From the moment you arrive at this boutique hotel, something inside you stirs. It may be the distant call of monkeys, the scent of sun-warmed gardens, or the rhythmic hush of the ocean meeting the jungle. Whatever it is, you feel it instantly, this is a place unlike any other.

Set across 6.7 acres of tropical landscape, the property is located approximately 750 meters from a government-protected beach, just an 8-minute walk to Playa Buena Vista, ideally positioned between Sámara and Nosara. Originally built in 2009, the estate was designed to live in harmony with its surroundings, where nature defines the experience.

At the heart of the property stands Haven, a striking 65-foot-tall circular Grand Casita featuring a full kitchen, four unique bedrooms, and an open second-floor loft that creates an immediate sense of awe.

Winding garden paths lead to nine additional private casitas, each thoughtfully placed for privacy. In total, the property offers 20 beds and 14 bathrooms, comfortably hosting up to 24 guests, with potential to expand to 30. Ample open space allows for future development, including additional casitas or villas.

Currently operating as a retreat center, the property is ideally suited as a boutique hotel, while also offering flexibility as a private estate or income-generating rental property.

Outdoor living is embraced throughout. A serene pool sits within lush gardens, complemented by shaded lounges and a smoothie bar. Quiet corners, meditation spaces, and nature viewpoints invite guests to relax and reconnect.

A standout feature is the open-air pavilion, a breezy structure framed by jungle views, perfect for yoga, events, or group gatherings.

At the entrance, the operational hub includes a commercial kitchen, covered dining areas, lounge spaces, and private quarters for staff or owners. Additional infrastructure includes laundry, storage, reception, and ample parking.

A rare highlight is the decommissioned landing strip, offering unique potential to be transformed into a fruit forest, gardens, or additional development space.

The property is serviced by ASADA water and also features its own artisanal well, providing both reliability and self-sufficiency.

With a proven track record and strong positioning in Costa Rica’s growing tourism market, this boutique hotel presents an exceptional investment opportunity with immediate income potential and room to expand.

Private tours and full details are available upon request for qualified buyers.
