Ubud, Bali
The Rainforest House
Santa Teresa, Costa Rica · Exceptional
The moment
The stay Floating in the canopy pool as the howler monkeys start up at dawn.
A house built into the hillside jungle above Santa Teresa, with a pool among the treetops and the Pacific breaking in the distance.
Costa Rica does barefoot better than anywhere. Mornings begin with howler monkeys and end with the best surf on the Nicoya Peninsula, a few minutes down the hill. In between: a pool that floats in the canopy, yoga on the deck, and the kind of green that makes your shoulders drop. The house opens to the jungle on every side, cooled by the breeze rather than walls.
At night the jungle gets loud and the sky gets impossibly full of stars. You sleep with the sound of it all around you, and wake up better than you have in years.
The Deserved verdict
Bali’s villas are polished; this is wilder and closer to the sea. For surfers and anyone who wants the jungle a little untamed.
