When you want PRIVACY, Villa Casa Blanca allows a completely private SANCTUARY just for you, your family and friends - and with the most amazing views stretching from the Cabo Blanco National Park to Samara Beach. Just a minute from the beaches and Santa Teresa.
You will have your private home without neighbors and with the most amazing vistas. Sunsets are magnificent as you sit in the pool or lounge on the terrace enjoy the end of the day. And then the stars! As we are not in Santa Teresa with all the lights, you can enjoy the amazing view of the celestial stars! This is privacy at it's best! And being next to Cabo Blanca National Park, you have the benefits of all that nature bring - monkeys, birds, ocelots, kinkajous, parakeets, toucans and so much more. It's like nature in your backyard.
See all the reviews from our guests - we are what we say and so much more! We provide first class services for our clients and tailor everything to their needs. If you want a chef, a massage at the house, yoga lessons at our yoga cabina, and much more, you just have to ask and we will arrange it all.
Casa Blanca is certainly one of the most desirable houses in Mal Pais/Santa Teresa:
Magnificent 22 meter infinity pool
Outdoor BBQ/Dining patio with Seating for 8 with Sunshade Umbrella.
Separate outdoor Covered Pool Patio with Sunshade Umbrella, benches and pool loungers.
Private Teak/Palm Thatched Massage/Yoga Cabin
and gardens throughout.....
Private Day Bed overlooking the Jungle with beautiful wind chimes.
Private Lower Nature Trail Seating area for great sunrise enjoyment or late afternoon privacy.
And yes, we have our own great WIFI throughout the Villa with Hi Speed Satellite Internet. So, we are not dependent on local connectivity.
And we cater to our clients by providing a Concierge Service that will arrange any and all needs during your stay. Davie and Lisbeth are an amazing team and part of our family. They will leave you in peace, arrange excursions, plan trips and more.
Whether you want to swim laps or just drift in the pool, you will enjoy the serenity and quiet Villa Casa Blanca has to offer.... and with the sound of nature at your doorstep.
Casa Blanca is a very modern two-story house with four spacious bedrooms (all with amazing views) and three exquisite, Italian-tiled bathrooms - all the modern conveniences and designer touches that make each room something very special.
This modern house is just a few minutes from the Mar Azul Beach perched on the hilltop allowing you total tranquility with the most breath-taking views of the Pacific Ocean. Walk up to the third story Roof Terrace (complete with mini-bar) where you can sit and watch the monkeys and reach up and touch the fluffy clouds gently flowing overhead - and at night pluck the stars from the sky.
The House: We were one of the featured houses for 2012 in Central/South America for the Best Design. We are very proud of our architects - Isobel and Rebecca! They've truly designed something that suits the area but is totally modern and spacious - wood floor in bedrooms to be soft on the foot to polished granite floors downstairs making it a very modern look.
The Area: Mal Pais has a wonderful private Swedish Beach nestled quietly next to the Cabo Blanca National Park Entrance. So, if you want to find that secluded beach, this is the place to go. But, there are many other beaches along the coast and each with it's own qualities: Playa Carmen, Playa Mar Azul, Playa Hermosa, Playa Santa Teresa, and Playa Manzanillo.
Just nearby is the Mal Pais Fishing Village where you can either get a boat and go fishing yourself or simply enjoy that catches of the day.... very fresh and tasty and the fishermen will prepare your fish for you.
There are plenty of local restaurants and grocery stores (about 6 - 8 pending season) to choose from. We also have an Organic Market every Saturday afternoon at Playa Carmen.
And of course the beaches are the best in Costa Rica (voted recently). Long, empty stretches of beaches with the best waves for beginners to intermediates. There are fantastic natural tide pools where you can relax and enjoy the warm waters of Costa Rica in peace.
The dining experience of the area ranges from typical Tico food to very special restaurants that serve a fantastic variety of cuisine. We can provide you with a complete list of restaurants in the area. It changes from season to season so be sure to ask the Caretaker (or us) for the latest and greatest.
Activities: You will find an endless amount of things to choose from: Surfing, Swimming, Yoga, Paddle Boarding, Massage, Tai Chai, Capoiera, Hiking in the National Park, Zip Lining above the Montezuma Waterfalls, cliff diving at the Waterfalls, Tortuga Island where you can snorkel and scuba dive, fishing (fantastic and amazing fish), and much, much more.
