About this property
Casa Bribri: Modern Gem | Ocean View+Walk to Surf
THE PROPERTY
Rarely do luxury and location align so perfectly. Casa Bribri is an architectural masterpiece by Benjamin Garcia Saxe, offering the "Holy Grail" of Santa Teresa: breathtaking ocean views from every room, while remaining a 2-minute walk to the surf.
Tucked in a private enclave just 2 minutes from town, this 5,000 sq. ft. sanctuary features 4 King Master suites and a saltwater infinity pool. With a 24/7 concierge, daily staff, and night security, we provide a full boutique hotel experience in a home designed to let you breathe with nature.
ARCHITECTURAL BRILLIANCE & BAREFOOT LUXURY
Casa Bribri was designed to blur the lines between luxury and the wild beauty of Costa Rica. The villa features a sophisticated blend of polished concrete, steel, and warm wooden floors.
Open-Air Living: To fully embrace the "Pura Vida" lifestyle, the main living areas and spa-style bathrooms are designed with an open-air concept. This allows the Pacific breeze to flow through the home and ensures you feel completely immersed in nature—whether you are sipping coffee in the lounge or showering under the canopy.
Four Ocean-View Master Suites: Every guest enjoys the "best room." All 4 suites feature King-size beds, A/C, and private balconies with panoramic ocean views.
Saltwater Infinity Pool: Overlook the canopy and the ocean—the ultimate spot for sunset cocktails.
Chef’s Kitchen: A professional-grade space and massive open-air dining table designed for hosting.
WORLD-CLASS SERVICE & SECURITY
The only thing on your mind should be checking the surf report, and never missing a sunset. At Casa Bribri, we take care of all the rest.
24/7 Concierge: We curate your entire trip—private chefs, in-villa massages, ATV rentals, and custom itineraries.
Daily Staff: Full housekeeping and maintenance are included.
Security: Gated entrance with a dedicated night security guard for absolute peace of mind.
THE NEIGHBORHOOD
Private, Quiet, and Perfectly Positioned Located in the upscale northern end of Santa Teresa, the villa is incredibly private and quiet—away from the dust and noise of the main road—yet just a 2-minute drive into the heart of town.
You are perfectly situated with two of the area's most iconic spots right across the road.
Cafe Social: Your local go-to for the best coffee, fresh smoothies, and breakfast.
Rocamar: A legendary sunset beach bar and restaurant located right on the sand—ideal for cocktails with your feet in the surf.
CONNECTIVITY & WORK-FROM-PARADISE
While we highly recommend leaving work behind and fully unplugging to the rhythm of the waves, we know that peace of mind comes from staying connected.
Casa Bribri is equipped with two independent Wi-Fi networks (Fiber Optic) to ensure total redundancy and high-speed reliability. Whether you need to hop on a video call or stream a movie by the pool, you’ll have seamless coverage throughout the villa.
OUR NEIGHBORING VILLA
Traveling with a larger group? Casa Bribri is part of an exclusive two-villa estate. Our sister villa—also designed by Benjamin Garcia Saxe—is located on the same gated grounds and mirrors the same luxury standards, staff, and breathtaking views.
When booked together, the estate can accommodate up to 16 guests across 8 king master suites. This is the perfect solution for multi-family vacations, boutique retreats, or special celebrations where you want to be close to your group while maintaining the privacy of two separate homes.
Please message us directly to inquire about estate-wide availability.
GUEST ACCESS
Guests have exclusive, private access to the entire 5,000 sq. ft. villa and its private saltwater infinity pool.
ENTRANCE & PARKING
The property is located within a secure, gated estate shared with one other luxury villa. You have dedicated parking spaces for your ATVs or 4x4 vehicles within the gated area.
While the entrance and driveway are shared, Casa Bribri is designed for total seclusion—once you step inside, the villa and its outdoor living spaces are 100% private to you.
ARRIVAL
Our concierge will meet you at the gate for a personalized check-in and villa orientation to ensure a seamless start to your stay.
YOUR DEDICATED TEAM
Our goal is to provide a seamless, "boutique hotel" experience within the privacy of your own home.
24/7 Virtual Concierge: From the moment you book, our concierge is available to curate your itinerary, book private chefs, and organize local excursions.
On-Site Support: Our professional housekeeping and maintenance staff visit daily to keep the villa pristine, working discreetly to respect your privacy.
Peace of Mind: A dedicated night security guard is on-site every evening from 5:00 PM to ensure a secure and tranquil environment.
We are as hands-on or hands-off as you desire. Whether you need a local recommendation at a moment's notice or total uninterrupted solitude, we are here to make it happen.
OTHER DETAILS TO NOTE
We specialize in group and family travel. Whether you need a full itinerary planned before you arrive or a grocery pre-stocking service so the fridge is full of cold drinks upon arrival, our concierge is here to make your stay effortless.

Santa Teresa
Located in Cóbano, this villa is by the ocean.
