About Spectacular Mountainside Residence Featuring Panoramic Whale Tail Views

Villa la Luna – A Rare Coastal Masterpiece with Unmatched Views

Featured in The New York Times, Villa la Luna is an exceptional example of tropical modern architecture, offering a rare blend of luxury, privacy, and breathtaking natural beauty. Set on over 0.66 acres in the prestigious Escaleras community—where properties are seldom available—this remarkable residence is one of the most sought-after homes in Costa Rica’s southern Pacific region.

Perfectly positioned along a paved road at an ideal elevation, the 3,500 sq. ft. single-level estate enjoys cooling ocean breezes and comfortable temperatures year-round. No other property in the area combines this level of accessibility with complete privacy, making Villa la Luna truly one of a kind.

Unrivaled Ocean & Mountain Views

Every space in Villa la Luna has been thoughtfully designed to capture sweeping coastal panoramas. From nearly every room, enjoy uninterrupted views of the iconic Whale’s Tail, the expansive Pacific Ocean, and the lush valleys and mountains rising dramatically from the shoreline.

Floor-to-ceiling glass walls dissolve the boundary between indoors and outdoors, creating an immersive living experience where the ocean, sky, and jungle become part of everyday life.

Tropical Modern Design Meets Luxury Living

Crafted with warm teak flooring, natural stone accents, and clean modern lines, the home seamlessly blends refined elegance with Costa Rica’s raw natural beauty. Expansive open-concept living spaces flow effortlessly to the infinity-edge pool and manicured tropical gardens, where wildlife sightings are a daily delight.

The chef’s kitchen features a striking quartz waterfall island, making it a natural gathering place after days spent exploring nearby beaches, waterfalls, and rainforest adventures. Outdoors, a fully equipped kitchen and grill station complement generous dining and lounge areas—each framed by endless ocean views.

Three Luxurious Private Suites

The home offers three spacious bedroom suites, each designed as a private sanctuary with rich teak flooring, stunning ocean views, and spa-inspired ensuite bathrooms featuring rain showers, double vanities, and high-end finishes.

A thoughtfully designed split floor plan places the primary suite on one side of the residence, creating a peaceful retreat complete with retractable glass doors, a serene spa-style bathroom, and a large walk-in closet with dressing area. On the opposite wing, two guest suites provide exceptional comfort and privacy for family and visitors alike.

The Escaleras Lifestyle

Escaleras is widely regarded as the premier mountainside community in the region, where architecturally distinct homes are thoughtfully integrated into the natural landscape. Wildlife corridors weave through the surrounding jungle, offering daily encounters with monkeys, birds, and other native species.

Just minutes away, Dominical to the north and Uvita to the south provide charming town centers, pristine beaches, and a relaxed coastal lifestyle. For everyday convenience, two of the area’s most acclaimed restaurants are only three minutes downhill, alongside a café, grocery store, spa, and essential services.
