About This Property

Experience tropical luxury at Villa Bambú, a stunning new modern villa thoughtfully designed with bamboo and natural materials to harmonize with its lush surroundings. Nestled in the eco-conscious community of Palmas Pacific, this serene retreat offers privacy, tranquility, and daily encounters with Costa Rica’s incredible wildlife — all just minutes from Quepos and Manuel Antonio. The villa features two spacious bedrooms with king-size beds, each with its own en-suite bathroom, plus a guest bathroom and ceiling fans throughout. Though there is no air conditioning, the home was designed for natural airflow, keeping interiors cool and comfortable. The open-concept living and dining area flows effortlessly into a fully equipped kitchen with modern appliances, including a refrigerator, stove, coffee maker, blender, and toaster. Floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding glass doors blur the line between indoor and outdoor living, immersing guests in rainforest views at every turn. A laundry room with washer and dryer adds convenience during your stay. Step outside to your private 60-foot saltwater pool surrounded by tropical gardens, vibrant flora, and towering palms. The terrace is the perfect place to unwind, featuring comfortable lounge chairs, outdoor showers, and inviting spaces for swimming, sunbathing, or enjoying an evening cocktail as the sounds of nature surround you. Palmas Pacific is a peaceful, eco-oriented neighborhood offering scenic hiking trails through primary and secondary rainforest, a botanical and butterfly garden at Biophilia Park (which transforms into the Jungle Night Experience after dark), and tennis courts available for a small fee. The villa is less than ten minutes from Quepos and Marina Pez Vela and just under twenty minutes from Manuel Antonio’s world-famous beaches and National Park. Renting a car is recommended for flexibility, though local taxis are available around the clock, and most tours include complimentary pick-up directly from the villa. Villa Bambú includes high-speed Wi-Fi, Smart TV, beach towels, and complimentary concierge service to help arrange tours, transportation, and airport shuttles (available for an additional fee). Rates are based on one to two guests, with an additional charge of $25 per night for each extra guest. Whether you’re seeking peaceful seclusion or easy access to Costa Rica’s natural wonders, Villa Bambú offers the perfect balance of comfort, sustainability, and pure Pura Vida living.

We had a wonderful stay at Villa Bambu!
Communication and booking was easy and stress free! Julio was super helpful with questions and had great suggestions for reserving wildlife adventures.
The drive to the house, once past the gates, was a bit bumpy however so pretty with it's lots of nature and animals to see.
The house is perfect, so clean, looks just like the photos & stocked with everything you need plus some added welcoming treats!
Though there is no air conditioning there are fans in every room and a pleasant cross breeze when the patio doors/front door are open in the evening. (we booked end of March)
The pool is so nice and you get a real wildlife experience every morning with monkeys, iguanas, bats & every type of bird right there in the trees and greenery outside on the back patio!
We were a family of four and there was plenty of room for us all!

This was an absolutely incredible place to stay! It's very secluded, the nature surrounding the home and pool are beautiful, and the home itself is amazing. We loved the open space of the home, the glass doors looking out to the pool, the huge island and kitchen area, beautful bathrooms - all of it. The pool is huge (60 feet long) and temperature is perfect, probably 90 degrees. I would recommend an SUV or larger vehicle for the rough road getting to the home. We really hope we can return to visit again one day as my wife and I fell in love with this place.

Thank you, Clay! So glad you and your wife had such a special stay ????

This home is WELL worth the money! It’s in a small quiet community in a wildlife park, and has lots of things to do just on the grounds themselves. The house is perfect for two couples. Fully stocked kitchen, I cooked like crazy while we were there since the MaxiPali was only about a 10 minute drive away. Joe was an incredible host, so helpful and supportive. I highly recommend hiring Vicki for at least one private meal, she is so kind and a talented chef! She helped our friends become engaged with her unique dessert, and she will be a great part of that memory forever. She was even gracious enough to chat with me while she cooked so I could practice my Spanish (it was so rusty!) I was worried that no A/C would mean uncomfortable nights but the fan was more than enough. It gets nice and cool at night and the house is well ventilated. We saw tons of wildlife: monkeys, macaws, toucans, iguanas, lizards, all from the swimming pool! There will be bugs, you are in the rainforest-be aware!

Response from Host

Thank you so much for the wonderful review, Deanna!

We’re really happy to hear how much you enjoyed Villa Bambu and the peaceful setting of Manuel Antonio Estates. It’s great that you were able to take advantage of the kitchen and nearby MaxiPali, and even better that the wildlife made so many appearances during your stay — the monkeys and macaws around the pool are always a special experience.

