Casa Ballena

Casa Ballena Pacifica

Casa Ballena Pacifica is a modern ocean-view retreat accommodating up to 14 guests, making it ideal for multiple couples, families, retreats, and groups of friends. Wake to panoramic Pacific Ocean views, enjoy morning coffee as toucans visit the nearby trees, and end the day watching unforgettable sunsets from the private infinity pool.

The villa is located seven minutes from the Costanera Highway in a gated community. A true 4x4 vehicle is required to access the property. Guests enjoy views from every room, concierge services, and convenient access to beaches, restaurants, and tours.

The Space

Wake to the calls of toucans and scarlet macaws as golden sunlight spreads across the Pacific Ocean. Watch monkeys move through the jungle canopy, then spend the day exploring Costa Rica’s natural beauty, from pristine beaches and hidden waterfalls to world-class surfing, whale watching, and other memorable adventures.

After a day of exploring, return to the private tropical sanctuary for a refreshing swim in the ocean-view pool. During whale season, you may even see humpback whales breaching in the waters of Marino Ballena National Park.

As the sun sets over the Pacific, prepare freshly caught local seafood on the barbecue and enjoy sunset cocktails. Alternatively, our concierge can arrange a private chef to create a farm-to-table dining experience in the comfort of the villa.

A Private Retreat for Family and Friends
