Casa Blanca – A Private Luxury Ocean Retreat in Mal País, Costa Rica

Perched above the Pacific on three private tropical acres, Casa Blanca is an exceptional four-bedroom villa combining complete privacy, contemporary design and panoramic ocean views. Swim in the magnificent 22-metre infinity lap pool, relax among lush gardens and experience unforgettable Mal País sunsets from your own secluded retreat.

From the moment you arrive, the outside world begins to fade. The sounds of howler monkeys echo through the jungle at sunrise, scarlet macaws and hummingbirds pass overhead, warm ocean breezes drift through the open living spaces, and each evening ends with spectacular sunsets over the Pacific.

Whether you're swimming in the magnificent 22-metre infinity lap pool, enjoying a private yoga session in the ocean-view cabina, sharing dinner beneath the bamboo-covered terrace, or simply relaxing with a book while watching wildlife in the surrounding gardens, Casa Blanca offers the rare luxury of complete privacy combined with the comforts of an exceptional home.

DESIGNED FOR RELAXED LUXURY

Every aspect of Casa Blanca has been thoughtfully designed to blend contemporary architecture with the natural beauty of Costa Rica.

Large folding glass walls open the home to the surrounding jungle and ocean views, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living while allowing the villa to be fully enclosed and air-conditioned whenever you prefer.

Natural wood flooring, handcrafted finishes, elegant Bisazza tile work, beautifully landscaped gardens, and carefully chosen furnishings create an atmosphere that is sophisticated without ever feeling formal.

This is a home designed to be lived in—not simply admired.

THE HEART OF THE VILLA

The spectacular infinity pool is the centrepiece of Casa Blanca.

Stretching 22 metres towards the Pacific Ocean, it is equally suited to morning fitness, leisurely afternoons, family fun, or floating peacefully while watching one of Costa Rica's unforgettable sunsets.

Unlike many vacation homes, the pool is large enough for serious lap swimming while still providing generous shallow areas for relaxing throughout the day.

Around the pool, you'll find comfortable loungers, shaded seating, lush tropical gardens, and panoramic ocean views that change constantly throughout the day.

INDOOR & OUTDOOR LIVING

Life at Casa Blanca naturally flows between indoors and outdoors.

Prepare breakfast in the fully equipped gourmet kitchen, enjoy long lunches overlooking the jungle, gather for sunset cocktails on the terrace, or finish the evening with dinner prepared by your private chef using the Napoleon gas barbecue or the Big Green Egg.

The covered outdoor dining area quickly becomes everyone's favourite place to gather, offering cool ocean breezes and beautiful views throughout the day.

BEDROOMS DESIGNED FOR REST

Each bedroom has been designed as a peaceful retreat with comfortable beds, quality linens, air conditioning, ceiling fans, and beautiful ocean or jungle views.

Wake each morning to tropical birds instead of traffic.

Fall asleep each evening to the peaceful sounds of nature.

Whether travelling as a couple, with family, or with friends, every guest enjoys space, comfort, and privacy.

WELLNESS COMES NATURALLY

Casa Blanca has quietly become a favourite for guests seeking wellness as much as relaxation.

Begin your morning with yoga overlooking the Pacific.

Arrange an in-villa massage.

Enjoy Pilates, meditation, or simply sit quietly in the private cabina surrounded by tropical gardens.

The villa's peaceful setting makes it remarkably easy to disconnect from everyday life.

MODERN COMFORTS

While Casa Blanca feels wonderfully secluded, it offers the modern conveniences today's travellers expect.

• High-speed Wi-Fi throughout the property.

• Purified drinking water throughout the entire villa.

• Air conditioning in all bedrooms.

• Fully equipped gourmet kitchen.

• Luxury outdoor cooking area with Napoleon BBQ and Big Green Egg.

• Laundry facilities.

• Secure gated property with ample parking.

• Carefully maintained tropical gardens and walking paths.

Whether you're working remotely for a few days or completely disconnecting, you'll have everything you need.

DISOVER MAL PAIS & SANTA TERESA

Casa Blanca is perfectly positioned to enjoy everything that has made this coastline famous.