We’re also very glad Joe was able to assist you during your visit, and that you had the chance to enjoy a private dinner with Vicki. Hearing that she helped create such a meaningful moment for your friends’ engagement truly makes us smile.

Thank you as well for sharing the note about the natural rainforest environment — it’s all part of the authentic jungle experience here.

It was a pleasure hosting you, and we would love to welcome you back to Manuel Antonio Estates anytime. Pura Vida ????

The Villa Bambú in Quepos is a beautiful place! The house is very spacious and has a nice pool. It‘s surrounded by beautiful nature. You need to take a dirt road to get there but the instructions were clear and we enjoyed our stay very much. The staff was always available and provided a great service! One needs to be aware that there can be some bugs in the house since it‘s close to nature, but that also means you get to see animals at the pool e.g. monkeys, coati or birds. We would definitely recommend a stay there!

Response from Host

Thank you so much for your beautiful words about Villa Bambú! We are very happy you enjoy the house, the pool and all the nature around us

The property in Costa Rica was absolutely beautiful! The surroundings were stunning, and the house was well-maintained and clean. It was a perfect spot for a relaxing getaway. One thing we wish we had paid closer attention to was that the house does not have air conditioning. Since we stayed over Christmas, the temperatures were manageable, but we’re not sure if our experience would have been the same during the hotter summer months. Overall, it was a wonderful stay, and we would recommend it for anyone looking to enjoy the beauty of Costa Rica!

We had such a great stay! The place was super clean, cozy, and had everything we needed to feel right at home. The host was really friendly and easy to communicate with, which made the whole experience even better. The location was perfect—close to everything but still nice and quiet. Honestly, we didn’t want to leave and would 100% stay here again!

The views were beautiful and the property was just as described. The host was AMAZING and referred us to a ton of local restaurants, entertainment, and even the best car rental spots. It was really fun to see monkeys playing around the pool every morning too. We were concerned about it not having air conditioning but with the fans going and the curtains closed in the bedrooms you can’t tell that it doesn’t have ac. We brought bug spray and didn’t need it a single time. This truly is an amazing place to check out!

Response from Host

Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so glad you enjoyed your stay at Villa Bambú and appreciated the local recommendations. It’s great to hear that the fans kept you comfortable and that you got to see the monkeys by the pool! We’d love to host you again in the future.

Beautiful home that sits in the tropical jungle surrounded by nature. We enjoyed the birds and monkeys that would frequent the home and the night sounds and stars were spectacular.

Highly recommend to others that want to enjoy the area and recharge at this newly built home. The pool was so much fun and all of the interior was in perfect condition.

Great experience overall.

Response from Host

We loved Villa Bambu.
The place is even more beautiful than the photos show. The intimacy with Nature is exactly what we were looking for. each morning, we woke up to birds singing and filled our eyes with greenery after drawing the curtains back.

unfortunately it rained both days so we could not spend a lot of time enjoying the outdoor settings. Bugs were not an issue for us. The space was comfortable, warm and inviting. We looked up the place as a last minute panic search because our hotel experience was suboptimal - I wish we had spent our entire time in Quepas/Manuel Antonio at Villa Bambu.

if you have access to a car to get around, I'd highly recommend Villa Bambu

Response from Host

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that Villa Bambu exceeded your expectations and provided the peaceful connection with nature you were looking for. It's unfortunate about the rain, but we're glad you still enjoyed the comfort and beauty of the space. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for a longer stay in the future!

Villa Bambu has been the best property we stayed at during our vacation. The design is stunning and the attention for details is impressive. The space is large and the villa blends amazingly well with the surroundings because of the view over the pool and vegetation and the fact that the top of the back wall is open with just a screen as separation and you can hear all the sounds of the nature outside. Swimming in the pool both in the morning and at the end of the day was another highlight of our stay. If we were to travel again to this part of Costa Rica we would definitely try staying here again.

Response from Host

Thank you so much for your kind words, Mirco! We’re thrilled to hear that you had such a wonderful experience at Villa Bambu. It’s fantastic to know that the design, attention to detail, and seamless connection with the natural surroundings contributed to making your stay so special. Swimming in the pool in the morning and evening truly is a magical experience, and we’re glad it was a highlight of your vacation.

We would be delighted to host you again if you return to this part of Costa Rica. Until then, we wish you many more amazing adventures!

Pura vida :D

Totally incredible stay in the middle of the jungle, the villa is gorgeous and well equipped, 5mins from Quepos / 15 from Manuel Antonio.

You are really in the jungle here - there’s a group of spider monkeys that will chill by the banana trees in front of the pool. Only caution with this place is that - sliding doors let bugs in, and there’s no sound proofing so you really feel in the middle of the jungle while here. Hopefully that’s your thing. It definitely was ours!

