Located 7 minutes from the beach highway in a gated community (4x4 required), it offers 4 air conditioned bedrooms with en suite bathrooms for privacy and convenience, 3 lofts, huge pool, fiber-optic WiFi, smart TV, and gourmet kitchen. Enjoy stunning views, concierge services, and easy access to beaches, restaurants, and tours. Ask us about private chef, spa, and curated adventure bookings!

Casa Ballena Pacifica is a beautiful private sanctuary nestled in a secure gated community just minutes from Playa Arco and the scenic Costanera beach highway. Surrounded by lush jungle and breathtaking views, this single level home offers the perfect combination of convenience, seclusion, comfort, and natural beauty.

Wake each morning to the sounds of toucans and scarlet macaws, as the sunrise paints the Pacific horizon. Keep an eye out—humpback whales are often seen breaching the waters of Marino Ballena National Park, right below the home!

Perfect for multiple couples or families, Casa Ballena Pacifica is thoughtfully designed offering spacious shared spaces for gathering and private bedroom suites for quiet retreat. It strikes a perfect balance between togetherness and privacy, ensuring everyone can relax and recharge in their own way.

This beautiful home features four spacious air conditioned king bedrooms, each with blackout curtains, plush bedding, and private en-suite bathrooms (one bathroom is ADA-accessible).
Three of the bedrooms also include loft spaces with two twin beds each—ideal for children 10+ or nimble adults (accessed by ladder, with low ceilings).

Each bedroom features two stylish desk-height nightstands that double as private workspaces—ideal for remote work or peaceful video conferencing in a serene, distraction-free setting.

Indoor-outdoor living at its finest! Expansive fold-back glass doors blur the lines between the open-concept great room, chef’s kitchen, and the breezy poolside terrace—complete with a grill, large chest fridge, and al fresco dining space.

After a morning of adventure, float your cares away in the large private pool while watching tropical birds and wildlife. Gaze out at the protected bird sanctuaries of Isla Ballena and Tres Hermanos—it's like having a front-row seat to nature.

Fire up the BBQ and dine under the stars, or let a private chef craft a locally inspired gourmet dinner to celebrate a special occasion. The fully stocked kitchen features high-end appliances, quality cookware, and a large island with bar seating—perfect for casual meals or cocktails.

Inside, unwind in the airy great room with a smart TV (HDMI-equipped) and custom exotic hardwood furnishings—ideal for movie nights, board games, or simply relaxing with your favorite people.

As evening falls, let the sounds of the rainforest and a sky full of stars lull you into pura vida peace—the perfect ending to each day in paradise.

Nestled in the heart of Costa Rica’s breathtaking Southern Zone, this prime location places you just minutes from pristine waterfalls, picturesque beaches, world-class surfing, and an array of adventure and cultural tours.