About Michael Solinger and Juan Carlos Alvarez - Owners
We work in the film industry between London and Los Angeles. Mal Pais attracted us after one visit. The peacefulness, the people, the ocean vistas, the long empty beaches... and the list goes on.
Mal Pais became the obvious choice to escape from work and enter into a paradise where one can reconnect with oneself and enjoy life without the daily stresses of living in a major city.
Michael Solinger and Juan Carlos Alvarez - Owners purchased this villa in 2008
Why Michael Solinger and Juan Carlos Alvarez - Owners chose Puntarenas
The moment we stepped onto the 'plantel', we knew this was it. With amazing ocean vistas, cool breezes, located just next to the National Park. We wanted to find a location that wouldn't be overtaken by future developments, that would retain the beauty of the jungle, that would respect nature whilst building something eco-friendly.
We wanted to create an oasis of paradise with amazing vistas.... and to create a modern, clean home with simple use of concrete and glass (the sea element is harsh on buildings as are termites). So, we created a very clean and modern structure which emphasized the views of the Pacific Ocean and the Cabo Blanco National Park. Beyond that, we wanted to create a home for visitors that would offer all modern conveniences (screen doors, sealed rooms, air-con, modern appliances, fantastic lighting).... and a 22m Lap Pool to exercise, and a Massage/Yoga Cabina to escape. We extended the garden so that those who stay with us can escape to private areas and enjoy the sound of the waves, the sound of the jungle - and the many animals and birds.
What makes this villa unique
Sun, sea, pool, views, beaches! What more :) This Villa give you complete tranquility with amazing vistas in your own private Paradise. It offers you a kitchen/dining environment overlooking the Pacific Ocean. It's a great place to cook, enjoy friends and views. There are many places on the grounds to escape to (Massage Cabina, Lower Garden, Private Jungle Garden, Nature Trail and more).

Reviews
Wonderful!
4.9/5 -
(77 traveller reviews)
Still pinching ourselves!
Casa Blanca is way more than the pictures and written descriptions describe. We traveled to CR for a family vacation. Each of our kids (16 & 18) brought a friend and we invited another couple as well making a party of 8. The home was clean, organized, luxurious and tranquil. Fresh garden flowers throughout. The home owner went out of his way to make sure our questions were answered and travel details in order. We arranged to have the property caregivers cook for us and were blown away. Definitely the frosting on the cake. The meals were as good as any 5 star establishment. Hubby surfs and was on a mission to find the perfect wave. While doing so we managed to see the most amazing beaches, went deep sea fishing, zip lining and enjoyed sunsets every night from the patio. Each of us give a thumbs up to anyone considering this hidden gem. We're planning our return trip already. LOVE< LOVE< LOVE!!!
A perfect Escape!
Casa Blanca, WOW! If you are in search of a place to escape to, then this has to be it! We had a fabulous holiday here at Christmas with our 2 teenage children and we all absolutely loved it!
The house is set up on a high hill side, towards Mal Pais, so a bit more out of the main town and shops, but near the harbour where you can buy fish just off the boats or arrange to go fishing. The road is steep in places and a bit of a drive so you will have to have atv or 4x4. But it is SO worth it as you arrive at the house you realise the views of the sea and the surrounding jungle are just stunning. And the total privacy and peace and quiet are utter bliss.
The house is set in it's own little lush oasis and there are lots of lovely different plants and trees. The whole house is vey eco friendly. It is perfectly laid out with 3 bedrooms upstairs and 1 bedroom downstairs right by the pool.The bedrooms are very comfy we slept very well indeed and the bathrooms are big and bright with an amazing amount of towels!
The kitchen has everything you would need and more, which was a huge bonus as we love to cook! Also you can drink the purified water here, which was so much nicer than having to buy bottled water, and we loved the ice making machine!
The pool was perfect for those morning and evening laps or just bobbing around in the cushion chairs supplied, enjoying the fabulous views!
Thank you Mike for all your help and advice with booking and arrangements it was much appreciated and hope to see you in London soon! And thanks to Davie and Lisabth who looked after us so well, so kind and unobtrusive, but there to help when ever we needed. We loved having Bruno the dog with us, he made us all smile, he is such a character!
We had a wonderful holiday at Casa Blanca and were very sad indeed when it was time to leave this gorgeous place.
