Welcome to River Villa

Before You Arrive

Reaching White Noise is part of the experience: a gradual transition from the everyday into the rhythm of the jungle.

River Villa is located in San Antonio de Damas, near Quepos and Manuel Antonio, within our private rainforest sanctuary along the Río Damitas.

The final portion of your journey takes you along a scenic rural road surrounded by tropical vegetation. We recommend arriving before sunset whenever possible so you can navigate the final stretch comfortably and begin enjoying your surroundings in daylight.

Detailed directions and arrival instructions will be provided before your stay. If you need assistance along the way, we’re just a message away.

Our Story

White Noise is our family owned and operated passion project and forever home — created by founders Jenn and Danny George out of a deep love for Costa Rica’s wild beauty. What began as a private sanctuary has grown into a secluded, adults-only wellness retreat where couples and travelers from around the world come to escape, reconnect, and immerse themselves in nature.

Each home was built with a deep respect for the land and a desire to create spaces that feel both private and personal. We’re delighted to share these treasured homes with guests seeking to experience the Costa Rican lifestyle we’ve come to love. At White Noise, you’ll find nature-immersive healing experiences wrapped in a touch of understated luxury. Our homes blend refined comfort with the sights and sounds of the jungle, inviting you to recharge and discover your own little slice of heaven in Costa Rica.

What started as a small idea — a vision to create something meaningful where nature, comfort, and connection could coexist — has grown into a living, breathing experience shaped by the land, the river, and every guest who joins us along the way.

From our family to you, thank you for choosing to stay with us. As we continue to grow, we remain endlessly grateful for the guests who have believed in this journey — those who’ve shared their stories, supported our vision, and helped White Noise become what it is today: a nature retreat built on sincerity, integrity, and heart.

Welcome to Your Private Riverfront Sanctuary

River Villa was designed for two adults seeking a more refined way to experience the Costa Rican jungle.

Contemporary architecture meets handcrafted stone, expansive glass, warm natural materials, and a collection of intimate outdoor spaces. The Río Damitas runs alongside the property, while two ponds and a freshwater creek contribute to the surrounding water landscape.

Here, the experience is not limited to the interior of the home. The villa’s private spaces unfold throughout the landscape, inviting you to move between swimming, soaking, lounging, dining, and quiet moments surrounded by greenery.

River Villa’s Private Spaces

River Villa was designed as a collection of intimate spaces, each offering a different way to relax, reconnect, and experience the surrounding jungle. From handcrafted soaking tubs to quiet corners beside the river, your private grounds invite you to slow down and enjoy the natural beauty around you.

INDOOR STONE SOAKING TUB

The bathroom features a handcrafted stone-concrete soaking tub positioned beside floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the garden. Surrounded by natural textures and greenery, this sheltered bathing experience brings the outdoors into your private sanctuary.

---

PONDSIDE SOAKING TUB

Tucked beside one of River Villa’s ponds, your outdoor soaking tub offers a more open-air bathing experience surrounded by tropical vegetation and the quiet movement of the water.

This secluded corner is designed for slowing down, enjoying the fresh air, and taking in the natural details that make River Villa unique.

---

RIVERFRONT FIRE TUB

One of River Villa’s most distinctive features is its riverfront fire tub, positioned directly beside the Río Damitas. This open-air soaking experience brings you close to the flowing river, surrounded by the sights and sounds of the rainforest.

With hot water available for your soak, the riverfront setting offers a memorable way to unwind as the day transitions into evening.

We hope this becomes one of the most memorable experiences of your River Villa stay.

---

PRIVATE POOL & POOL DECK

Your private swimming pool is the heart of River Villa’s outdoor living space. Cool off in the water, stretch out on the in-water concrete lounge chairs, or settle into the shaded daybed for a quiet afternoon surrounded by tropical greenery.

The pool area connects the villa’s indoor comfort with its outdoor spaces, creating an inviting place to spend a slow morning or unwind after a day of exploring Costa Rica.

