Luxurious, Private Chef, Mesmerizing views, lots of WILDLIFE

Welcome to Villa Celaje, one of the most elegant Estate Villas in Manuel Antonio. Celaje means “color of the clouds after sunset” and there is not a better place to view the magical sunsets than Villa Celaje. This private Estate is positioned in an exclusive area dominating one of the highest points in Manuel Antonio. Surrounded with dramatic 360-degree views of the sweeping Pacific coastline, majestic mountain ranges and palm plantations, Villa Celaje is a lavish sanctuary of peace and privacy perched at the top of a gated community with 24-hour security and is the ideal place to indulge in a luxurious vacation. The 8-suite estate along with 9 bathrooms accommodates up to 17 guests (in beds and 20 with air mattresses) in over 13,000 square feet of luxurious villa.

This Villa is in a class of its own. Every feature of the Villa and property have been impeccably designed with the interior decorated by a famous company from the US with a “tropical contemporary” look throughout which will make you feel like royalty. Hand selected local and international artwork adorns the walls and some of the finest of materials decorate the rest. The home has also been featured in Latino magazine which is a premium architectural magazine.

There are floor to ceiling sliding glass doors that can be completely opened to let the fresh Ocean breezes in during the day or closed to enjoy the cool air-conditioning which is throughout the living space and all bedrooms along with uniquely designed and powerful ceiling fans. Every bedroom has its own terrace to see the best sunsets in the world and the mountainous backdrop of this amazingly beautiful region. A large kitchen in the center of the house serves as the perfect indoor gathering space and is equipped with granite counter tops, cabinetry from Italy and top of the line stainless steel appliances. Adjacent to the kitchen is a spacious living area and is the perfect space for rest, relaxation or watching your favorite program on the large plasma TV. There are also flat screen TV’s on all three floors.

Villa Celaje offers three floors with four bedrooms on the main floor which includes two masters with Spa tubs on the veranda, 3 elegant bedrooms on the second floor and a large bedroom apartment on the bottom level. The bottom floor also offers plenty of room to relax as it includes a second living room, outside covered bar and BBQ area where you can prepare your favorite beverages, snacks or full meals which is positioned right next to the beautiful private pool and garden area overlooking the majestic Pacific Ocean. The expansive pool area has plenty of room for sun bathing, offers great views of the ocean or even take advantage of the spa located by the pool.

Villa Celaje would not be a First Class Estate without providing your own Gourmet Chef to prepare up to 2 meals per day (food and beverage costs are separate). Nobody needs to shop, cook or clean as Chef Ronald, who has been the Chef at one of our other Villas for 13 years (and the longest tenured Chef in Manuel Antonio), loves his profession and many groups want to take him home with them after their stay! Ronald does it all and saves you money (some groups say over $1,000 for the week), as well by purchasing the freshest ingredients from local vendors - butchers and fisherman, where typically only Restaurants shop. Saturday mornings is the day that Ronald goes to our Farmers market and selects the best vegetables, fruit and high quality produce at a fraction of the cost of our local stores.

Villa Celaje is much more than a private villa: it is a first-class getaway that blends the amenities of an exclusive resort with the intimacy of a private estate and the ambiance of a five-star hotel. The result is an exclusive enclave that meets the sophistication of the world’s most discerning travelers but with very affordable pricing.

For larger groups, include our Villa Next Door, Villa Marbella, which is Homeaway # 7610352. Both Villas will sleep up to 27 guests in 12 bedrooms.