Within minutes you'll discover beautiful beaches, world-class surfing, excellent restaurants, boutique cafés, yoga studios, local markets, fishing charters, horseback riding, ATV adventures, waterfalls, and the remarkable Cabo Blanco Nature Reserve.

Many guests tell us they love spending their days exploring before returning each afternoon to watch the sunset from the pool with a drink in hand.

Others rarely leave the villa.

Both approaches are perfectly understandable.

A TRULY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE

Unlike many investment properties, Casa Blanca has been lovingly cared for and continuously improved by its owners over many years.

We are passionate about helping guests create unforgettable holidays and are always happy to assist with recommendations, activity planning, airport transfers, private chefs, massage therapists, yoga instructors, surf lessons, fishing trips, grocery pre-stocking, childcare, and many other concierge services.

Our goal is simple:

To provide the kind of holiday that guests remember long after they return home—and one that brings many of them back again.

WELCOME TO CASA BLANCA

Whether you're celebrating a special occasion, enjoying a family holiday, planning a wellness retreat, or simply escaping to one of Costa Rica's most beautiful coastlines, Casa Blanca offers an experience that combines privacy, comfort, nature, and understated luxury in a way few properties can.

We look forward to welcoming you.

The hosts were very accommodating. The home has spectacular views and is very comfortable with all the amenities. It is a hike to get there, but we made it with no problems. The home is a short drive to dining and groceries, but it also can be a resort in and of itself. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.

Hi Mica. Thanks for calling me and letting me know that you pushed send before you completed your review. It was great to have you and thanks for allowing us to include your message you left us at the house with other. From Mica and Team "It's hard to put into words the beauty and sheer peace that Casa Blanca provides from the moment the gates open. Visually stunning both inside and out. It's obvious at every turn the hard work, thoughtfulness and love that has gone into creating this little slice of heaven. It's the perfect place to create memories with loved ones as you slowly melt into Costa Rica. Michael, Eduardo, Maria and the entire Casa Blanca Team were phenomenal. We can't thank you enough for your next level hospitality. It made our days here truly magical. If you've just arrived, you're in for a treat. Top tips from us: rent at the ATVs. You won't regret it. PS: Lots of love and tummy scratches for Lucy - the dog - she's the best. Pura Vida, The Villains."

My family and our friends (4 adults and 2 teenagers) had a great two-week stay over March Break at Villa Casa Blanca, which is located in the hills overlooking the ocean between Santa Teresa and Mal País. This was our third trip to Costa Rica, but our first time staying in the Mal País/Santa Teresa area, and we really enjoyed it.The villa is on a steep hill in the middle of the jungle, just over a kilometre from the nearest beach, and feels very private, with no one else in sight. It’s modern, with huge glass windows throughout that make you feel completely immersed in the surroundings. At the villa, you’re surrounded by lots of flora and fauna, with daily sightings of capuchin and howler monkeys exploring the trees around the property, along with macaws and other tropical birds. The 20-metre lap pool and outdoor gym area (including permanent pull-up and dip bars — something every villa should have!) got plenty of use. Other days were spent surfing, running, hiking, horseback riding, and exploring the quieter beaches along the coastline.The owner, Michael, was very responsive, usually replying within minutes on WhatsApp, and the villa staff were always available whenever we needed them for cleaning, maintenance, or the occasional meal on nights when we didn’t feel like heading out. There are also dozens of great restaurants just a short drive away.A great stay all around. We’d be very happy to return to Casa Blanca.

Hospitality, style, and an incredible view!

Our first trip to the Nicoya Peninsula set the bar VERY high! Villa Casa Blanca is stunning and Mike, the owner/manager is an excellent host. The hands-on team and family that welcome guests and take care of the property are friendly, discreet, accommodating and efficient. The house and outdoor kitchen and all deck/lounging areas and huge pool were kept spotlessly clean and comfortable. We spent 3 weeks here and we loved every minute of it. Tropical birds visit the gardens & trees everyday! Sunsets for a lifetime! And Lucy is a wonderful, fun, gentle house dog who we immediately loved! I just hope we can return again and again!

Best House Rental we’ve ever had!

