In the world of luxury home rentals, this 10-bedroom, 10-full-baths villa in Costa Rica/Manuel Antonio is a rare gem of tropical comfort and modernity. Located in one of the most exclusive areas of Manuel Antonio—and boasting spectacular ocean, rainforest, and National Park views—seclusion and complete privacy are yours. Yet some of the area's best restaurants and white sand beaches are located less than a mile away.

THE GRAND ENTRY LEVEL

The 12,000 sq. ft., 4-level villa—appointed throughout with rare woods, travertine marble, limestone, glass, terrazzo, tilework, and copper—is divided into two wings. The entrance area sets the stage. A wall of water cascades next to the front door, providing a beach-rinsing foot bath. Just inside the almendro wood front door, a papyrus water garden sits in an oval, glass-bottom pond which looks down into the game room. Perfect for large parties, the entry level hosts a 1,000 sq. ft. grand salon—complete with a faux crocodile-topped bar and generous seating areas, flat screen TV, and stereo system—and 2 outdoor living rooms. There are indoor and outdoor dining rooms (each seating 12) as well. A fully equipped, stainless steel and granite, restaurant-quality gourmet kitchen is separated from the dining area by a cabinet wall and window, through which you can glimpse your French chef in action. The entry level also includes a BBQ, 2 half baths, a hotel-size infinity edge pool, and a huge, 20-person, solar-heated whirlpool.

THE BEDROOMS

The upper level, with its covered balconies, has a large master suite and three more master bedrooms. The two lower levels feature a second master suite, 5 additional bedrooms—each with its own bath and all air conditioned. The master suite—boasting peerless ocean and rainforest views, a luxury king-size bed (with 500-count Egyptian cotton bedding, and feather and hypo-allergenic pillows), a large bar (with sink and fridge), and dressing area with vanity—also features a balcony lounge area. The second master suite is similarly appointed, and all the bedrooms are custom decorated for luxury relaxation, with tropical soaps and bathrobes, and steel safes for valuables.

THE BATHROOMS

The spa-like master bath features a platform shower with a rain showerhead hanging from a 12-foot bamboo ceiling. Opposite, is a huge, turquoise-glass bathtub, and a separate toilet and bidet. The second master bath has a sunken tub and a separate 3-head shower. All of the baths are appointed for the utmost in comfort and ease and include tropical soaps and bathrobes.

THE SPA

Our in-house spa offers three fully equipped treatment rooms in a nurturing tropical environment where you can relax your body, revitalize your mind, and renew your spirit! Schedule some private pampering, a couples massage, or let your troubles melt away with a bridal-party spa session. Available in-house spa services include deep-tissue, reflexology, and Thai massage, thermo mud wraps, chocolate/coffee body scrubs, and tropical enzyme polishes.

THE GAME ROOM, GYM and CINEMA

Come on down to the air-conditioned lower level for some fun and fitness! The game room has a regulation-size pool table, foosball, ping pong, darts, a flat-screen TV, and is lined on one side with banquette seating and ocean views. The 500 sq. ft. gym hosts two stationary bikes, an electronic treadmill, dial weights, a Universal machine, mats, ball, a message table, and space for private training, yoga, and Pilates classes. The cinema, with deep-sofa seating for 30, has a digital projector, and a large fridge and microwave for popcorn and snacks. Our office maintains a library of current and classic films.

FLORA and FAUNA

Wildlife is abundant in Manuel Antonio, and includes monkeys, sloths, kinkachoos, butterflies, and several species of exotic birds. The grounds of Casa Fantastica are planted with tropical specimens which encourage wildlife visits, and the views from the entire house are designed to make the most of this fantastic setting. The grand salon features a wall of floor-to-ceiling windows, 30 feet up, overlooking this rainforest panorama.

WEDDING TENT and DANCE FLOOR

To create a party in paradise, our elegant wedding tent with wooden dance floor may be set up on the grass lawn. A brocade valance with silk tassels in ivory and natural linen will complement any color scheme. Two 42" puka-shell chandeliers complement candlelight in the evening hours. With room for 80 diners or 100 dancers, the tent can accommodate a live band, a DJ, or your own iPod/iPad music.

STAFF and SERVICES

Casa Fantastica has two housekeepers on staff six days a week to take care of all of your cleaning needs. There is also a gardener and a pool man, and a handyman on 24-hour call. A private chef is available, and the dedicated staff is at your disposal around the clock. Our concierge and host can arrange Costa Rica tours, transportation, chef, and in-house spa services, and can answer any questions you may have about this beautiful part of the world.
