On the sloped terrain of Santa Teresa Costa Rica, Selva Resorts new units offer a unique blend of raw tropical luxury, designed to provide guests with a unique experience with hanging pools that cantilever over the gardens. These units are crafted to integrate with the terrain slope, providing views of the ocean while maintaining a strong sense of privacy and exclusivity.

The architectural design embraces an outdoor living concept, ensuring that guests can fully immerse themselves in the beauty of Santa Teresa. Each unit is strategically positioned to maximize the views, with large, floor-to-ceiling windows and balconies that bring the outdoors in. The material palette of the units emphasizes a harmonious blend of modern and natural elements. Concrete finishes create a sleek, contemporary aesthetic, providing a robust and durable foundation. The use of steel industrial finishes adds an edgy, modern touch, reinforcing the structural integrity of the buildings while offering a stylish contrast to the organic surroundings. Teak wood finishes are incorporated, adding warmth and texture to the design.

A standout feature of these units is the second-floor pools, designed to offer an elevated perspective of the landscape. These pools are not merely functional but also architectural focal points, seamlessly integrated into the spacious open terraces. Each terrace extends generously from the main living area, creating an expansive outdoor living space that blurs the line between indoor and outdoor environments. The terraces are furnished with comfortable lounging areas, perfect for sunbathing, reading, or enjoying a cocktail while taking in the surrounding views.

Privacy is a paramount consideration in the design of the units. To ensure that guests can enjoy their stay without intrusion, a thoughtfully designed louver system is integrated into the architecture. These louvers allow light and ventilation to flow through, creating a comfortable and airy environment, while simultaneously maintaining privacy between the units. This innovative solution ensures that guests can experience the open, outdoor living concept without compromising their personal space.

The layout of the units is carefully planned to provide a sense of seclusion and intimacy. Each unit is surrounded by lush landscaping, which acts as a natural buffer between neighboring spaces. This strategic use of greenery not only enhances privacy but also contributes to the serene ambiance of the property. The integration of native plants and trees further connects the design to its tropical context, promoting a sense of place and harmony with the environment.
