Butterfly Bungalow l Jungle Sanctuary w/River, Private Pool, Fire Tub & Privacy | House in Quepos
1 Bedroom House in Parrita, Quepos
An Adults- Only private riverfront sanctuary designed for couples seeking reconnection, rest, and immersion in nature.
White Noise Costa Rica l A Butterfly Sanctuary & River Retreat. Our Butterfly Bungalow is hidden along the Rio Damitas in the Costa Rican jungle, blending understated luxury with raw natural beauty - from the riverside fire-heated tub and hammocks to the sound of the jungle that surrounded you day and night.
Designed for comfort, privacy, and ease — balancing nature with a refined stay experience. Created by Jenn and Danny, this hand built retreat blends thoughtful design with the wild beauty of the surrounding landscape.
Here, days are shaped by the rhythm of the river, the sounds of the jungle, and the quiet space to simply be. Guests come to slow down, reconnect, and experience a different pace of living — often finding that a few nights is just the beginning.
INSIDE THE BUNGALOW
Floor-to-ceiling windows dissolve the boundaries between inside and out. The open kitchen and peaceful decor reflect earthy tones and organic textures, while musical touches, like a drum, maraca, and Tibetan bowl that invite creativity and calm.
Every space is designed to let you feel grounded and inspired, a quiet elegance surrounded by the wild.
EVENINGS IN THE JUNGLE
As the sun fades, the jungle transforms into something entirely new — alive, mysterious, and deeply romantic. Soft golden lights trace the pathways, riverbanks, and open-air spaces, casting a gentle glow that invites you to slow down and savor the night.
Slip into the fire-lit riverfront hot tub beneath a sky scattered with stars, or frolic the many spaces in the warm evening air. The sounds of nocturnal wildlife rise all around you — the distant call of frogs, the whisper of the breeze through the trees, the steady rhythm of the river flowing by.
It’s a scene that feels both intimate and infinite, a connection to something greater, yet deeply personal in the moment.
This is what we call the sound of White Noise — peace, connection, and wonder intertwined. Where luxury and nature meet, and the story continues with you.
