Mariposa: 1BR Apartment in Villa Mar y Sol - Central, Tranquil & Good Wildlife!

Villa Mar y Sol is a towering, white villa located in central Manuel Antonio in a quiet residential neighborhood known for its abundance of wildlife. There are a total of 4 apartments which share an idyllic pool, sunning terrace and barbecue rancho. The infinity-edge pool is expansive, with ocean views and a resort-like feel. There is a gas grill and bar area for your convenience. Lounge chairs, shade sails and a bar area make for perfect relaxation, and a western orientation makes for fantastic sunsets. All around the villa are beautiful, tropical gardens and rainforest.

Mariposa (aka 'Butterfly') is a 1-bedroom rainforest-view apartment on the lower level of the main villa, with a full kitchen and spacious private balcony. There is AC, internet and a 42" smart TV. It should be noted for mobility-impaired folk that there are 2 flights of stairs to reach the apartment.

Villa Mar y Sol is located in Valle Pura Vida, which literally translates as the ‘Valley of Pure Life’. True to its namesake, the area is rife with wildlife and natural beauty. A nearby scarlet macaw reintroduction project funded by the Gaia Hotel means that these giant, exotic and colorful birds are ever-present. It’s also common to see monkeys, toucans, iguanas, sloths and other animals directly from your balcony. If that’s not enough, the villa is also a 45-minute hike to Manuel Antonio’s only real waterfall, and 30 minutes from the area’s more secluded, rocky beaches.

Villa Mar y Sol is ideal for nature-lovers and relaxation-seekers alike!

While not necessary, a 4x4 is recommended as the last part of the road to Villa Mar y Sol is somewhat steep (though paved).
