A HOME WITH ROOM TO GATHER
Wake to layers of green and a wide Pacific horizon. Handcrafted bamboo, generous rooflines and spaces opening towards the landscape give the villa its sense of place. Spend the morning swimming, stretch out with a book on the terrace, then gather around the table as the light changes over the ocean.
Designed for families and friends, Bamboo Villa welcomes up to ten guests across five bedrooms. Come with a full house, or a smaller group who would love a room of their own. There is space to spend time together and room to retreat into your own quiet rhythm.
OCEAN VIEWS & BAMBOO DESIGN
THE INFINITY POOL
The pool is part of the rhythm of a stay here: a refreshing morning swim, a pause between adventures, or a quiet place to watch the Pacific horizon. Step from the villa’s gathering spaces onto the terrace and let the views set the pace.
Surrounded by rainforest, the infinity edge opens towards the ocean. There is room for time together by the water and for the simple pleasure of staying still as the sky changes towards sunset.
THE MASTER SUITE
The villa’s round master suite is one of its most distinctive spaces. A generous king-size canopy bed sits beneath the sweep of a circular bamboo ceiling, with a window above drawing light into the room.
Open the doors to a terrace that wraps around the suite, with rainforest close by and beautiful views towards the Pacific and sunset. Come out with your morning tea, pause in the hammock, or watch the last light move across the ocean.
The bathroom is an experience of its own: a striking outdoor space with a private garden and a marble bathtub. Surrounded by greenery, it offers a quiet, intimate place to bathe and slow down.
The master suite sleeps two and is included in the whole-villa rental. Flower baths and botanical rituals can be arranged separately.
FIVE BEDROOMS · UP TO TEN GUESTS
We’ll plan the room arrangements personally with your group, whether you’re travelling as couples, family or friends.
THE MASTER BEDROOM
A distinctive circular room with a king-size canopy bed beneath a soaring round bamboo ceiling and skylight. Its wraparound terrace looks towards the ocean and sunset, while a private garden bathroom with a marble bath offers a beautiful place to unwind.
Explore the master suiteFOUR QUEEN BEDROOMS
Four rooms each have a queen-size bed for two. Each pair of queen bedrooms shares a bathroom with shower and windows opening towards the surrounding landscape.
In the queen-room arrangements, an adjacent loft with a twin bed offers an alternative to sharing a queen bed. Total villa occupancy remains up to ten guests.
OCEAN VIEWS · RAINFOREST PRIVACY
Share a table overlooking the trees, lounge beside the infinity pool or settle into an airy corner with the forest in view. Bamboo Villa is designed to make the most of natural airflow: sea breezes by day, cooler mountain breezes at night.

Host a retreat at WilderSUNSETS AT WILDER
Some evenings turn the Pacific gold; others bring soft pink skies, violet clouds and reflections across the infinity pool. With sweeping ocean views from the villa and the master suite’s wraparound terrace, sunset becomes a moment to pause together.
These are photographs from different evenings at Wilder: a glimpse of the light, the changing skies and the view you can settle into during your stay.

With a thoughtful eye for detail and warm, personal care, she shapes each stay around the intentions and rhythms of her guests. From choosing a garden dinner to finding a favourite quiet corner, your time here begins with a conversation.
