The space

🌿 A Home That Breathes With Nature

Constructed entirely from teak wood and assembled using traditional techniques—without nails—The Zen embodies craftsmanship, sustainability, and timeless elegance. Every detail was conceived using outside-in and inside-out design principles, allowing nature to flow freely through the home.

Its privileged location allows for passive climate control, where natural ventilation flows effortlessly through the space, guided by refreshing sea and mountain breezes. Solar shading is naturally provided by impressively large trees, creating cool, comfortable interiors without sacrificing openness or light.

🌅 Nature as the Main Event
From sunrise painting the mountains in gold to sunsets melting into the Pacific Ocean, each day unfolds like a private performance. Storms roll in dramatically, sunlight dances across teak walls, and nights bring deep stillness under the stars.

Wildlife is also part of the experience with frequently visits of monkeys, toucans, macaws, butterflies, and tropical birds. Immerse yourself in the primary forest just 5 minute walk from the villa part of the property.

✨ A Fully Curated Zen Experience
The Zen goes beyond accommodation. It offers space, silence, beauty, and reconnection. A sanctuary where life is experienced more slowly, more consciously, and more fully.

Other things to note
A 4×4 vehicle is MANDATORY to get to the property (not 4×2 AWD).

Please Note You’re in a Tropical Paradise 🌿
Costa Rica’s tropical climate is home to a wide variety of insects, lizards, rodents, and reptiles. While we have a strict pest control plan in place to keep these visitors outside the home, it’s important to understand that occasional encounters with local wildlife are part of the natural experience and do not constitute a breach of the rental policy. We appreciate your understanding as you embrace the beauty of this vibrant ecosystem.
