The main house (6000 sf/3 levels) sits in a private jungle reserve of 66 acres which has 5 large waterfalls, two rivers, spring fed creeks and kilometers of hiking trails. The house sleeps 12 persons. There is an in-ground pool and 9 person spa. Giant chess is in the garden. Separate laundry facility and work out area. Maintenance and housekeeping staff are on site. For a nominal fee, a cook can be arranged for breakfast, lunch and/or evening meals. Menus will be tailored to your preferences. Local activities include: waterfall adventures ( both swimming and repelling), horseback riding, photo safaris, and mountain hiking. The snorkelling and kayaking in the ocean are only 30 minutes away.
Just completed in Spring 2007, this splendid Costa Rican Villa is situated on a verdant hillside in the mountains of the Southern Pacific Zone, between San Isidro and Dominical With no other homes in sight, and with acres of surrounding forest to insure privacy, you will be able to experience the abundant sights and sounds of the jungle in comfort. The Howler monkeys and the toucans visit daily.
Open air architecture and incredible views of the valley, together with a cooler mountain climate, set this house apart from the beach dwellings. Warm days and cool nights are the norm. At 2100 ft elevation a/c is not needed. Ceiling fans are in every room and the entire main level of the house is open to the gentle breezes. The cafe, bar and great room overlook the pool deck and spa area. Imagine waking up to coffee served on the second floor balcony and watching the sunrise from above the clouds.
The main floor has a reception area/office, commercial style kitchen, breakfast room/cafe, grande salon, full bar, and a media room with projection viewing and theater style seating. SkyTV and internet are provided by satellite. The house has 3 large suites on the second level with a smaller room that can be used as additional sleeping quarters. The third level is the observatory suite with 360 degree panoramic views of the valley and the mountains. There is a separate building below the main house with a well equipped workout center. A caretaker's apartment, the garden rooms and laundry facilities are a short walk below the main house . Water in the house comes from our spring fed creek and is filtered/purified and perfectly safe for drinking. Vehicle parking is abundant however the locals tend to prefer horses over cars. Because of our remote location, guests at Los Aires should have 4WD vehicles, especially in the wetter green season.
Local area activities, including climbing and repelling the Diamante Falls (the highest in CR) and horseback tours to the Nauyaca Falls (the grandest in CR) . Rafting trips, ocean kayak and and canopy zipline tours are available. There are guided tours of the valley on horseback. The more physically fit can challenge themselves by exploring the valley roads on mountain bikes. Mt Chirripo (13,000ft) is in the Southern Zone and is a great overnight hiking trip. Scuba and snorkelling, surfing, and whale watching (in season) are available on easy day trips. Dominical and San Isidro de el General are both 30 minutes away. We are 3.5 hours south of San Jose by well maintained highway. More more information about the area see our website LosAiresCR. com
The main house is the first phase of a jungle resort project. While still available this year, take advantage of the opportunity to rent the whole lodge for your family or group. We guarantee you will enjoy the incredible scenery, tranquility and comfort at Los Aires.
