180 ocean view luxury villa, huge pool, concierge, perfect for families!

Wake to the calls of toucans and scarlet macaws as golden sunlight spills across the Pacific Ocean. Watch monkeys move through the jungle canopy, then spend your day discovering Costa Rica’s extraordinary natural beauty—from pristine beaches and hidden waterfalls to world-class surfing, whale watching, and unforgettable adventures.

Return to your private tropical sanctuary for a refreshing swim in the ocean-view pool. During whale season, you may even spot magnificent humpback whales breaching in the waters of Marino Ballena National Park. As the sun sets over the Pacific, fire up the BBQ for freshly caught local seafood and sunset cocktails, or let our concierge arrange a private chef to create an exceptional farm-to-table dining experience in the comfort of your villa.

Welcome to Casa Ballena Pacifica—a private luxury retreat in a gated community (4x4 required) where breathtaking ocean views, tropical wildlife, and effortless indoor-outdoor living come together for an unforgettable Costa Rican escape.

A Kitchen Made for Gathering

Prepare a leisurely breakfast, share a meal with loved ones, or enjoy a favorite drink while planning the day's adventures. For a truly memorable evening, our concierge can arrange a private chef to bring fresh, local flavors directly to your villa.

Rest, Recharge & Unwind

At the end of each adventure-filled day, retreat to one of four spacious king suites. Each features a private en-suite bathroom, air conditioning, blackout drapes, premium linens, plush bedding, and dedicated workspaces.

The Octopus Suite offers an ADA-accessible bathroom for added convenience. Three of the king suites also feature lofts with two twin beds each, providing additional sleeping space for children ages 10 and older or agile adults. Please note that lofts are accessed by ladder and have low ceilings.

We had an absolutely amazing stay here. The view is unbelievable - we could sit on the back patio for hours. The hosts sent many videos and guides on how to have the best stay. We had to private chefs come to the villa and cook for us - best meals we had. The hosts recommended their favorite restaurants and they didn’t steer us wrong. Our group would definitely stay here again. Thanks for a great trip!

This property was perfect for our family vacation. This was my husband and Is' 6th time in CR. We started bringing our young children to CR over 10 years ago. This trip our now adult children brought their significant others and my 77 year father in law came too. The 4 master bedrooms was the perfect layout for our family members. If we weren't sleeping we spent most of our time when at the house in the pool or around the large outdoor table. Uvita is an amazing place to visit. All the local people and businesses are so kind and welcoming. I can't wait until our next trip.

The place is amazing. Perfect way to start and end the day. Minutes from a variety of beaches. Within hour from a wealth of Costa Rican adventures. Came with outstanding hospitality from Jaguar Property Management including extensive guidance and recommendations for anything one might want on a trip to the area. Better communication than we’ve ever experienced for a short term rental - be it via Vrbo or other. Makes navigating a new uncertain area that much more comfortable.

This property was amazing and Jaguar Property Management (Tom and Christine) were awesome. They really took very good care of us while we were there. We stayed for 14 days and the views will never be beat. The four bedrooms with onsuite bathrooms were perfect for all of us. I would highly recommend this property for a group of 4 couples or family with teenage adults needing their own space. The views form the pool of the Pacific Ocean and the sunset were some the best we've seen in Costa Rica.

Host Christine was helpful and quick to respond to questions prior and during trip. Property was gorgeous- pictures don’t do it justice. Impeccable sunset views. House was well-equipped with most everything you need. It is a steep, bumpy road up so highly recommend renting a 4x4- taxis are expensive down the hill but we used one several nights for dinner. Beautiful property- I didn’t want to leave!

This home was 10/10 and I would certainly recommend it to anyone looking to stay in Uvita! The pictures don’t do the place justice, as the view is incredible! This place is great if you’re traveling with a group because each room has an incredible view and a bathroom (everyone gets the feeling that they got a great room)! The kitchen is incredibly well stocked, and the beds, sheets, pillows were SO comfortable. The AC and fans in the bedrooms kept it nice and cool, and the host was super responsive. As noted in the description, you do need a 4x4 vehicle as the route to the house is quite steep.

This gorgeous villa sits atop the most amazing view of Cano Island, the Three Sisters and the Osa Peninsula. There are four bedrooms with their own private bathrooms and all rooms have sliding glass doors that look out to the ocean. The infinity pool is a perfect size to swim laps or lounge around. The kitchen and living area are open to the views as well. The kitchen is well stocked with utensils and serving dishes. The gas grill is a real plus as well. We loved our time here and will do our best to return sometime in the near future.

This was my family and I first trip to Costa Rica and it was nothing short of amazing. This property is absolutely stunning talk about million dollar views. Tom and Christine answered any and all questions in a timely manner. Property was spotless beds were probably the most comfortable beds I've slept in on a vacation. If your looking for a house that is private yet not far from stuff to do this is the spot for you. Just make sure if your renting a car it definitely has 4×4 because the road up to the house you will definitely need it.

Magnificent Property - Don’t Miss

The house is located in Ballena up on a mountain, overlooking the thick jungle and the ocean. The birds you will hear and see are amazing. The house is beautiful and spacious with everything you need. Floating out in the pool, watching the view is a memory I will never forget. There’s a toucan, a tiger heron and all kinds of other beautiful birds that come to visit everyday. At Sunset the jungle comes alive and the sounds are other-worldly. The hosts couldn’t be more helpful. My friend and children were equally amazed. Thank you!

Wonderful villa and amazing views

Our family of six had a memorable getaway to this villa in Uvita, Costa Rica, and it exceeded all expectations. Despite the steep drive up, the breathtaking views greeted us with a promise of an unforgettable experience. Uvita's authenticity captivated us, offering an immersion into the heart of Costa Rican culture. The villa itself provided a perfect retreat, allowing us ample space to relax and reconnect amidst the natural beauty of the surroundings.From enjoying leisurely mornings on the terrace overlooking the lush landscape to exploring the wonders of Uvita, every moment was filled with joy and adventure. The villa's charm and comfort, combined with the warmth of the Costa Rican hospitality, made our stay truly exceptional. Our time here created cherished memories that we will treasure for years to come, leaving us eagerly anticipating our next visit to this tropical paradise.

A Slice of Paradise in Costa Rica!From the moment we arrived, this stunning home exceeded every expectation. The views were absolutely breathtaking—so mesmerizing that I found myself taking the same photo over and over again, unable to get enough of the scenery. Whether it was sunrise, sunset, or the golden hour in between, the vistas never got old.The owners clearly poured their hearts into the design. Every detail was thoughtfully curated to maximize the natural beauty surrounding the property. Large windows, perfectly placed seating areas, and open spaces made it feel like nature was part of the home itself. Morning visits from the toucans made morning coffee on the patio an unforgettable memory with sounds of the ocean and the ocean views, just awesome! The pool was huge and had options for lounging or laps. The infinity edge was perfect for lounging and soaking up the ocean views. What truly set this place apart were the personal touches. You can tell the owners went above and beyond to create an unforgettable experience.If you have time and are able, request the waterfall rappelling tour and mangrove kayaking tour. Both were fantastic. Diego and Anner were amazing guides, taking time to explore, enjoy the natural settings, and genuinely good people. If you're looking for a peaceful escape with unbeatable views, pool and a home that feels like a dream, this is it. Costa Rica was amazing—and this house was a huge part of that! Thanks for everything!
