Potoo at Manu Villas and Spa Dominical
Property # 10037

Potoo is known as the dreamy tree house in the sky. It is a one-bedroom suite that sits on stilts with a sweeping terrace that allows you to reach out and caress Orchids on the trees. The 1500 square foot studio encompasses a Teak four-post king-size bed, adjoining bathroom with coral tile floors and sandstone sinks, and an ornate hand-carved Teak wood kitchen and living space. The unique design of this house creates romantic seclusion coupled with the imperial essence of living on a cloud. It is nestled far away from the other houses and pavilions on the ridgeline between the slopes that overlook the Pacific Ocean to the West and the lush rain forest valley to the East. It comfortably sleeps two guests on a romantic getaway, anniversary, or wistful adventure. There is a daybed for an additional guest, lazy afternoons with a book, or taking siesta. Ideal for 2 but can accommodate 3.

Potoo is an antique 80-year-old traditional farmhouse from the Java Islands of Indonesia. It was painstakingly taken apart, labeled piece by piece, and shipped to Costa Rica, then reassembled to its former glory. We wanted to recreate the traditional exquisite Java construction process that uses very few external assembly items such as nails, staples and concrete. It is modernly equipped with vacation essentials and amenities, yet it retains its tropical heritage.

Potoo represents a unique green organic living space using the legacy of tropical climates to create a structure that withstands the intensity of humid weather. In parts of the world where recycling is a necessity and not a luxury, they craft new from the old. The unique floor of the Potoo suite is constructed of Javanese railroad ties. In the evening you can dip into the stone Jacuzzi nestled under the eves of the terrace or sit on the daybed and watch the green parrots return to the treetops for slumber. Come live in the famous Potoo construction and be part of the organic heritage of the rain forest.
