Villa Punto de Vista

Pura Vida… Villa Punto de Vista perches high on a bluff, overlooking the sparkling blue Pacific Ocean and the idyllic sands of Manuel Antonio. The small town, named for its eponymous national park, is located on Costa Rica’s, hurricane-free, central Pacific coast, where you’ll find spectacular rainforests, ivory coastline, rushing rivers, crystalline waterfalls, and aromatic vanilla plantations.

The Premiere Manuel Antonio Villa… Villa Punto de Vista, Spanish for “Point of View,” provides unparalleled access to the wonders of Manuel Antonio. Enjoy amazing panoramic views of everything from the rainforest to the Pacific Ocean from high in the canopy. You’ve never been on a truly luxurious adventure until you partake in the ambiance of our Manuel Antonio villa.

The Perfect Location

Our location, just a short stroll to the beach — under a minute in our private beach buggy — but removed from the tourist bustle, is Manuel Antonio’s best. In fact, there is no other large, private villa in the region closer to the beach. And not just the beach: we’re only minutes to Manuel Antonio National Park, local spas, the best restaurants and top activities, like canopy ziplines, parasailing, hiking and catamaran sailing.

From your private suite, the view stretches to tiny islands that dot the curving bay. Endangered squirrel monkeys chatter in the trees, where curious sloths also laze. Parrots and Toucans share the air space. And sunsets dazzle every night, as they disappear over the horizon in a kaleidoscopic blaze. This is Manuel Antonio, as seen from the picture-perfect heights of Villa Punto de Vista.

MANUEL ANTONIO WEATHER

Manuel Antonio has some of the best weather in the world. Experience glorious sunshine, warm temperatures and comfortable evenings in one of the world’s most breathtaking locations.

The average daytime temperature in Manuel Antonio hovers between 80º and 85º F (26.5º to 29.5º C) year-round, with refreshing sea breezes. At night, temperatures fall to a cool 70º to 75º F (18º to 24º C) — the perfect climate for dining al fresco. Enjoy the ocean’s incredibly comfy temperature of 78º/80º year-round!

During Costa Rica’s High Season, late November through May, we receive very little or no rainfall and sunshine all day long. In Costa Rica’s Northern Pacific coast, this makes for dry, brown and dusty conditions. However, in Costa Rica’s lush central Pacific Coast, where our villa is located, it’s always green regardless of season.

During the Costa Rica’s transitional Green Season from May through August, you can expect beautiful sunny mornings and early afternoons allowing loads of time for activities, adventures and beach time. It will sometimes rain a bit in the afternoons during these months, but remember — it’s the rainforest, and rainfall in the rainforest is a magical thing! An additional benefit to Green Season is that the price is a bit lower.

Enjoy a Breathtaking View During Our Whale Watching Season

September and October is the Central Pacific’s Whale Watching Season, which also happens to be the rainforest’s rainiest most fertile months. This area is one of the world’s only breeding grounds for both Blue, Humpback and Pilot whales. You can see them breaching from the villa, or we can arrange a boat ride from our local marina to see them up close! These whales travel from both Alaska and Antarctica and meet in Costa Rica — 11,500 miles away — to mate and raise their young.

During Whale Watching Season, you can find some mornings to be clear for beach time and activities. Every month has a lot to offer here on Costa Rica’s central coast! As an all-weather paradise, tours and activities don’t stop for a shower in Costa Rica — in fact, they can even be more refreshing, memorable and fun!

TRAVEL TO MANUEL ANTONIO

San José’s Juan Santamaría International Airport (code: SJO) is the most convenient international airport to Manuel Antonio and Villa Punto de Vista. Manuel Antonio is located approximately 25 minutes by air and 2.5 hours by road from San José.

Upon arrival in Costa Rica, you have several options for travel to Manuel Antonio. Two of our guests’ preferred options are regional flights to nearby, or luxury van service – door-to-door private transportation from the airport to Villa Punto de Vista. Rental cars are also available but not advisable as once you are in Manuel Antonio there is no need for private transportation.

We are also happy to arrange for private charter flights or helicopter service to the local airport, with private luxury car service to escort you from the airstrip or helipad to Villa Punto de Vista.

