About this property

Luxury Boutique Villa, Total Privacy, Amazing Views, 22m Infinity Pool

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 with sunsets that will leave you breathless. We are just a minutes from the beaches and Santa Teresa. This Villa provides you complete privacy without any neighbors and is one of the most modern Villas in the area. The Villa is located just minutes away from all the restaurants and groceries stores. We can help you arrange all activities including recommending private chefs. The Villa is very secure and gated property with remote gate opener, alarm system, and security fencing.

You will have your private home without neighbors and with the most amazing vistas. Sunsets are magnificent as you sit in the 22m pool or on the pool lounge to enjoy the end of the day. 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 brings to this area - monkeys, birds, ocelots, kinkajous, parakeets, Jaguaraundi, Toucans and so much more. It's like nature in your backyard.

See all the reviews from our guests - we are what we say we are and so much more. We provide a first class services for our clients and tailor everything to their needs. Simply as us any questions and we will help you. If you want a chef, a massage, yoga lessons, etc., 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 Gas BBQ and Green Egg 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
Garden Path to the Lower Bamboo Garden - Tranquil
Garden Path through the Passion Fruit Archway - Great Vista
Garden Path to the Lower Jungle Area - Citrus and Fruits
And a private outdoor gym with kettlebells, dumbells, pull up/dip bars, and more.
And the gardens throughout are 15 years in growing with many fruits and many varieties of palms, heliconias, ginger - we've planted over 1,000 plants and many different varieties. It's a paradise for those who love plants..... and of course the wildlife love it too!
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. We are not dependent on local connectivity which means when there are power outages, we are not affected. The house is equipped with Solar Power throughout and back up battery (up to 10 hours if there'a an outage in the are). LWhen the rest of the area looses power, Casa Blanca provides you with WIFI, TV/Cable, Fridge, Water and necessary lighting.

If you need anything, just ask us and we can plan and set this up for you in advance if you like. Our Caretaker can help you locally with any rentals and activities.

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. The rooms have ITunes, Cable, TVs, Air-Conditioning, WIFI.

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 - Playa Seuco - 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 each morning and afternoon.... the fish are fresh and the will filet and prepare this for you a you need.

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 we have an Organic Grocery in Santa Teresa - GREEN WORLD.

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 - Mexican, French, Fusion Japanese, Asian Cuisine, Indian Cuisine, Italian Cuisine and much more.. 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.

Nothing is better than Casa Blanca in Mal Pais and Santa Teresa. You've arrived at the Villa that has the best views and the best facilities!

Paradise!!
We have stayed at Casa Blanca several times and each year gets better! This year the pool has totally been retiled (beautiful infinity pool) and there is an additional pellet ice maker, along with the large cube icemaker that never goes empty! The caretakers Eduardo and Maria will cater to your every need and I highly recommend having them make dinner or afternoon drinks for you (ask for the passionfruit margarita). Also ask Eduardo to book a massage under the cantilevered cliff side canopy overlooking the ocean. Casa Blanca is incredibly safe (as is Mal Pais), with a security gate, non-obtrusive fencing around the property and our favorite security guard-Lucy the house dog. She will keep the iguanas away from the pool and is gentle and sweet as can be. Words cannot express how great this paradise is!

This was our 9th trip to Casa Blanca and we have already started planning our next trip back! If you are coming to Santa Teresa/Mal Pais this is the best property! The pool, landscaping and views of the ocean are incredible. You have everything that you need at the house. It is fun to explore the area but we always look forward to coming back to Casa Blanca! The owners and caretakers of the house have become family and this has become our home away from home. It is the most special place!

Tranquility
My family (wife and 4 kids ages 17, 19, 21 and 23) had a wonderful stay at Casa Blanca from late December through the New Year. The experience started within days of confirming our reservation, with the host Mike reaching out and sending a comprehensive package on the house, the local area things to do and restaurant recommendations. The whole team was very helpful with the pre-arrival arrangements and great suggestions for transportation and activities and Mike made himself available for a call to talk through details of the trip. All the recommendations and events that the team provided were perfect and helped make the entire trip a hit for the whole family. Some of the highlights were the great restaurant recommendations, fishing trip, surf lessons and snorkeling. Quad bikes (highly recommended) were a fun way to move around town and explore the area. The house and setting were even more beautiful than depicted in the pictures and provided a relaxed environment with plenty of privacy and a great roof-top deck to watch the sunset and do some star gazing. Equally as important, Eduardo and Maria were great in their caretaker roles in being attentive and responsive, but unobtrusive. They also cooked for us at the house and provided one of the best traditional Costa Rican meals we had the whole trip. We will definitely be back!

We arrived back to Casa Blanca. It amazes us each time we return. The Villa simply gets better each year with new surprises. And the garden is truly a botanical experience which attracts so many wonderful animals, birds and other wild life. Magic. After a week, we feel blissful and ready for 2024. Thanks Maria and Eduardo.

