Villas Alturas

Villa life above the rainforest and ocean

At Villas Alturas, the view gives you a reason to stop: Pacific Ocean below, rainforest around the hillside and a villa balcony from which to enjoy both. This all-villa hotel in Dominical brings space and independence to a coastal stay, with the hotel’s shared pleasures close enough to become part of the day.

Spacious villas combine comfortable furnishings and modern amenities with fully equipped kitchens or kitchenettes. One- and two-bedroom choices have living rooms and private balconies, giving families or groups room to settle in. Prepare something to eat, settle outside with the view or gather after a day exploring. Choose the layout around your party’s size and how you would like to spend those quieter hours.

Keep an afternoon for the hilltop

The ocean-view swimming pool makes a quiet afternoon appealing in its own right. The open-air restaurant brings Costa Rican and international flavors together with fresh local ingredients, so dining can keep you connected to the setting. Spa services take place in your room or on your balcony, with traditional and holistic options that include massages, facials and body treatments.

The region offers another pace when you want to explore. Dominical’s beaches invite surfing or lessons, while rainforest walks and birdwatching give you reasons to look inland. Nauyaca Waterfalls and Manuel Antonio National Park are possible excursions, with staff available to recommend attractions and restaurants.

Plan for the approach

A 4x4 vehicle is required to access Villas Alturas. Arrange a suitable vehicle before the journey so you can enjoy the elevated setting with the approach planned. The reward is the elevated outlook, a villa with space to settle in and the chance to enjoy the coast from a quieter perspective.

Recycling and energy-efficient systems form part of the hotel’s environmental practices. For travelers who value a kitchen, balcony time and wide views between adventures, Villas Alturas gives the stay a rhythm that reaches well beyond checking in and heading back out.