---

RIVERFRONT & GARDEN SEATING AREAS

River Villa’s outdoor spaces are thoughtfully arranged throughout the landscape, offering several intimate places to sit, read, rest, or simply listen to the rainforest and river.

Enjoy the riverfront infinity hammock, the Tulum-style river hammock, or the riverfront daybed. The outdoor dining area provides another place to enjoy a meal surrounded by the natural beauty of the property.

The vegetation and distinct seating areas create a sense of discovery as you move through your private grounds.

---

RIVERFRONT FIRE PIT & OUTDOOR FIRE FEATURES

River Villa offers several places to enjoy an evening outdoors, including a riverfront fire pit with seating and a poolside fire pit.

Each setting offers a different atmosphere, whether you prefer sitting beside the river, gathering near the pool, or finding a quieter corner surrounded by vegetation.

---

OUTDOOR KITCHEN & RIVERSIDE HIBACHI-STYLE GRILL

River Villa’s outdoor dining area and hibachi-style riverside barbecue invite you to enjoy meals in the open air, surrounded by the sights and sounds of the jungle and river.

Whether you’re preparing a relaxed lunch or planning an evening meal beside the river, this space offers another way to enjoy your private surroundings without needing to leave the villa.

---

HEATED OUTDOOR SHOWER

After a swim or a day exploring the rainforest, the outdoor shower offers a refreshing way to rinse off while enjoying the surrounding greenery.

---

Property Guide

Exploring the Property’s Hiking Trails

Our main hiking trail starts at the very bottom of the main entrance driveway. Follow the road down to the river, cross the bridge, and you’ll find yourself on the main trail.

The hike to the top of the mountain takes about 15 to 20 minutes and rewards you with beautiful views, a trampoline, and a fire pit at the summit. Sometimes, squirrel monkeys can be spotte along the trail around 4pm—keep your eyes peeled for these playful visitors! During the dry season, we also maintain two additional trails for those looking to explore even more. If you’re interested in these extra paths, please ask your host for details and current trail conditions.

SUNSET FIRE PITS

The top of the mountain is perfect for sunset views, offering 360 degrees of uninterrupted vistas over the jungle and out to the ocean—including Manuel Antonio and Parrita’s beaches. It’s a breathtaking spot to watch the sky change colors as the day ends.

MAIN RIVER ENTRY

The main river entry is found at the bottom of the entrance driveway, offering a refreshing spot for all guests to enjoy. This area is clothing optional, so you can relax and connect with nature in the way that feels best for you.

Enjoy the ever-changing river and the freedom to unwind White Noise.

What to Expect

Staying at White Noise is intentionally different from a traditional hotel experience.

You are immersed in nature — which means:

• You will hear the jungle (this is the magic)
• You’ll see wildlife nearby
• The environment is open, alive, and ever-changing

This is not a controlled or artificial setting, but rather an authentic experience of Costa Rica’s natural beauty.

We find that guests who embrace this fully have the most meaningful and memorable stays.

Staying Connected (or Not)

While we do offer Wi-Fi, White Noise is an opportunity to disconnect from the fast pace of everyday life and reconnect with yourself, nature, and those around you.

Whether you choose to stay connected or fully unplug, the space is designed to support both — giving you the flexibility to create the experience you need.

Need Anything?

We are here to ensure your stay is effortless and enjoyable from start to finish.

If you have any questions before or during your stay — whether it’s about the property, local recommendations, or special experiences — please don’t hesitate to reach out.

We’re always happy to help make your time at White Noise as seamless and memorable as possible.

House Guidelines

White Noise is designed as a space to slow down, reconnect, and fully immerse yourself in the natural environment.

When The Lights Go Out: In Harmony with Nature

As part of our natural, jungle immersed setting, occasional regional power outages may occur. For your comfort, emergency lights are provided in the Butterfly Bungalow, located in the cupboard in front of the barstools, in the case the lights are out after dark.

If an outage is limited to a nearby area, service is typically restored within approximately 15 to 30 minutes. When affecting our immediate or surrounding communities, outages may last for around 3 hours. In the case of more widespread interruptions requiring extensive repairs, restoration times may be longer.

