At 900 feet of elevation, Villa Ballena offers a breathtaking panorama of the Pacific Ocean and the iconic Whale Tail formation in Marino Ballena National Park, and constant cooling ocean breezes. This luxurious and serene retreat is just minutes away from dozens of excellent restaurants, shops, pristine beaches, waterfalls, and adventure tours.
Wake each morning to the sights and sounds of toucans, scarlet macaws, and families of coati and playful monkeys in the lush jungle canopy. Step outside into your private oasis, where an expansive ocean-view pool is framed by beautifully landscaped gardens offering complete seclusion. Enjoy your morning coffee as the sun rises over the Pacific. After an adventure filled day, spend the afternoon floating in the pool, watching tropical birds overhead.

As night falls, sip a glass of wine beneath a sky full of stars, the perfect close to another unforgettable day in paradise.
