Stunning Luxury Villa with Impressive Ocean Views

Welcome to Villa Serena, a private luxury retreat in the exclusive gated community of Las Olas in Dominicalito, Costa Rica. Surrounded by lush jungle and a protected nature reserve, the villa offers spectacular Pacific Ocean views stretching from La Parcela Island toward Manuel Antonio.

Completed in 2021, this front-row ocean-view home features 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, over 4,800 sq. ft. of living space, and more than 1.3 acres of tropical surroundings. Villa Serena comfortably accommodates up to 10 guests and offers 24/7 manned security.

The spacious living area features vaulted ceilings, handcrafted wood furnishings, a 72” Smart TV, high-speed fiber-optic Wi-Fi, and large glass doors that open toward the ocean and outdoor living spaces.

The fully equipped kitchen is perfect for families and groups, with a large center island, gas range, microwave, dishwasher, quartz countertops, custom cedar cabinetry, and a Guanacaste wood dining table. Sliding and accordion-style glass doors open the kitchen to the outdoors, creating a beautiful indoor-outdoor experience.

Prefer not to cook? Our concierge can assist with arranging a private chef, transportation, tours and activities, massages, and other optional services during your stay.

One of Villa Serena’s highlights is its large 42’ x 16’ infinity pool overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The covered terrace and surrounding outdoor areas offer plenty of space to relax, enjoy time with family and friends, practice yoga, or watch the sunset over the ocean.

The villa features five spacious bedrooms:

• An upstairs ocean-view King suite with a private balcony, sitting area, TV, walk-in closet, and bathroom with an ocean-view rain shower and double sinks.

• Two ocean-view King bedrooms on the main level, each with private bathrooms, TVs, double sinks, and outdoor seating areas near the pool.

• One spacious King bedroom overlooking the surrounding jungle and wildlife corridor, with an outdoor seating area and partial ocean views.

• One Queen bedroom surrounded by the tropical rainforest.

The bedrooms are spacious and comfortably furnished, and air conditioning is available throughout the home.

The surrounding jungle is part of the Villa Serena experience. Guests may spot monkeys, toucans, sloths, iguanas, and colorful tropical birds from the property.

Villa Serena is conveniently located just minutes from Dominicalito Beach, Poza Azul Waterfall, swimming holes, restaurants, and some of the South Pacific’s most beautiful beaches.

A short drive north brings you to Dominical, a popular surf town with restaurants, cafés, shops, grocery stores, and excellent surfing. Uvita is approximately 15 minutes away and offers larger supermarkets and additional services, while Ojochal is known for its excellent international dining scene.

A 4x4 vehicle is required to access the property.

To keep the property in excellent condition, garden and pool maintenance is performed on Mondays and Thursdays. Our team works efficiently to minimize any interruption to your stay.

Amazing!

We had the best stay! The property was beautiful, rooms were comfortable and spacious. We loved sitting in the pool watching the most gorgeous sunsets every night. Oscar, the concierge, went far above and beyond to make sure that everything we needed was taken care of. We simply couldn’t be happier

Family Focus and Fun

Great property for adult sibling, spouses and our matriarch to connect, relax and have some fun. 5 bedrooms and 4 baths easily accommodated 4 couples and our mother. Pool and veranda allowed us to gather as group or chill in smaller groups. Kitchen well furnished to accommodate large group. Beach and restaurants only 5 minute drive but not really walkable due to hill.

Villa Serena

Our recent stay at Villa Serena met our expectations and more. The villa is exceptional and provided the perfect place for our group. Oscar, the concierge, was extremely helpful, arranging transportation, offering suggestions for dining and sightseeing, and went out of his way to make our stay enjoyable. Clean, spacious, gorgeous views, and an amazing pool and whirlpool. The location was perfect and provided just a short drive to Dominical, Uvita, and Quepos. I would definitely recommend this luxurious property to others.
