And the Oscar goes to……Villa Roca! An extraordinary, new, custom-designed home that sweeps every Oscar category!
Set Location – Perched on over an acre in the most desirable gated community of Ojochal with one of most breathtaking mountain-to-ocean views on the coast, Villa Roca demands to be seen in person on the big screen. You’ll be struck by how the 1,000 sq ft of wrap-around covered terrace and each room capture their own magnificent frame of the view. Surrounded by hundreds of acres of green space, jungle, and protected river reserve, yet just 10 minutes from some of Costa Rica’s best restaurants and beaches, Villa Roca’s setting provides serenity and safety with a Pura Vida experience minus the crowds.
Production Design -- A wall of river rock, high laurel wood ceilings, an 8-foot single slab island, colorful paint accents, rich textiles, playful artwork, locally hand-painted washbasins, and custom-built furniture/cabinets/closets radiate warmth and character. The seamless blend of traditional Costa Rican design with contemporary international style creates a joyful spirit that permeates every room.
Visual Effects – The brilliant mountain sunrises may only be surpassed by the vibrant curtain-call sunsets that reflect off the ocean onto the foothills. You can enjoy this technicolor display all day while in the pool and outdoor shower, at the patio dining and bar, or from perfectly positioned sitting areas. Special mention goes to the dimmer switches placed in every room for mood lighting, a rarity in Costa Rica.
Original Score -- Howler monkeys, exotic bird calls, cooling sea breezes, flowing rivers, and distant thunderheads provide the winning soundtrack to this natural theater.
Supporting Cast – A carved toucan, a stone tapir, a statuesque macaw, and the namesake primordial rock never disappoint with their starring performances. And they will never say no to a photo.
Lead Actors – You’ll lead your own script at Villa Roca. Will it be romcom, action, documentary, or a combination? Romantic dinners, private chefs, surfing, snorkeling, golf, guided birding, horseback riding, in-house massages, and meditative yoga on the terrace can be easily booked into your screenplay with the help of your private concierge.
Like any unforgettable film, a part of Villa Roca will stick with you forever. The owners have incorporated 40 years of world travel experience into creating the perfect balance of everything one could want in a vacation home. This is truly a one-of-a-kind magical oasis that will entice you to return again and again.
