Absolute Luxury in Manuel Antonio





When you first see the Punto de Vista villa in Manuel Antonio, on the central Pacific coast, it is immediately apparent that you won’ be staying in another tourist destination. You will be a guest in a work of art.


As you near the open-air lounge and dining area on the 4th floor of the villa’s west wing you see a panorama of the sequined water of Manuel Antonio’s crescent bay, whitecaps dotting the surf and inexplicable rock formations rising from the ocean.


There is no column supporting the ceiling, there are no walls enclosing you, and only the glass guardrail keeps you from walking right off the edge. Though you are underneath a 5th floor and completely shielded from all weather, you feel a bit disoriented.


This magnificent villa in Manuel Antonio goes beyond being a hotel; it is a non-traditional combination of design and physics. And a definite must see.

Punto de Vista was designed for events, large gatherings and, in particular, for weddings. The villa sleeps up to 27 people.
