For added peace of mind, our on-site caretaker lives on the property and looks after daily maintenance. Two friendly dogs also live here, providing extra security while respecting your privacy.

A dedicated property assistant and local team are also available, ensuring support is always just a quick message or call away. To make your trip seamless, we also offer concierge services to help arrange airport transfers, private chefs, surf lessons, tours, and more.
Villa Enlightened is located just across the main road from Bodhi Tree Yoga Resort and up the private drive.
You can easily walk to Bodhi Tree gym and property for yoga, pilates, breathwork and other classes. We are also just a short walk to Organico Market that has everything you need and Café de Paris that has a delightful bakery. There is a magical walking path that brings you to Café de Paris or down into town close to the beach. The beach walk is 15 minutes but we recommend renting quads to get around easily to all beaches with your surfboards.

I hosted a retreat at Villa Enlightened and it was absolutely perfect! The view was incredible and every morning I just felt so grateful looking out at the ocean. I felt very safe and comfortable. The house allows for privacy but within 10-15 min you can walk to town or the beach. The studio was incredible and I just felt so lucky to get to teach classes up there every day. 10/10 would return to Villa Enlightened. The host was very responsive and helpful when booking so if you have any questions or concerns, definitely reach out. I loved it, wish I spent a month here. Oh and the shampoo, conditioner, body wash, bug repellent lotion, etc were all the best products I have ever used! I need to find and order those for my own home!

We stayed at Villa Enlightened for 1 week in December 2023 for a family celebration. We had 13 people, grandparents in their 70s, parents in their 40s/50s, and 7 kids aged 7 to 20. We had an absolutely amazing trip to Nosara in no small part due to the amazing home of Villa Enlightened. It was the perfect home base and permanent hang-out for all ages. It is exactly as shown in the pictures, possibly even more impressive in person. There is more than enough space and privacy for a group this size with 7 bedrooms and flexible bed options. The central part of the house including the kitchen/family room space as well as the very large patio and pool area was amazing. We had a private chef 3 nights and she was able to easily prepare and serve wonderful meals. The owner and local concierge were highly responsive to our needs. The live-on-property caretaker Danilo was wonderful and everyone fell in love with his dog Tito. Highly recommend this very special new property in Nosara.