Hands down our favorite house rental we’ve ever stayed & we travel alot. We traveled with our 3 kids (7, 11, 13yrs). The house was absolutely gorgeous, very clean, well decorated, every amenity we needed. The pool was the best- the kids loved. The views will forever stay in my memory with the ocean & sunset views and the jungle all around. So many little areas around the property. So peaceful, you really feel in heaven.Michael and staff were so kind, very fast to respond and helped all the way from the first message to check out. My only suggestion would be to find some solutions to cool down the livingroom & kitchen area as from 11- 3pm it gets very hot (& we are not big AC people) also, the house is well up the hill, way off the main & off road- you must have a good SUV.We hope to come back very soon!

Hi Danielle and Team. It was so great to have you and your family. Your appreciation as architects meant a lot to us. We were glad to assist you through your stay and we do look forward to welcoming you back. As for the heat, it was exceptionally hot weather that week. We hope you used the cooling fans in the living room but perhaps you didn’t realize you can add ice to them to cool down more easily. They have paved the road up to the Villa. As you know we are just 1km from the main road. We are grateful to our community to join hands to make the road better and better. See you again soon.

Unbelievable experience starting at 1st request

I cannot say enough about what a great experience my family had while visiting Costa Rica for our first time. From my first inquiry about possible renting Casa Blanca to now, the owner, Mike, has provided so much information which made our 20th Anniversary trip in Costa Rica a fantastic experience. We loved every part of the house especially the infinity pool. It was our private getaway beautifully situated on a hill overlooking the pacific, surrounded by a tropical paradise. Now that we've found this wonderful part of the world, I'm already trying to find time to make our way back. Thank you for sharing your home with us...we LOVED it!

Our stay at Casa Blanca was magical! This property was the centerpiece of an unforgettable trip; a private slice of heaven. The moment you arrive you step into a secret botanical garden in a private rainforest oasis. This property in the hills offers breathtaking 360-degree views of ocean & rainforest. It is peaceful, secluded & only a short minutes' drive from the center of town. You get the best of both worlds: total privacy & easy access to all amenities, restaurants & beaches. Relaxing in the pool we saw geckos, frogs, toucans, howler monkeys & macaws. Watching butterflies dance around the garden while breathing in Jasmine & Ylang-ylang was mesmerizing. Viewing gorgeous sunsets while the jungle came alive around us is an experience I’ll never forget. The home is impeccable & equipped with everything you need. The open floor plan sets the vibe for ultimate relaxation; the perfect balance of luxury & nature. The rooms are spacious & every room offers stunning views. Waking up to that scenery each day is a privilege. Huge thank you to our hosts, Mike & JC, who were wonderful from start to finish. Communication was prompt & they were helpful with suggestions for activities & dining. They truly care about their guests' experience.Thank you to Maria & Eduardo, who keep the property in immaculate condition. They were there if we needed anything, but masterful at being invisible when we didn't. If you’re looking for a private sanctuary, this is the paradise you’ve dreamt of.

Paradise!!

We have stayed at Casa Blanca several times and each year gets better! This year the pool has totally been retiled (beautiful infinity pool) and there is an additional pellet ice maker, along with the large cube icemaker that never goes empty! The caretakers Eduardo and Maria will cater to your every need and I highly recommend having them make dinner or afternoon drinks for you (ask for the passionfruit margarita). Also ask Eduardo to book a massage under the cantilevered cliff side canopy overlooking the ocean. Casa Blanca is incredibly safe (as is Mal Pais), with a security gate, non-obtrusive fencing around the property and our favorite security guard-Lucy the house dog. She will keep the iguanas away from the pool and is gentle and sweet as can be. Words cannot express how great this paradise is!

Even better than the pictures!

The home is truly stunning with breathtaking ocean views from the moment you walk in the front door! The floor to ceiling glass doors allow you to enjoy unobstructed ocean and jungle views as you look out over the full length horizon pool (which is perfect for lap swimming)! The yoga chalet and wind chimes create a peaceful environment in which to mediate and practice yoga. You have complete privacy to enjoy the ocean views from the outdoor showers, too, while listening to the sounds of exotic birds and monkeys and watching beautiful butterflies and hummingbirds fly around the tropical flowers in the lush gardens. Their restaurant recommendations were spot on too, as we particularly enjoyed Katana and Koji's for dinner and The Bakery for breakfast. We will definitely stay here again and would recommend it to anyone looking for a truly "top of the world" experience in Santa Teresa/Mal Pais.

