Welcome to Bali House, where the rain forest meets the beach in beautiful Manuel Antonio! As the ONLY luxury rental property truly on Playa Espadilla (the main beach in Manuel Antonio) the Bali House is a 5 bedroom 7 bath Balinese Villa nestled into the rain forest just steps away from the ocean. This exotic tropical villa is on a 44-acre private rainforest preserve bordering one of the most beautiful beaches in Costa Rica. Our location is perfect for guests who love the beach and want to maximize their beach time. The 44 acre rainforest preserve has several paths, streams, wildlife and an organic garden. Most rental homes in Manuel Antonio are perched high in the hills and their guests must drive or walk down steep hills to reach public beach access areas. At the Bali House, you are at the beach. You simply walk down our garden path and you are at the private section of the beach in 1 minute! Come and enjoy our exotic hideaway in the most desirable location that Manuel Antonio has to offer - in the rain forest, yet on the beach.

Our onsite concierge and staff live in the other two homes nearby on the property but out of sight.

About The Bali House: The Bali House was designed by Balinese architect Ketut Arthana. Arthana is internationally recognized for his insightful work in designing luxury residences, tropical resorts and spas throughout Asia, Hawaii, North America and Europe including the elegant Puri Woolandari hotel in Bali, one of the Small Leading Hotels of the World. The villa was initially designed and framed in Bali from Indonesian ironwood. It was disassembled and shipped to Costa Rica along with all the furnishings and finishes and it was carefully reconstructed by a team of Balinese craftsmen.

Villa Staff: The Bali House is staffed by a manager/concierge, housekeeping, gardener, daily pool service, and maintenance staff. Your Concierge will be happy to arrange transportation from the International Airport to the house, reserve tours, hire a private chef, a masseuse, or anything else you need during your stay.

    We had a wonderful stay here. It could not have been any better. Maria was amazing. The quite of the seclusion but quick and easy access to the beach is perfect here. Our group is already looking at dates for 2027.

    Bali House is the most incredible property. Our family will continue to hold it up as one of the most special times of our lives. The house, pool, jungle, beach access and of course...the occasional visits by the monkeys delighted us all. Fernando, Maria and staff were very attentive.

    The property is fantastic. You are in the rain forest and on the beach at the same time.

    We have rented homes/apartments in Europe and the Caribbean but we all agreed that the Bali House was the most outstanding. We took advantage and had breakfast prepared daily; we also had dinner served at the house several times.The hosts arranged our transportation to and from San Jose, as well as the outstanding tours.All in all, an amazing time for our yearly family reunion.

    The Bali House was absolutely perfect for our first visit to Costa Rico. Maria gave special attention to all details arranging the best excursions for all ages. She also served as our chef for the week and every meal was delicious.The grands wanted her to come home with us! The view from the house was stunning and the short walk to the beach was truly a nature adventure. From monkeys to frogs, parrots to sloths…..all were fun to see. Costa Rico and the Bali House provided cherished memories for our family of 10.

    I can’t say enough positive things about our stay at the Bali House. Maria was very responsive to all my questions and with helping with setting up excursions and our itinerary. Maria is also an amazing cook and provided our meals for most of the stay. Fernando was great with helping us check in and showing us around the property, even showing us a trail on the property that leads to a waterfall. The daily monkey visits was a highlight for the kids. The beach was great, and there was a good surf break right down the beach. our three kids enjoyed daily surf lessons 100 yards down the beach with an amazing outfit “Surfers on the Coast” ask for Ronny our kids had an amazing time and stayed till dark every day. They provided surf boards for the kids and lounge chairs and umbrellas for the adults. I can’t recommend this property and the staff enough! Pura Vida.

    The home and grounds are gorgeous and well manicured! The pool is beautiful. The house clean. A short path leads to one of the most beautiful beaches in the world!Located in the center of Manuel Antonio. Just down the road is the National Park, and many wonderful restaurants. A short walk down the beach takes you to several nice beach bars and restaurants. The howler monkeys and macaws awaken you every morning. As many as 31 different birds were identified on our Merlin App. A family of delightfully curious and friendly Capuchin Monkeys (moms, and dads and children and babies) visit the house and pool 2-3 times a day and join you on the beach too! By the end of our stay we knew them all by name :) On the path to the beach there were 2 toed and 3 toed sloths in trees and even mothers with their babies everyday!We had the pleasure of meeting John the owner while there. He was very helpful in answering all our questions prior to booking. When we arrived Fernando who lives on the property met us to get us settled in. He checked in frequently to make sure everything was ok. Brian maintained the pool and grounds and was excellent. Cleaning staff was top notch. Maria, the concierge was amazing! She booked outings, transportation, restaurants and parties. Did the shopping and cooked dinner for us numerous times…yummy! Her meals are not to be missed! At our beck and call the entire time! She is the best! Thank you for making our trip the best ever!!!!!

    We loved the layout, an indoor and outdoor central space for everyone to hangout and open concept. Beautiful lighting, comfortable seating and something for everyone. Everyone had their own rooms and washrooms and spacious rooms to enjoy quiet and privacy.

    Our family of 10 (grandparents, parents, and 4 children (10-16) had a fabulous time over Christmas week at The Bali House! The house was BEAUTIFUL, and the setting was amazing. The attentive staff & owner all went over and above what we have ever experienced in other VRBO’s that we have rented. And then there was our concierge, Maria - I don’t even know where to start! There aren’t enough adjectives to describe how wonderful she is to help you out in every way possible - arranged excursions, photographer, answered our questions, provided/arranged transportation, cooked for us 4 times during our stay which was a special treat and her food is delicious! I could go on and on about the extra services she provided! The remainder of the staff kept the house, grounds & pool area immaculate during our stay. The Bali House is 10 STARS! Thank you !!!!

    This was our 2nd time at the Bali house and it was a absolutely amazing again. Our family & friends had the best time. We love the location of the house right on the beach…easy to walk the beach for all kinds of excursions from parasailing, surfing, jet skiing etc. BIG SHOUT OUT to Maria the house concierge she is absolutely awesome!!! She was so helpful and made everything easy for us. She booked all of our excursions, groceries, dinner reservations and arranged all of our airport shuttles and to top it off has the best personality. We also had Maria as our chef for 2 nights and 1 breakfast. Was the best decision and the yummiest of food:) Thank you Fernando and Maria for making us feel at home at the Bali house. Can’t wait to come back! Pura vida ❤️ Parsons Family & Jeff
