The house

Villa The Zen is a No Footprint Wood House constructed from teak using traditional nail-free assembly techniques. Its bioclimatic design uses natural ventilation, sea and mountain breezes, and shade from large trees. Open-concept living areas connect indoor and outdoor spaces. Sleeping accommodation includes king-size beds and two lofts, one with a full-size sofa bed and the other with a queen mattress.

A 22-meter infinity lap pool overlooks the landscape and has adjustable LED lighting with eight color options. A gazebo steps from the main patio contains a barbecue and bar area for outdoor dining. Other facilities include air conditioning, Wi-Fi, a washer, dryer, microwave, refrigerator, outdoor shower, lawn and window coverings.

The surrounding tropical forest attracts monkeys, toucans, macaws, butterflies and other tropical birds. Primary forest within the property is a five-minute walk from the villa. A 4×4 vehicle is mandatory for access.