Home away from home

We have been staying at Casablanca for the last nine years and can't wait to come back. Eduardo and family that care for the house make sure we are comfortable and well fed! When leaving the house for a 5 minute trip to either Mal Pais or Santa Theresa (both incredible), we are always excited to get back and enjoy the long, infinity pool overlooking the ocean for sunset. The rooftop has 360 degree views of the jungle and ocean and is great for stargazing. Other items that some travelers take for granted are plumbing (water is incredible out of the tap- reverse osmosis ), lighting and great air-conditioning. The Sonos sound system is a new addition this year, as the owners are constantly updating amenities. We have traveled all over the world for the last 30 years and this by far our favorite warm weather destination. Thank you for everything!

Paradise in Costa Rica

An architecturally stunning villa just minutes from the beach with views to die for. We have rented villas in Santa Teresa and Mal Pais and this if by far the best. Michael/Juan and the amazing team of Lourdes/Eduardo looked after every detail to help us enjoy the most of our trip. The rooms are spacious, air-conditioned and the kitchen has everything you would ever need. Not to mention the outdoor BBQ with Green Egg and Gas BBQ. One of the most enjoyable things for us was that the villa is completely private without any neighbors …. only the sounds of the jungle and the waves from the beach. There are many private areas around the property to enjoy - pool lounge, day bed, massage cabin and more. The owners clearly take pride in their jungle garden. We would definitely recommend this modern villa for anyone who really wants to get away and enjoy vistas with amazing sunsets from the infinity pool - a lap pool at that. We enjoyed cooking with Lourdes and leaning new recipes - an amazing cook. We will definitely be coming back.

Tranquility

My family (wife and 4 kids ages 17, 19, 21 and 23) had a wonderful stay at Casa Blanca from late December through the New Year. The experience started within days of confirming our reservation, with the host Mike reaching out and sending a comprehensive package on the house, the local area things to do and restaurant recommendations. The whole team was very helpful with the pre-arrival arrangements and great suggestions for transportation and activities and Mike made himself available for a call to talk through details of the trip. All the recommendations and events that the team provided were perfect and helped make the entire trip a hit for the whole family. Some of the highlights were the great restaurant recommendations, fishing trip, surf lessons and snorkeling. Quad bikes (highly recommended) were a fun way to move around town and explore the area. The house and setting were even more beautiful than depicted in the pictures and provided a relaxed environment with plenty of privacy and a great roof-top deck to watch the sunset and do some star gazing. Equally as important, Eduardo and Maria were great in their caretaker roles in being attentive and responsive, but unobtrusive. They also cooked for us at the house and provided one of the best traditional Costa Rican meals we had the whole trip. We will definitely be back!

Amazing House!!

When we began our search for a place to rent in Costa Rica we were struck by the beautiful pictures and the many five star reviews of Casa Blanca so we decided to choose this house for our family vacation. From the moment we reserved the house Mike was beyond helpful and answered all of our questions. When we arrived we were blown away by the beautiful grounds and the house! It's even better than in the pictures. The gate opens and you feel like you have been transported to paradise! We were also greeted by the best meal ever prepared by Maria which was so nice considering our long travel day. The pool overlooking the ocean is amazing and long enough to do laps. All the bedrooms are so comfortable and our family of 5 (2 adults and three older kids age 23,21,18) had more than enough room. Mike suggested getting an ATV (we had a car too) and that turned out to be so much fun!! The ride to the house is not far from town and an fun ride to the beach. Some days no one even wanted to go to the beach because the house hang was so amazing!! We have rented many times in the area and Casa Blanca is by far the best house we have stayed in. We are already counting the days until we can come back!! Thank you Mike for all your help and suggestions which made our trip seamless, and thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful home. Also a huge thanks to Maria and Eduardo for taking such good care of us throughout the week!! We loved every minute.