OUTDOOR ACTIVITY OPPORTUNITIES FOR ANY TIME OF YEAR

Best of all, no matter if you travel to our Manuel Antonio villa during the high (dry) or low (green) season, you can expect to encounter a variety of fun activities and opportunities for groups of all ages. From adrenaline-heavy ziplining and whitewater rafting to relaxing catamaran sunset tours, there’s an experience perfect for each member of your group.

CHRISTIEN JOHNSON

Co-Owner & Managing Partner

For Christien, being the Managing Partner of Villa Punto de Vista is a culmination of his life’s passions and experience. From a young age, he was always intrigued by hotels and hospitality. After studying entrepreneurship and marketing at Western Carolina University in the U.S. he landed a job working for the top luxury travel company in his mother’s home country of Costa Rica where he grew up before opening Villa Punto de Vista with his family. Hospitality is in his blood!

Beyond managing the villa experience and marketing, Christien is a lover of the outdoors who enjoys the beach just as much as the mountains. If he’s not working, you’ll likely find him skiing, hiking, or spending time with his wife and four-year-old son at their home in San Jose, Costa Rica.

DAVID KONWISER

Co-Owner & Architect

After studying architecture in both the United States and Scandinavia, David felt in his heart that it was time to return to his roots in Costa Rica. When the family found the plot of land where Villa Punto de Vista now stands, he knew it was serendipity. David dreamed up the vision for the villa with large groups and families in mind, and there was nothing like it in Costa Rica. Perhaps the highlight of his career was when Christien acquired Mr. I.M. Pei, the designer of the Louvre’s famous glass pyramid, as the first overnight guest.

David lives in Los Angeles with his wife and two daughters and is an avid 80s music fan.

Stop Thinking and Just Enjoy!

How many adjectives are there for superb? Not enough characters allowed in this review to describe the experience. Ritz Carlton should take notes from this place. Truly one of the most blessed experiences I have ever had. From the time you get there until the time you leave...when you get home it won't feel like home anymore and you will wish you were back. Thank you to David and all of the wonderful people that made our +15 group have such a memorable time. Seriously...nightly food by a chef, service that knows what you want before you do, live music...

The most memorable and high-touch stay at Punta de Vista!

We just returned from the best family vacation we have ever taken at Punta de Vista. Our experience began with warm, professional and prompt responsiveness from Sabrina who helped us book the stay after answering many questions about accommodations for my elderly father and other logistics. Once booked, Gloriela began planning activities for the 12 of us from transfers from our hotel in Arenal to daily adventures including kayaking, horseback riding, hiking and dinners. She took into account the various levels of mobility and booked appropriate and fun activities for us all. Once we arrived at the villa, we were...

Magnificent property for a truly magical event

Everything was beyond perfect. Every view, room, and feature completely breathtaking. Each day was better than the next. All of our guests were in awe and jaws were dropped with every corner turned. The staff was absolutely incredible and we’ve never felt better taken care of. And most importantly, all of our friends and family remarked on it being amongst the best experiences of their lives. Many tears were shed at checkout as we were sad it had to end, but so very happy it happened.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Villa Punto de Vista compare to a resort or hotel in Costa Rica?

Well, we actually wrote a whole blog about this since we had so much to say! You can check it out here.

Is the villa a part of a company like Hilton or Marriott?

Nope. Our villa is independently owned and operated by a team of family members with close ties to the region. 

Christien Johnson and David Konweiser are the brothers who dreamed of building a villa in their mother’s home country, where they spent time growing up. And, in fact, their mother, Cecilia, was their first investor. It’s a very special place! The whole story is actually outlined above. You can check out our Architectural Digest feature to learn more about how David architected the villa, too.

What makes Villa Punto de Vista different from other hotels in Manuel Antonio?

Well, we’re not a hotel, actually! 

We’re a private resort property with two exclusive, connected villas that can be rented solo or together. Our owner and architect designed the property with groups in mind, so you can’t book one room only like you can at hotels. We are very much a group property and rent our villas as such.

We would like to say that our product offers a unique blend of resort and villa, as you get the five-star service of a resort but the privacy of a stand-alone villa.

Unlike other villas in the area, we offer a fully-staffed villa with concierge, housekeeping, and security at all times.
