You just found your spot in Costa Rica.

Welcome to Altaar, an adults-only resort, nestled on the highest peak of Manuel Antonio.

One of the few properties that boasts panoramic 360° views—an uninterrupted view of Costa Rica, mountain to coastline.

Designed for Stillness. Built for Adventure.

Nestled beside Manuel Antonio National Park, our retreat weaves intentional design with Costa Rica’s vibrant landscape.

Roam four acres of jungle trails, walk among native fruit trees, and reconnect with nature in spaces designed for exploration, reflection, and play.

From mountaintop yoga to sunset pickleball, ALTAAR invites you to experience Pura Vida — your way.

Pura Vida

At Altaar, we want the quiet, solitary moments to be just as valuable as the shared moments. Blending modern elegance with the organic richness of the land, every detail has been curated with care and intention, fostering a deep connection with the landscape and with one another. The calls of Titi monkeys and the soft rustle of scarlet macaws flying overhead are the soundtrack to your stay.

Manuel Antonio

Whether you’re discovering a new corner of the mountain, taking in the incredible ocean views, or simply losing yourself in the sounds of the forest below, we want you to feel like you’ve found your spot—a place where you’ll want to return again and again-- right here in our neighborhood. From sunrise to sunset, experience uninterrupted views from the highest point in Manuel Antonio.

The Property

Each individual home within the secure, gated property boasts air conditioning throughout, a private wading pool with ocean views and abundant indoor/outdoor living space.

Complete with yoga studio, pickleball court and various other community spaces, Altaar is a sanctuary you’ll be hesitant to leave.  You’ll find yourself saying, “Or maybe we could just stay here today…”

A Message from the Hosts

  • As a native Costa Rican, it’s an honor to share my home and culture with you. Hospitality is at the heart of everything we do at ALTAAR. I look forward to introducing you to the richness of Costa Rica’s land, traditions, and warm spirit. This country is my home, and during your stay, I hope it will feel like yours too.

  • As a former creative, I’ve poured my passion for design into every detail of ALTAAR. From the layout of the casitas to the thoughtful integration of natural elements, I wanted to create a space where modern elegance honors the beauty of Costa Rica’s landscape. Every corner reflects intentional design — a place for you to relax, reflect, and feel truly at home.

Stay with us and experience 'Pura Vida' at its finest.
