Private Riverfront Villa in Costa Rica — luxury Jungle REtreat Escape

A Bold New Standard for Jungle Luxury in Costa Rica

Set directly on the banks of the Río Damitas, River Villa is our most ambitious home yet — a one-of-a-kind adults-only sanctuary designed for couples who crave both intimacy and indulgence. Built entirely of sleek concrete and wrapped in floor-to-ceiling glass, the villa is flooded with natural light and uninterrupted jungle views, blurring the line between indoor comfort and the wild beauty outside.

Inspired Architecture, Indulgent Design

Inside, a spacious open-plan living room and chef’s kitchen flow seamlessly to a king suite where a sculptural soaking tub sits just steps from the bed. Every detail is designed for ease and sensuality: minimalist furnishings, organic textures, and panoramic sightlines that invite the rainforest in.

Outdoor Spaces Made for Connection

Step outside to your private playground. A hot tub set directly on the river lets you soak in nature’s soundtrack while a large swimming pool, plush daybeds, and multiple fire pits create endless options for relaxation. Watch the sun slip behind the mountains, dine al fresco under the stars, or curl up by the fire to the rhythm of the jungle.

A Sanctuary for Renewal

River Villa is more than a vacation home — it’s a curated experience. Wake to birdsong and butterflies, practice yoga on the deck, wander to the river’s natural pools, or simply let time slow down as you and your partner reconnect. Here, bold design, refined comfort, and Costa Rica’s untamed beauty come together to create a retreat you’ll never forget.

Adults Only

Our sanctuary is thoughtfully designed for adults seeking rest, reconnection, and tranquility. We welcome guests 21 years and older.

A Small Boutique Nature Sanctuary

White Noise Butterfly Sanctuary & River Retreat is a small, boutique eco-retreat set within 50 acres of private jungle sanctuary, reserved exclusively for White Noise and its guests. The retreat includes four private residences thoughtfully positioned on a three-acre riverside parcel, surrounded by lush vegetation and the natural beauty of the Río Damitas.

Each home offers its own private spaces and amenities, allowing guests to relax and unwind in comfort. While the residences are carefully placed to provide personal space, the sanctuary itself is a shared natural environment. Guests may occasionally see or hear others enjoying the property, particularly along the river and jungle trails, which are communal areas designed to connect guests with the surrounding landscape.

Your hosts live quietly on the property and are available should you need assistance, local recommendations, or support during your stay. While we always respect our guests’ privacy, being nearby allows us to ensure the sanctuary remains safe, beautifully maintained, and that any needs can be addressed quickly.

White Noise is designed to offer a thoughtful balance between private retreat and shared connection with nature. Guests enjoy their own dedicated spaces while experiencing the beauty of the land alongside a small number of fellow travelers who share the sanctuary respectfully.

Eco-Conscious Systems

Like many environmentally conscious properties in Costa Rica, our home operates on a sensitive septic system designed to protect the surrounding ecosystem. For this reason, toilet paper and hygiene products are placed in the bathroom bin provided rather than flushed.

Guests who enjoy eco-luxury accommodations and nature-immersed stays typically find this to be a simple and meaningful part of traveling responsibly within Costa Rica’s natural environments.

As a rural, nature-immersed property in Costa Rica, White Noise offers an authentic jungle experience that may not suit every traveler. Especially during the green season, heavy rains or electrical storms can occasionally lead to regional power outages or brief access delays — all part of the living rhythm of this extraordinary landscape.

Our Location

White Noise is located approximately 3–4 miles (10–12 minutes) from the main coastal highway, Route 34. The final stretch is a scenic rural, compacted dirt road road that gently leads you into the rainforest along the Damitas River. The road is accessible and suitable for standard vehiclesand meaningful part of the charm of being gently removed from the ordinary.

Our retreat sits within the small rural community of Damas, a peaceful small village of local families who have lived in the area for generations. The community includes a small school, church, and local soccer field, and is known for its strong sense of culture and connection.

From time to time, guests may hear community life such as children playing, farm equipment, or occasional cultural celebrations. These moments are part of the authentic rhythm of life in rural Costa Rica and contribute to the warm, welcoming character of the area. Overall, the region is known for being one of the most peaceful and safe areas in the country.

A True Nature-Immersed Experience

White Noise was created for guests seeking a deep connection with nature. Our homes are surrounded by lush tropical landscape, rivers, ponds, butterflies, birds, ducks, and abundant wildlife.

Because we intentionally protect the natural ecosystem and avoid the use of harsh chemicals or pesticides, guests may occasionally encounter insects, frogs, geckos, lizards, or other small creatures common to the Costa Rican jungle. These sightings are a normal and beautiful part of the environment and are not an indication of cleanliness.

Our homes are thoroughly cleaned, without the use of harsh cleaning agents and prepared before every arrival. However, they are not sealed hotel towers — they are thoughtfully designed spaces that exist within the surrounding rainforest.

Guests who enjoy the sounds of the jungle, the presence of wildlife, and an eco-luxury retreat setting often find this experience incredibly special. Those seeking a fully sealed, urban hotel environment may prefer accommodations better suited to that style of stay.

Guest Alignment

As a rural, nature-immersed property in Costa Rica, White Noise offers an authentic jungle experience that may not suit every traveler. Especially during the green season, heavy rains or electrical storms can occasionally lead to regional power outages or brief access delays — all part of the living rhythm of this extraordinary landscape.

The home is reached by a compacted dirt road, accessible by car, motorcycle, or scooter — a small and meaningful part of the charm of being gently removed from the ordinary.

If any of these elements feel misaligned with your travel style or expectations, we kindly encourage you to reconsider booking. Our deepest wish is that every guest’s experience at White Noise feels effortless, harmonious, and truly aligned.

Staying here is not like staying in a hotel.
It is an invitation into a deeply personal space — built by our own hands, cared for with intention, and shared with guests who value sincerity, peace, and respect for nature.

We ask that you treat this home as you would your own — or even more tenderly, as the home of someone you love.
Each stay helps continue our story and supports our ongoing care for the land, the local community, and the experience itself.

We are honored to offer a rare blend of understated luxury immersed in nature — private, intentional, and genuinely one of a kind.
With this privilege comes a shared responsibility to preserve the beauty that make this place so special.

White Noise embraces comfort and body positivity. Nudity is welcome in private spaces and the river, with discretion and respect kindly observed.

Guest Journey

To keep each arrival smooth and every stay protected, our booking journey includes a few simple steps: all reservations require a valid ID upload, a signed rental agreement within 24 hours of booking, and a fully refundable security deposit, released after checkout once the home has been thoughtfully reviewed.

These gentle safeguards help ensure a seamless, meaningful, and unforgettable experience — for you, for us, and future guests.

We look forward to welcoming you to this beloved corner of Costa Rica, where nature, comfort, and connection come together at White Noise.

Please note that guest check-ins are not available on Sundays or the following dates each year, in honor of family time: April 20, Thanksgiving Day, December 18, and December 25.
White Noise is also closed annually for the month of September.

Your peace of mind matters to us.
For a worry-free journey, we gently recommend travel insurance to protect your plans from unexpected changes — a simple way to keep your Costa Rican escape truly Pura Vida.
