Our Beach:
Hidden from your view by the jungle’s tree line is the gated access beach where you’ll spend time on the most beautiful beach in Costa Rica. A short trip down the hill will have you at the exclusive, gated entrance to the Ballena National Marine Park Beach. Merely park at the creek water's edge and walk 50 yards to the beach. The convenience is impossible to explain. From here you will experience the beauty of this wide 3-mile stretch of beach. Exercise, or take long peaceful walks, enjoy the modest waves in this sand bottom beach, or just bask in the sun. At days end, a spectacular sunset awaits you. The Tommy Bahama beach chairs, giant beach towels and boogie boards will go a long way toward making your day at this soft sand beach perfect in every way. Please don’t be surprised if you don’t see anyone else at this beach. The solitude here is simply stunning and our access to this beach is as exclusive as the house you are living in. Every day your group will experience early sunrises and fantastic sunsets beset with toucans, parrots and howler monkeys enjoying their lives in the jungle.
Area excursions include whale and dolphin tours, zip lining and canopy tours, snorkeling, deep sea fishing, hiking, Nauyaca Falls, world-famous beaches, surfing, wildlife tours, river rafting, sea kayaking, paddle boarding, bird watching, golf, horseback riding, festivals, and more. The Dominical/Uvita area also offers various yoga classes, retreats, and spas. We can make all reservations for you.
We offer full concierge service to assist you with tours, activities, car rentals, airport transport, restaurant reservations and any other information about the area. We can even arrange grocery shopping, a private chef or catering of your choice.
