A Sculptural Sanctuary in the Heart of the Jungle
Designed to operate in perfect harmony with nature, Villa Animales is fully equipped with all the capabilities to run 100% off-grid—powered by the sun, nourished by filtered rainwater, and sustained by systems that allow complete independence without sacrificing comfort or elegance.
Floating above the lush coastal canopy of Santa Teresa, Villa Animales is a masterwork of off-grid design, poised between architectural restraint and ecological exuberance. With panoramic views stretching across Cerro Frío to the endless Pacific horizon, this bespoke residence invites a rare immersion into Costa Rica’s wild abundance, where the architecture vanishes into verdant hills, and the scent of Ylang Ylang, Frangipani, and fresh citrus rides on the breeze.
Crafted with a reverence for the land, Villa Animales is surrounded by a curated tapestry of life. From the dramatic silhouettes of Pochote and Madero Negro, to the elegant sacred bamboos, flowering vines, and rare orchid varietals, the property has been shaped not only to shelter—but to nourish, enchant, and regenerate.