Enjoy the sunsets, they don't get much better than this! : )
True Bliss
"Dream Vacation" is an understatement. Casa Blanca is a slice of heaven. This was our second visit and I cannot believe it could get any better. The rooms are thoughtfully designed, with super comfortable beds, great AC, all with beautiful views. Yes, the panoramic and priceless ocean view is seductive, but don't overlook that jungle view. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you could imagine, even a juicer. Do yourself a favor and enjoy fresh tropical juices everyday...just add sunshine and tequila. Have Davie and Elizabeth cook for you. You won't find a better or more thoughtful meal. They even made me a birthday cake and tracked down dried hibiscus on request. (And yes, there are some great restaurant options nearby)
They've thought of everything here with a terrific sound system, and poignant lighting.
All of our needs and desires were met with ease and speed, including, atvs waiting for us upon arrival...the only way to get around if you are an adventure seeker! I loved it so much our first visit a few years back that I immediately retained a motorcycle license once back in NYC. Not to worry, if that isn't your speed, a 4WD rental will do.
Spend your mornings bird watching, iguana spotting, and banana picking, or jogging in the hills. Spend your afternoons sunning, swimming and snoozing in the many relaxing areas: the sea view hammock, jungle view daybed, conversation pit and patio, or the floating tent. See every single stunning sunset, the top deck is like a crow's nest. Then spend the evenings star gazing at a studded, twinkly sky.
This spot may be hard to get to, but you'll be rewarded in privacy and luxury. This property has it all. You won't want to leave.
Casa Blanca
Great home with beautiful views. The pool and lounge areas are especially nice and the way the entire west walls open up to the pool and sunsets is awesome . Also, the kitchen is equipped with everything we needed so we really enjoyed great meals and lived like we were home. Davie and Lizbeth, the caretakers, were as nice as could be and the bonus of the handsome dog Bruno made us feel right at home. We would highly recommend Casa Blanca. Perfect right down to the linens and very comfortable beds.
Stop Looking. There's No Better Place Than This.
Villa Casa Blanca is gorgeous. It's immaculate, well furnished, tastefully decorated, perfectly maintained and it has the best view from the hills above Mal Pais that you can get. Just look at the pictures! Yet pictures don't do justice to the lovely sunsets, the sparkling sea, the long stretch of beach and the rich shades of jungle green that you see from Casa Blanca.
Seven of us showed up for a week at the end of June: three 50+ parents, two 25-year-old and two 18-year-old offspring. Davie and Liz, the caretakers who live a scant 5 minutes away were there to welcome us and to answer any questions we had about Casa Blanca and about the activities available in the Puntarenas area. It turns out that they keep the house clean and are available to provide excellent meals if you pay for the groceries. They were able to provide pretty much whatever we wanted such as ATV rentals, directions to (and the best times for) the best beaches and restaurants.
And there were some excellent restaurants in this out-of-the-way part of Puntarenas. The roads aren't paved and you need 4 wheel drive to get around, and there are jungle animals and birds all around, but there are hard-working Ticos (Costa Ricans) and ex-pats of numerous nationalities that give you an international choice of breakfast, lunch, dinner along with bars, water activities, jungle treks, horseback riding and lots of other good stuff.
Of course, you can choose to stay at Casa Blanca to eat, swim, listen to music, watch movies, watch hundreds of butterflies, a few iguanas, and gorgeous sunsets and seascapes. The house is equipped with all the conveniences of modern living.
One more thing. The owner Mike is a great guy. He seems willing to do whatever is needed to make sure that everything will go smoothly for his guests. He emailed us a complete brochure detailing schedules, directions, restaurants and the activities/attractions available in the Puntarenas peninsula. Although he was busy working in London, he made his phone number and email address available to us and was on call to make sure that nothing went wrong with our trip. He didn't have to do that. He's an extremely gracious person and I've never met a more accommodating property owner.
I could go on and on, but I think you get the idea. You will find it very, very hard to leave Casa Blanca. I am really stoked on this place and will be back. I very highly recommend to you both the Villa and the Mal Pais/Santa Teresa area.
Our stay was always amazing!
This was our second visit and stayed the same place. This time we rented the house for the whole month of August. Davie and his wife always there when you needed them. We are looking to go back next year again.
Thank you Mike!

Our goal is to make you relax and feel totally safe in our Villa which has the most amazing views of anyone in Mal Pais.