Here, these moments are gently embraced as part of the local rhythm – much like the Pura Vida way of life. We invite you to slow down, unwind, and enjoy the stillness of the space, accompanied by the rich, ambient sounds of the jungle.

Elevate Your Eco Retreat

While White Noise offers a peaceful and private escape from the city, some of Costa Rica’s most iconic destinations are just a short drive away.

Perfectly located between nature and convenience, you’ll have access to adventure, wildlife, beaches, and vibrant local culture — all within reach.

Manuel Antonio National Park

Located just 40 minutes away, Manuel Antonio National Park is one of Costa Rica’s most popular and bio-diverse parks, known for its lush rainforest trails, white-sand beaches, and abundant wildlife.

Guests can explore scenic hiking paths, spot monkeys, sloths, and tropical birds, and enjoy some of the most beautiful coastal views in the country.

Beaches & Ocean Experiences

From calm, swimmable waters to scenic coastal views, the nearby beaches of Manuel Antonio and Quepos offer something for everyone.

Spend your day relaxing on the sand, exploring hidden coves, or enjoying ocean-based activities such as catamaran tours, fishing, or sunset sails.

Manuel Antonio Beaches

ESPADILLA BEACH – Directly adjoining Manuel Antonio National Park’s main beach, this hidden cove offers the same stunning scenery with a lively mix of activities, local vendors, and fresh food right on the sand.

PLAYA BIESANZ – Just north of here you’ll find a beautiful little beach tucked into a calm cove. The waters are gentler than many nearby spots, and although it requires a short hike down, it’s worth the effort. Once you arrive you’ll find lounge chairs available and a few vendor services.

Host tip: This beach is best enjoyed at low tide — during high tide the experience isn’t as pleasant — so we recommend checking the tide report before you go.

PLAYA PLAYITAS – At the very end of Manuel Antonio’s cove lies a hidden local beach that can only be reached with a 4-wheel-drive vehicle. This stretch of sand is completely free of vendors and has a laid-back, local vibe — people simply park right on the beach and head in for a swim.

Insider tip: At the far north end of the beach, when the tide is low, stunning rock formations emerge and create little tide pools that are perfect for strolling around and exploring.

Parrita Beaches

PLAYA PALO SECO – Located in the Parrita canton, this incredible virgin beach is tucked away among Parrita’s natural wonders. Its sand shifts from slightly darker at the edges to lighter in the center, and it’s surrounded by lush tropical vegetation. Most days you’ll find this long, beautiful stretch almost empty — perfect for peaceful beach walks, versus swimming due to its rougher tides.

Host tip: We love stopping at Bar y Restaurante Mar y Sol around 4 p.m. for a casual bite or drink before heading out to stroll the beach at sunset.

Adventure & Nature

For those looking to explore beyond the beach, the surrounding area offers a wide range of outdoor experiences.

From waterfall hikes and jungle trails to immersive nature experiences, the region offers a rich escape for those seeking connection, exploration, and discovery.

Nauyaca Waterfall

About 1.5 hours from here, the stunning Nauyaca Waterfall Nature Park is worth the journey. Nestled in lush rainforest, this private park features well-kept trails, dense canopy, and cascading waterfalls with pristine natural pools—perfect for a refreshing dip.

Key Details & Tips:

• Opening Hours: Park and ticket office operate daily from 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM, weather permitting.
• Ticket Sales: Available until 2:30 PM—after that, no more entry is allowed.
• Access Options: Choose between a scenic 2.7 km hike or a convenient one-way trolley ride (either round-trip or with a hike down and ride back).

What to Bring:

• Plenty of water and a light snack
• Swimsuit, sturdy shoes, insect repellent, towel, and sunscreen

Host Tip: Arrive early, explore and cool off in the waterfalls before heading to our absolute favorite beach, Playa Perfecto, especially magical during low tide.

