Prime Location:
Perched atop the serene hills of Santiago between Playa Hermosa and Manzanillo, Santiago Hills Villa offers a unique architectural experience designed by the renowned Studio Saxe. Surrounded by lush jungle with panoramic ocean views, this luxury villa blends indoor-outdoor living with peaceful seclusion — all just a short drive to Santa Teresa’s beaches, surf, and restaurants.

Each room is private and enclosed, but accessed from outside via covered walkways. Ideal for families or groups seeking a connection to nature without compromising on comfort.

Spacious open-concept living room and dining area, surrounded by natural light and ocean views. The architecture invites the jungle and sky into every corner of the home.