Response from Host

Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Reuben! We're thrilled to hear you had an incredible stay and enjoyed the villa and its beautiful jungle setting. The squirrel monkeys by the pool are certainly a special treat! We appreciate your feedback about the sliding doors and soundproofing, and we’ll keep that in mind for future improvements. We're so glad the jungle atmosphere was exactly what you were looking for. We hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable stay!

Julio was a great guest and their place was beautiful. It's a great place to rent with a group of friends and perfect to hang out during the rainy days of Costo Rica. It's also not too far from Quepos.

First vacation in years without kids and it was exactly what we needed. The villa was peaceful and luxurious, perfect for reconnecting as a couple. We spent mornings bird watching from our balcony - saw over 50 species! The spa services were incredible. Already planning our return trip.

Response from Host

It's wonderful when couples can rediscover each other in such a beautiful setting. Costa Rica's birdlife is truly spectacular - 50 species is an impressive count! We'd love to welcome you back.

First of all the organization and handling by "Manuel Antonio Estates" was very professional, communication easy and very quick. Can fully be recommended.

The location of the Villa Bambú is just a few minutes outside town in a very quite area for "nature lovers". The garden attracts different kind of animals, which makes e.g. the watching of parrots, monkeys or toucans with a morning coffee or glass of wine in the evening possible. Moreover a short hiking trail through parts of the rain forest is just nearby. For a night walk I recommend a guide as otherwise many of the available animals might be missed.

The house is large, well equipped, comfortable and another highlight for us was the 18 m long pool which is great for sporty swimmer.

Response from Host

Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback! I’m thrilled to hear that you had a wonderful stay at Villa Bambú and enjoyed the peaceful, nature-filled surroundings. It’s great to know you appreciated the wildlife and the spacious pool, perfect for a good swim. We’re also glad our team at Manuel Antonio Estates made the process easy and enjoyable for you.

We hope to welcome you back for more wildlife watching and relaxation soon!

Villa Bamboo is everything you can expect from the pictures and the description, and so much more. We are a family of four (2 parents and 2 kids) and we had the best time. The house is spacious - there is plenty of room to be together but there is also lots of space for parents to have some peace and quiet. The outdoor pool is a lot of fun. We played in there a lot while we were not exploring the surroundings. The house is close to everything, for example beaches, tours, restaurants, sodas and bakeries. The kitchen is fully equipped, clean and with lots of room to move around. The host Julio is very professional and friendly. He sent us lots of information beforehand and while we were there. Although the villa is in the jungle, it was easy to find thanks to the instructions Julio sent to us. As I said, we had a wonderful time and it was hard to live. I recommend this place to anyone who wants a nice, clean, safe, fun place where to stay in Manuel Antonio area. Pura Vida!

I do recommend Julio’s place. We really enjoyed our stay. The house is more beautiful in person! We enjoyed the scenery around the pool. The only suggestion I would have is to make sure that you spray your raid as needed, there are ants and bugs that do come into the airbnb due to the location and it being surrounded by the jungle. Overall an incredible stay!

Response from Host

Thank your, Kyla! We are glad that you enjoyed your stay at Villa Bambu! We always have bug spray ready for our guests in case they need some ;)

Julio and Fabio have been great hosts and very responsive. Villa Bamboo is brand new construction surrounded by “jungle” and nature with great views of birds, monkeys, hummingbirds etc. while it is not exactly at the at the coast, it is just 10-15min away from Quepos town with all the needs. Kitchen is fully equipped so you can easily stay there for a day or 2 without need to leave and just to enjoy the sounds of nature…

Response from Host

Hola Martin, its great to know our team provide attentive and responsive service to ensure a pleasant stay. Villa Bamboo seems like a fantastic retreat, we are glad you like the construction that's immersed in the breathtaking beauty of the jungle. The abundance of wildlife, from birds to monkeys and hummingbirds, must create a truly magical atmosphere. its great that you like the proximity to Quepos town, the 10 minute drive makes it convenient to access all necessities while still enjoying the tranquility of nature. The fully equipped kitchen is a wonderful and confortable plus.! Overall, it sounds like Villa Bamboo offers a perfect blend of modern comfort and natural splendor for a memorable getaway.Thank you for staying with us and for your amazing comments.!

Our stay at Villa Bambú is one that we will remember forever. From the large, open glass walls to the natural bamboo facade, we felt like we were part of the jungle surrounding the home. Waking up to the sound of birds, spotting monkeys over our heads while lounging by the pool, and stargazing at night were just some of the highlights of the trip. The house is beautiful, spacious, clean, and modern, and has all the amenities you could need during your stay. We highly recommend Villa Bambú and hope to be back someday!