Dinner Suggestion: Afterwards, dine oceanside at La Parcela, located on the Cove by Dominical—great views from any seat, and you might even spot the white-faced monkeys visiting in the evening. Reservations are recommended, especially during the dry season.

Rainmaker Conservation Park

Just minutes from our retreat, Rainmaker Conservation Park is a lush rainforest reserve that many visitors miss. With hanging bridges, jungle trails, small waterfalls, and crystal-clear swimming holes, it’s the perfect balance of adventure and serenity. Unlike busy Manuel Antonio, Rainmaker often feels like your own private jungle—you may even find yourself swimming alone beneath a waterfall. The park is known for its conservation roots, abundant wildlife, and peaceful beauty.

Visitor Info: Open daily 7:30 AM–6:00 PM. Entry about $20. Trails are easy to moderate with some stairs and can be slippery in the rainy season. Bring sturdy shoes, water, bug spray, and a swimsuit.

Host Tip: Our favorite way to enjoy Rainmaker is to cool off in the waterfall pools after crossing the canopy bridges—a magical reset in nature.

Our Community – San Antonio de Damas

Our tiny mountain town consists of about 100 people is surrounded by jungle-covered slopes, rivers that whisper through the valley, and views that stretch all the way to the coast.

Life here is simple and deeply rooted in tradition. Families have lived on this land for generations, raising children who play on the soccer field by the church, and sending them to the small school that serves the community. Historically, it was the women of this area who grew food to help feed the nation during a time of need—a legacy of strength and resilience that still lives on today.

Discover the nature a skip away from your door step.

Parking in Downtown Quepos

Please note that Downtown Quepos now has a metered parking system in many areas. If you park in a numbered parking space, payment is required to avoid receiving a parking ticket. The system does not use traditional parking meters or pay stations.

Instead, parking is paid digitally through the Epark mobile app, which is used throughout the downtown metered parking zones. The Municipality of Quepos implemented this system in 2026, and fines may be issued for unpaid parking.

Helpful Tip: Not all parking spaces in Quepos are metered. Many legal street parking areas on public roads remain available and are not marked with numbered spaces. If a space is not part of the metered parking system, payment is generally not required.

As always, please observe all posted parking signs and restrictions, as regulations may vary by location.

Meet Your Animal Friends at White Noise

One of the joys of staying at White Noise is sharing the sanctuary with some of our beloved four-legged residents. While they aren’t permitted inside the homes, you’ll likely meet them during your stay.

Bigotes (“Buddy”)

Our unofficial welcome committee and a guest favorite. Bigotes (pronounced Bee-Goat-A’s) loves meeting new people and may greet you with a soft bark to say hello. He enjoys attention, gentle pets, and making new friends. If you’re willing to offer a few scratches behind the ears, you’ll likely have a loyal companion for part of your visit.

Robbie (“Potato”)

Sweet, gentle, and full of love. Robbie can be a little shy when meeting new people and may take some time to warm up. Once she feels comfortable, she’s incredibly affectionate and enjoys calm attention and soft pets.

McGreggor (“Little Devil”)

The name says it all. McGreggor (named after Conner McGreggor) is equal parts charming, mischievous, and photogenic. He’s an accomplished hunter and can often be spotted stalking lizards, frogs, and other jungle critters. While undeniably handsome, he is also known for his dramatic side and may serenade you with endless complaints and cries if he thinks he’s missing out on something.

As adorable as he may be, please do not allow McGreggor inside the house. Once invited in, he tends to believe he owns the place and wreak havoc.

A Friendly Reminder About Visiting Animals

While our resident animals love meeting guests, they are not permitted inside the homes.

Cats have sharp claws, dogs bring muddy paws, and even the most well-behaved animal can accidentally damage furnishings, linens, screens, or décor. To help us keep the homes in excellent condition for all guests, please do not invite or allow any animals inside the accommodations.

Guests may be held responsible for damage caused by animals brought into the home, including cleaning, repair, or replacement costs when necessary.

Thank you for helping us protect both our homes and our furry residents.
