Hey friends, remember when I said I wanted to “get away from it all”? Well, I found the spot. Villa Naci in Costa Rica is the kind of place where you wake up to monkeys swinging through the trees, sloths doing their thing, and ocean views that’ll make you forget your Instagram password. Let me tell you why this villa is pure magic…

First Impressions: “Is This a Postcard or Real Life?”

You know that feeling when you walk into a place and instantly feel your shoulders drop? That’s Villa Naci. Perched on a hillside in the lush Tulemar Resort, this villa is a blend of Balinese elegance and Costa Rican jungle vibes. The infinity pool seems to spill into the Pacific, and the open-air living spaces? Let’s just say I spent more time outside than in.

The Vibe

Think zen meets adventure. The Balinese decor (hello, hand-carved furniture and tropical artwork) makes it feel like a spa, while the jungle outside keeps it wild and exciting. It’s perfect for families, couples, or a group of friends who want to unplug (but still have Wi-Fi, because let’s be real).

Why You’ll Fight Over the Bedrooms

Let’s be honest: No one wants the “meh” room. But here? Every bedroom is a showstopper. My fave? The Master Suite with a king bed, Netflix (for those lazy nights), and a balcony that overlooks the ocean. The other two suites? Each has two queen beds, a kitchenette, and a private balcony. Perfect for kids, couples, or that friend who insists on their “own space.”
Pro Tip: Claim the master suite early. Waking up to jungle and ocean views is next-level.

The “I’m Never Leaving” Outdoor Spaces

The infinity pool is the star, but the outdoor living areas? Chef’s kiss.Balinese Pavilion: With a daybed for afternoon naps (or pretending to read while you nap).Al Fresco Dining: That 10-seater table is perfect for sunset dinners.Outdoor Shower: Because showering indoors is overrated when you’re surrounded by jungle.And don’t even get me started on the fire pit. S’mores under the stars? Done.

For the “But What About…?” Crew

Beach Access? A 5-minute walk to Tulemar Beach (with a beach bar, kayaks, and boogie boards).Activities? Hiking trails, monkey-spotting, and Manuel Antonio National Park is 8 minutes away.Walkable? It’s peaceful and private, but Quepos’ restaurants and shops are just 10 minutes by car.Parking? On-site and secure.
The Secret Weapon: The Concierge Team

Shoutout to Black Tomato (the luxury travel gurus who helped me book this gem) they made everything seamless. The villa’s staff is equally amazing. Daily housekeeping? Check. Groundskeeper? Check. Need a private chef or a spa treatment? They’ve got you.

Extra Services Worth Splurging On

Private Chef: Because vacation = no cooking. 

Villa Pre-Stocking: Arrive to a fridge full of snacks and wine.

Airport Transfers: Because hauling luggage after a flight is the worst.

Why This Villa? (Besides the Obvious)

For Families: Kid-friendly amenities (high chairs, cribs, and a media room for movie nights).

For Foodies: That kitchen is a DREAM. We cooked fresh seafood dinners, but you could easily hire a chef.

For Nature Lovers: Monkeys, sloths, and exotic birds are your neighbors. It’s like living in a NatGeo documentary.

Book: 3-night minimum.

Pro tip: Go in shoulder season (April-May or November) for fewer crowds.

Location: Mot Mot Hideaway 4, Quepos pin it, screenshot it, tattoo it on your flip-flop.

Final Thought

Villa Naci is the kind of place that makes you forget your email password (in the best way). Whether you’re here for the jungle, the beach, or just the vibe, it’s the kind of escape that’ll have your group texting “Remember that time in Costa Rica?” for years.

Now, who’s booking the private chef for me next time? 😉