About the host

Host profile image
Casa Blanca was never intended to be just another vacation rental. It began as a dream—a place where we, our family, and our friends could slow down, reconnect with nature, and rediscover what truly matters.
After years of traveling the world, one destination captured our hearts from the very first visit: Mal País.
It wasn't just the endless beaches, spectacular sunsets, lush jungle, or warm Pacific Ocean that drew us here. It was something far more difficult to describe. There is a peaceful rhythm to life in this special corner of Costa Rica. Time slows down. The people are genuinely welcoming, nature surrounds you at every turn, and the distractions of modern life seem to melt away.
We knew we had found somewhere extraordinary.
When we created Casa Blanca, our goal was simple: to build the kind of home we would dream of staying in ourselves. A place that feels luxurious without losing its connection to nature. A home where mornings begin with birdsong and ocean views, afternoons are spent by the pool or exploring hidden beaches, and evenings end beneath spectacular sunsets and star-filled skies.
Every decision—from the architecture and gardens to the kitchen, lighting, artwork, and outdoor spaces—was made with one purpose: creating an experience that feels peaceful, inspiring, and unforgettable.
We genuinely hope that during your stay you'll disconnect from the pressures of everyday life, reconnect with the people who matter most, and leave feeling refreshed, inspired, and already dreaming of your return.
If Casa Blanca becomes one of those rare places you never forget, then we've accomplished exactly what we set out to create.
Welcome to our little piece of paradise. We hope you'll love it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

The moment we first stepped onto this hillside, we knew we had found something truly extraordinary.
Before us stretched breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean, endless beaches, the untouched jungle, and the spectacular Cabo Blanco Nature Reserve. Cool ocean breezes flowed through the trees, monkeys played in the canopy, tropical birds filled the air with song, and the sound of the waves created an immediate sense of peace. It felt like discovering a hidden corner of paradise.

We searched for years to find a location like this—one that would remain protected from overdevelopment, where nature would always take center stage, and where we could build in harmony with the surrounding environment. Preserving the beauty of this remarkable setting has always been at the heart of Casa Blanca.

Our vision was to create a contemporary tropical home where concrete, glass, and warm teak blend seamlessly with the landscape. Every room was carefully designed to capture the magnificent ocean, jungle, and national park views, allowing nature to become part of the living experience.

We also wanted our guests to enjoy every modern comfort. From fully screened and air-conditioned rooms to premium appliances, thoughtful lighting, high-speed Wi-Fi, and beautifully designed indoor and outdoor spaces, every detail has been chosen to make your stay effortless and relaxing.

Outside, you'll discover more than three acres of private tropical gardens filled with quiet places to escape. Swim laps in the 22-metre pool, practice yoga or enjoy a massage in the open-air cabina, wander through fruit trees and jungle paths, or simply sit beneath the palms listening to the waves, birds, and wildlife that make this place so magical.

Casa Blanca is more than a luxury villa—it is a place to reconnect with nature, slow down, and experience one of Costa Rica's most beautiful and protected coastal landscapes.

What makes this property unique

Sun. Sea. Pool. Spectacular Views. Endless Beaches. What more could you ask for?

Welcome to Casa Blanca, your own private tropical sanctuary where luxury, tranquility, and nature come together. Perched above the Pacific Ocean and surrounded by lush jungle, the villa offers breathtaking views, complete privacy, and the soothing soundtrack of the waves—without neighboring properties interrupting your peace.

The heart of the home is its stunning gourmet kitchen and dining area, designed to bring everyone together. Prepare meals while gazing across the ocean, entertain family and friends around the beautiful Italian marble island, or enjoy unforgettable sunsets as the sea breeze drifts through the open living spaces.

Beyond the villa, discover your own private paradise. Relax with a massage in the open-air cabina, wander through the tropical fruit garden, explore the private jungle paths, take a peaceful nature walk, watch monkeys and exotic birds, or simply unwind by the infinity pool with a refreshing drink in hand.

Whether you're seeking adventure, romance, family time, or a place to completely disconnect, Casa Blanca offers an unforgettable Costa Rican experience where every moment is designed to inspire, relax, and reconnect with nature.
