Modern yet cozy, Casita Jungle Nest is an ideal retreat for couples or intimate friends looking to reconnect with nature and tranquility. Sitting along a unique stretch of coastline where the tropical mountains come the closest to the ocean, and adjacent to the country’s largest green belt of national parks, Casita Jungle Nest is strategically positioned in one of the most visited destinations in Costa Rica.
! We are close to the ocean but up on a hill, a 4x4 car is mandatory!
Spanning 35 sqm + 15 sqm deck, it features:
• A thoughtfully designed bedroom for restful nights, supplied with ceiling fan and air-conditioning (if necessary)
• The bedroom features a walk-in closet, which doubles as a changing room and is equipped with a 24/7 dehumidifier to ensure your belongings stay fresh and dry
• One bathroom and a fully equipped kitchen for your convenience.
• Custom, handmade furniture crafted from Costa Rican cedar.
• modern amenities like a washer and dryer
• A private terrace where you can unwind, savor the jungle’s sounds and sights, and enjoy the fresh Costa Rican breeze
• Large windows that invite natural light and ventilation
• The house was completed in December 2024, so the plants in our garden are still growing: very soon they will be blossoming in their full beauty!
• Although surrounded by the lush jungle, you’ll never feel isolated. The main house is just 50 meters away from the Casita, ensuring you’re always connected and supported whenever needed.
• Our place is immersed in the jungle, 90 meters above sea level on a breezy hill: to reach the property you'll have to drive a steep dirt road, a 4X4 car is compulsory! Having a 4X4 car will also allow you to safely visit amazing places in Costa Rica that are impossible to see with a 2 wheel drive, due to lack of paved roads beside the main ones: waterfalls, mountains, valleys, secluded magical places, other amazing hosts!
Experience comfort in harmony with the serene beauty of the jungle.
Casita Jungle Nest sits in AmartiRica, a 4-hectare paradise nestled in the lush tropical forest of the Matapalo Savegre Hills, within a secure gated community.
The property is uphill, a 4x4 vehicle is mandatory!
While enjoying the place you are welcome to roam around the jungle, reach down, deep in the earth, to the creek.
The name AmartiRica holds a special meaning for us, blending the Italian word Amarti (Loving Yourself) with the Spanish Rica (Rich, as in Costa Rica—the Rich Coast*). It reflects our journey of creating a haven of love, connection, and natural beauty. Our story began in Tuscany, Italy, where we created our first home, Podere Amarti. Finding this slice of paradise in Costa Rica felt like fate—a "Rich Love" indeed!
Nestled in the magical hills of Matapalo Savegre, AmartiRica offers an unparalleled experience, less than 5 minutes driving to the pristine Playa Linda Beach and just 15 minutes north of the rustic surf town of Dominical—the gateway to Costa Rica’s breathtaking Southern Zone.
• Stunning Location: A unique coastline where tropical mountains meet the ocean, surrounded by the country’s largest green belt of national parks.
• Ecovillages & Holistic Retreats: The region between AmartiRica and Uvita is home to an inspiring network of ecovillage projects and holistic retreat centers with which we actively collaborate, such as Awake Uvita and the renowned Imiloa Institute, offering transformational workshops, retreats, and experiences.
• Effortless Access: Only 3 hours by car or 25 minutes by air from San José International Airport (SJO).
• Convenience: Proximity to essential services and provisions in one of Costa Rica’s most ecologically rich valleys.
