Casa Melaza
Nosara, Provincia de Guanacaste, Costa Rica
Perched on a hillside in Playa Pelada, Casa Melaza sits up in the treetops with an infinity pool that seems to spill into the jungle canopy. The bedrooms and yoga deck look out over the trees with glimpses of the ocean beyond, a steady breeze keeps things cool, and howler monkeys pass through daily. Four bedrooms, 4.5 baths and a private casita with its own entrance sleep up to 9, just minutes from Playa Pelada and Guiones.
Good to know
The heart of the villa is the infinity pool, edged by a covered terrace with lounge seating and framed by jungle on every side. Upstairs, the top deck has a pergola and views across the canopy with a glimpse of the ocean, and the balconies have a daybed and a hanging swing bed for slow afternoons. Inside, the living room opens through floor-to-ceiling windows to the pool. The chef's kitchen has arched windows, a stone island, open shelving and an espresso machine, with a dining table for the whole group. Bedrooms: two with king beds, one with a queen and one with two single beds. Bathrooms are each one of a kind, including a green-tiled shower that looks out to the trees and a stone soaking tub open to the breeze. There's also a private office for remote work, air conditioning and a washer and dryer.
Other Details to Note
The villa is reached by a rough dirt road, so we recommend renting an ATV, UTV, golf cart, e-bike or car (Todo Nosara can deliver one to the house), or using local tuk tuks. You're living in the jungle here: expect howler monkeys at dawn, birds, geckos and the occasional insect. It's all part of the magic.

Neighborhood
Perched on a hillside in Playa Pelada, the villa sits up in the treetops near the well-known Lagarta Lodge. Being up high means you catch the breeze, which makes a real difference in the Costa Rica heat. From the top deck you look out over the jungle canopy, with a peek of the ocean in the distance. Wildlife is part of daily life here: howler monkeys moving through the trees, birds at sunrise, and plenty of other jungle neighbors. Despite the secluded, natural setting, you're close to the beaches of Playa Pelada and Playa Guiones and to Nosara's restaurants, cafes, yoga studios and surf breaks.
Guest Access
You'll have the entire villa to yourselves: the house, private guest house, infinity pool, terraces and top deck are all for your group only. Our concierge partner, Todo Nosara, can arrange vehicle rentals, private chefs, grocery stocking, surf lessons, massages and more before or during your stay.

Nosara, Provincia de Guanacaste, Costa Rica
The villa is reached by a rough dirt road, as are many homes in Nosara. To get around, we recommend having your own wheels: an ATV, UTV, golf cart, e-bike or car. Our concierge partner, Todo Nosara, handles all vehicle rentals and delivers them right to the villa, along with any other services you need during your stay. If you'd rather not drive, tuk tuks are easy to find and can pick you up at the house for trips to the beach, restaurants and town.
