Villa Montemar

Traveling south through Costa Rica, the tropics unveil their striking beauty, and Montemar Chontales Villa marks the true beginning of that journey.

Poised high above the jungle, Montemar Chontales transcends the ordinary. The air is lighter, the rhythm of life unhurried. This is not a place discovered by chance, but a destination sought with purpose.
For those wishing to escape the noise- distant from crowded beaches, congested roads, and overdeveloped tourist enclaves-Montemar Chontales presents a distinct vision of Costa Rica. Set within the hillside community of Chontales on the southern Osa Peninsula, this exclusive five-bedroom villa was chosen for its exceptional setting: above the verdant canopy, with panoramic views stretching toward the Pacific and the untouched wilderness that makes this region one of the most biologically diverse on the planet.
Designed for families, small retreats, or a few of your best friends, Villa Montemar Chontales blends modern comfort with a setting that invites you into an elevated experience of the Osa. The home features a two-level outdoor living space with a private pool, BBQ, and multiple areas to gather-whether dining al fresco or quiet moments overlooking the jungle canopy, Talamanca Mountains, or Pacific Ocean with views of Cano Island and Drake Bay.
Inside, you’ll find a fully equipped chef’s kitchen with double ovens, updated furnishings, and thoughtful touches throughout, including several coffee stations to ease into slow mornings.
Set within a gated community, the property offers both privacy and peace of mind. The only sounds you’re likely to hear are the surrounding nature birds at sunrise, distant waves, and the rhythm of the jungle. Wildlife is an integral part of the experience here, with the lush garden and surrounding trees often visited by colorful parrots, striking toucans, Howler monkeys, delicate butterflies, and more.
For those who enjoy staying active, the villa boasts a private indoor gym and yoga studio, enabling you to keep your fitness routine without stepping off the property. The primary suite offers a luxurious king bed, en-suite bathroom, and a private balcony with sweeping distant ocean views. Four additional bedrooms each feature queen beds, with one room including a queen-over-queen bunk bed, perfect for families. These rooms are connected via convenient Jack-and-Jill bathrooms, ensuring both privacy and ease. Each room offers either garden views or Ocean views and private sliding glass door access to the gardens or gym.
The main living area includes a half bath, while a full bathroom is located near the pool. A separate office/media room features a pull-out sofa, mini fridge, TV, and workspace-ideal for blending work and leisure. The home accommodates up to 12 guests comfortably, with space for two more on the pull-out sofa. The villa offers air conditioning in every living space, high-speed WiFi, a Laundry Room with washer and dryer, herb gardens and fruit trees (seasonal), and drinkable safe water.
Montemar Chontales is just 15 minutes from the coastal highway and nearest medical services, 20 minutes from the supermarket and Palmar Sur Airport, and 30 minutes from the Sierpe, where boat tours depart for Corcovado National Park and Caño Island. Beaches, fine dining in Ojochal, and outdoor adventures like surfing, kayaking, ziplining, snorkeling, fishing, and waterfalls are all within easy reach. For international visitors, the villa is about a 4.5-hour drive from San José or a short 30-minute flight to Palmar Sur.
