tucked among palms and tropical foliage — with front-row seating for sunsets that turn the whole sky gold every night. A quiet path leads to a shaded jungle nook with a table, lounger, and swings.

Nature, Right Outside the Door
Ojochal sits inside a stretch of lowland rainforest known for its biodiversity. As light fades, cicadas, frogs, and birdsong take over. Watch for toucans, scarlet macaws, sloths, anteaters, and Blue Morpho butterflies — and take a short drive to a private waterfall tumbling into a clear pool, one of the area's best-kept secrets.

Unbeatable Access
Just off the Costanera Highway and minutes from everything: 7 minutes to Turtle Beach, 10 minutes to Marino Ballena National Park (home to the famous Whale's Tail sandbar and sea arches), and 5 minutes to dozens of Ojochal's acclaimed restaurants and cafés. High-speed WiFi throughout, and secure covered parking under a carport.

Ideal for:
Couples seeking a romantic, private escape; nature lovers and birdwatchers; digital nomads and creatives; and anyone who wants authentic Costa Rica, done comfortably.

We fell for this spot's unbeatable combination: total privacy, spacious modern construction, easy proximity to the Ojochal lifestyle, and a view that genuinely stops you in your tracks. Whether you're floating in the pool at sunset or watching the tide pull back at the beach below, every part of a stay at Alta Vida feels like it was built for exactly this.

Private. Elevated. Wildly beautiful. Book your stay at Alta Vida.
