The Selva Serena Investment Thesis
Demand
Costa Rica’s South Caribbean is emerging as a high-end destination for travelers and buyers seeking authenticity, privacy, and nature beyond established resort corridors. Demand continues to expand as infrastructure improves and preferences shift toward lower-density, design-forward experiences.
Supply
Future luxury inventory is naturally constrained by limited titled coastal land, environmental protections. Thoughtfully designed luxury inventory remains scarce, naturally constraining future supply.
Product
Selva Serena is intentionally designed to compete at the top of the local market. Architecture, materials, and spatial planning are calibrated to support premium ADRs and consistent occupancy, aligned with the expectations of a discerning guest profile.
Operations
The project is delivered as a fully turnkey asset (optional), with professional oversight from design through operations. Conservative underwriting, disciplined cost controls, and a defined management approach are intended to support durable performance across market cycles.
Downside protection
Risk is managed through titled land ownership and phased execution. The asset is structured to preserve capital while participating in income generation and increasing land appreciation.
The art of living. Wilderness. Elevated.
“Wilderness is not a luxury but a necessity of the human spirit.”
— Edward AbbeySelva Serena is conceived as a legacy asset.
Your investment is an exquisite, engineered frame, built around the beautiful, raw power of the Caribbean jungle.
Our villas are designed as quiet sanctuaries with proven security, allowing you to access the deep, restorative value of the wild without sacrificing modern comfort or privacy.
Rooted in Tropical Flow
The architectural language responds directly to the coast’s climate and rhythms.
Generous floor plans open onto deep terraces that act as outdoor rooms — filtering light, encouraging airflow, and dissolving the boundary between interior and jungle canopy.
Zen meets engineering
This is Tropical Luxury optimized for light and air. Cross-breezes and engineered design create naturally cool and bright spaces designed for long-term performance and minimized mechanical dependence.
Your villa is a secure, contemporary sanctuary that supports calm, continuity, and ease of living.
We believe true luxury emerges when human design and the natural world move in harmony.
INTEGRITY OF DESIGN.
Every villa is a dialogue between modern simplicity and tropical resilience.
From polished concrete and teak wood to natural ventilation and shaded terraces — each element is crafted to endure, breathe, and belong.
Beyond quality and beauty, our design is crafted to be felt.
It is structural.
It is intentional.
Behind the vision is a Costa Rican team of licensed architects, builders, and legal partners, ensuring transparent delivery and long-term reliability from concept to handover.
Licensed, bonded, milestone-driven delivery.
10+ years of sustainable coastal design
Title verification & compliance oversight.

“Rather than offering fixed layouts or pre-determined home models, the project is structured around adaptable design typologies calibrated to site conditions, climate performance, and investment objectives.”

Where in Costa Rica?
Selva Serena is located in Playa Negra, Limón — on Costa Rica’s South Caribbean, 10 minutes from Puerto Viejo de Talamanca.
It’s a region defined by green canopy, low-density development, and a slower luxury rhythm—more nature-forward and less built-out than the country’s mature resort corridors.
Proximity, without coastal restrictions
Selva Serena sits approximately ~800 meters from the shoreline, outside the restricted maritime zone, allowing a clean development pathway while still remaining close to the coast.
Beach access: ~15 minutes.
Downtown Puerto Viejo: ~10 minutes.
Supermarkets: ~5 minutes, with additional convenience retail expanding nearby.
Everyday access
Travel times vary depending on weather and road conditions.
Site Layout (Conceptual) - Segregation Process Ongoing
The South Caribbean corridor
From Puerto Viejo, the area naturally extends into some of the country’s most iconic Caribbean landscapes — Cahuita National Park to the north (reef + rainforest) and the protected coastline and forests of the Gandoca–Manzanillo area to the south.
What we love about Puerto Viejo
Puerto Viejo has a rare mix: it’s visually wild, culturally alive, and still low-density. It attracts travelers who don’t want a resort—they want a place that feels real.
A guest profile that values design + nature
People come for rainforest beaches, surfing, cacao culture, and the Caribbean rhythm—then they choose to stay longer when the product supports comfort, privacy, and beauty.
A walkable ecosystem (that’s still early)
Great restaurants, boutique hotels, and local experiences are concentrated enough to feel easy—but the region remains intentionally underbuilt. That balance is a demand driver.
The kind of place people return to
Puerto Viejo tends to create repeat visitors. It’s not a “once-and-done” destination. For an owner, that matters: repeat demand supports steadier occupancy when the home is positioned correctly.
Selva Serena is designed to meet this market with restraint: quiet luxury, privacy, and a product that belongs here.
Why the Caribbean? Why now?
Costa Rica’s Caribbean coast is emerging as the country’s next high-end destination.
Costa Rica’s Caribbean coast represents one of the country’s last underdeveloped coastal markets with meaningful upside — defined by natural constraints, titled land, and a pace of growth that has remained disciplined and is observing even more traction in the past 3 years as the region becomes more known.
Long overlooked in favor of the Pacific, the region is now entering a new phase. Infrastructure improvements, international visibility, and shifting buyer preferences are drawing a more design-literate, long-term oriented audience — without the oversupply dynamics seen in mature resort corridors.
Playa Negra sits within this inflection point. The area combines low density, titled parcels, and proximity to Puerto Viejo, while remaining outside the immediate pressures of mass development. New projects are selective, inventory is limited, and land availability is finite.
The opportunity is defined not by speed, but by timing. As demand expands and development standards rise, early participation allows investors to benefit from both operating income and land-driven equity growth — before the market fully reprices.
The Caribbean’s Value Edge
Comparable cash flow to mature markets.
Higher growth curve.
Authentic edge.
Earlier-cycle pricing combined with limited supply dynamics can support a stronger upside profile than mature resort corridors — when the product is positioned at the top of the market
.
Luxury ADRs in the Caribbean now approach Pacific levels
Early investors capture both healthy ADR yields and accelerating equity growth from limited coastal supply.

Global Precision, Local Execution
Selva Serena is delivered through an execution model shaped by global operating standards and applied through a locally grounded development process in Costa Rica.
The team brings experience across large-scale technology, strategy, and operations environments, informing how decisions are made: disciplined planning, conservative assumptions, and a strong bias toward execution over speculation. This includes leadership experience within global technology organizations such as Meta (Facebook), applied pragmatically to real-world development.
On-the-ground delivery is led by Costa Rican architects, builders, and legal partners with direct experience designing, building, and operating hospitality assets in the South Caribbean region. Global standards guide project governance, transparency, and long-term asset integrity, while local teams ensure regulatory alignment, constructability, and climate-appropriate execution.
The result is a development approach that respects Costa Rica’s regulatory and environmental context while maintaining the rigor expected by international investors.
