What to Pack for a Manuel Antonio Villa Stay

Pack for warm, relaxed days—but give yourself options for rainforest weather, active outings, and evenings at the villa.

The short list

  • Light, breathable clothing and a layer for air-conditioned rooms.
  • Two swimsuits, sandals, and shoes with dependable grip.
  • A light rain shell, compact day bag, and reusable water bottle.
  • Sun protection you already know works for you.
  • Any personal medication, plus copies of important travel details.

Pack for the day you have planned

Beach and pool days are simple. For rainforest walks, waterfalls, ziplining, or ATV outings, closed-toe footwear and quick-drying clothes make the day easier. A small dry bag or zip pouch is useful for phones and documents.

Villa advantage

Daily housekeeping is included, so you can pack with comfort rather than overpack. Your Concierge can also help confirm what a specific excursion provides before you leave.

What can stay home

Skip dressy wardrobes and bulky “just in case” gear. Manuel Antonio is easygoing. Bring one polished casual outfit, then prioritize pieces you will actually wear in warm weather.
