The experience

A week where the whole group
finally exhales

You walk through the front door and something shifts. The villa opens into a soaring great room, light pouring in from every direction, the kitchen already stocked, the pool shimmering just beyond the glass. Everyone spreads out, finds their space, and the group chat goes quiet. That is the point of this place.

Every bedroom has its own private bathroom, its own bay window with a reading nook, and direct access to the patio. No one is fighting for the shower. No one is sleeping on a pull-out. You brought 16 people to Costa Rica and everyone is comfortable.

Our concierge handles the details and the housekeeper handles the rest. Your only job is to decide whether the pool or the beach comes first.

Location

Inside one of Costa Rica's most exclusive communities

Hacienda Pinilla sits on the northern Pacific coast of Guanacaste, 25 minutes from Liberia International Airport. It is one of the most sought-after gated communities in the country, home to the JW Marriott and three of the region's finest beaches.

Casa Bonita Beach is a five-minute walk from Playa Bonita, a secluded cove accessible only to guests inside the gates. The community is quiet, secure, and genuinely private in a way that public beaches in Costa Rica simply cannot be.
