Hide away among the jungle canopy at the splendid ocean-view Casa Colibri. Located within a prestigious gated community, this contemporary villa invites up to ten guests to explore the stunning coastline and jungles of Bahía Ballena. You'll feel pleasantly isolated while still enjoying the amenities and dynamic dining scenes in the laid-back beach towns of Dominical and Uvita - each less than a 15-minute drive along the coast.

The villa also places you just a few minutes' drive from the surfing mecca of Playa Hermosa, where your dedicated concierge can organise expert surfing tuition - or if you're an experienced surfer, hang ten on the bigger waves at nearby Dominical. This hipster surf town features colourful market stalls selling local produce, wood carvings, and traditional jewellery. Casa Colibri looks out onto Marino Ballena National Park, famed for its 'whale tail' sand bank and superb whale and dolphin spotting tours.

Soaring white walls and high ceilings create a profound sense of space in the sweeping open-plan living area at Casa Colibri. After busy beach days, take the weight off, sink into the plush sofa and enjoy a cocktail or two - try guaro, the local spirit made from sugar cane. You'll feel inspired to rustle up Caribbean treats in the sophisticated marble island kitchen, then recount your day's adventures around the rustic wooden dining table.

Blissful relaxation awaits in the villa's four bright and airy bedrooms. Each restful room boasts a floating king-size bed with an ornately carved headboard and a divine private balcony for romantic breakfasts and nightcaps under the stars. The boutique ensuites refresh with powerful rainfall showers, and an inviting al fresco bathroom awaits for restorative soaks in the freestanding tub.

A beautiful infinity pool with Bali-style tiles forms the focal point of the villa's enviable outdoor space. Up among the treetops, you'll bask on the poolside sun loungers with macaws flying overhead and monkeys swinging through the trees. A lavishly furnished outdoor lounge, accessed through glass sliding doors, curates the desirable indoor-outdoor experience for effortless entertaining at the magical Casa Colibri.