Even better than the pictures!
The home is truly stunning with breathtaking ocean views from the moment you walk in the front door! The floor to ceiling glass doors allow you to enjoy unobstructed ocean and jungle views as you look out over the full length horizon pool (which is perfect for lap swimming)! The yoga chalet and wind chimes create a peaceful environment in which to mediate and practice yoga. You have complete privacy to enjoy the ocean views from the outdoor showers, too, while listening to the sounds of exotic birds and monkeys and watching beautiful butterflies and hummingbirds fly around the tropical flowers in the lush gardens. Their restaurant recommendations were spot on too, as we particularly enjoyed Katana and Koji's for dinner and The Bakery for breakfast. We will definitely stay here again and would recommend it to anyone looking for a truly "top of the world" experience in Santa Teresa/Mal Pais.

Another year in paradise
We have been staying at Casa Blanca for 9 years and we would never stay anywhere else! It is incredibly relaxing and quiet but Santa Teresa and Mal Pais are a very short drive from the house for incredible restaurants, grocery stores and shopping. Everything at Casa Blanca is top-notch and extremely well taken care of. The landscaping, jungle views and ocean views are beyond beautiful! Michael, Juan Carlos, Eduardo, Maria, Marvin and Junior have all become family to us❤️. And Lucy is the best dog and such a joy to have at the house.

Home away from home
We have been staying at Casablanca for the last nine years and can't wait to come back. Eduardo and family that care for the house make sure we are comfortable and well fed! When leaving the house for a 5 minute trip to either Mal Pais or Santa Theresa (both incredible), we are always excited to get back and enjoy the long, infinity pool overlooking the ocean for sunset. The rooftop has 360 degree views of the jungle and ocean and is great for stargazing. Other items that some travelers take for granted are plumbing (water is incredible out of the tap- reverse osmosis ), lighting and great air-conditioning. The Sonos sound system is a new addition this year, as the owners are constantly updating amenities. We have traveled all over the world for the last 30 years and this by far our favorite warm weather destination. Thank you for everything!

Paradise in Costa Rica
An architecturally stunning villa just minutes from the beach with views to die for. We have rented villas in Santa Teresa and Mal Pais and this if by far the best. Michael/Juan and the amazing team of Lourdes/Eduardo looked after every detail to help us enjoy the most of our trip. The rooms are spacious, air-conditioned and the kitchen has everything you would ever need. Not to mention the outdoor BBQ with Green Egg and Gas BBQ. One of the most enjoyable things for us was that the villa is completely private without any neighbors …. only the sounds of the jungle and the waves from the beach. There are many private areas around the property to enjoy - pool lounge, day bed, massage cabin and more. The owners clearly take pride in their jungle garden. We would definitely recommend this modern villa for anyone who really wants to get away and enjoy vistas with amazing sunsets from the infinity pool - a lap pool at that. We enjoyed cooking with Lourdes and leaning new recipes - an amazing cook. We will definitely be coming back.

Spectacular!
Casa Blanca exceeded our very high expectations. We stayed for an entire month and had different sets of friends join us each week. The house is absolutely stunning, with one of the best lap pools I've ever seen and an endless series of "Rothko-esque" sunsets that mesmerized us daily. Eduardo and Lourdes, who run the property and are related to the owners, were helpful, but never intrusive. This is the owners' dream home and it shows in terms of thoughtfulness and detail. It is starkly modern, but also warm and comfortable. The bedrooms are not all equal to one another, but I don't think anyone minded. We also felt completely safe the entire time. The house is accessible by a remarkably rough road and you will need an SUV to get there. Once inside the gate, though, you are in a private heaven. Casa Blanca is an absolutely great house. I communicated a lot with one of the owners and we were like old friends by the end. He couldn't have been more accommodating. I have nothing negative to say about the month other than warn future guests that they have to get up the road and the bedrooms are uneven in size and amenities. Those are remarkably insignificant negatives. We would rent here again in a nanosecond. I'd give this house six stars if I could.

Totally amazing place
This house is paradise. The views are crazy beautiful. Evertyrhing works (but the toaster) - the outdoor space has many different hang out places that provides privacy and different type of view, from ocean to jungle. The BBQ area is perfect. We enjoyed doing yoga in both deck, swim laps in the pool, running down and up hill. We cooked our meals in the kitchen and had beautiful sunset drinks. The decor is personal and welcoming. The outdoor showers a must do. The owner was super helpful and I wish we had more time to get more organized to try,all their suggestions. Santa Teresa is 15 min away. Not a big deal but you do want to go down hill more than twice a day’ We will recommend that place to all our friends.

Outstanding in every way... Pure Vida Paradise!
This is my first VRBO review as my wife usually does it but I feel obliged to write his one. This property is the best VRBO I've ever stayed at and we've been to many. Felt like rock stars! Exceptional value. View of the Pacific over the infinity pool is stunning.. Property is amazing. Kudos to the architect. Saw birds every morning thanks to the many trees that the owner planted. Thank you Adam B (prior review) for recommending Quads (ATV's). I'll never go to vacation in CR again without getting them. Michael arranged two quads to be there for our arrival and to be picked up for our departure. They were so much fun and perfect for getting to and from the property and exploring various parts of the area. We visited several beaches, water falls, saw monkeys, all kinds of wildlife, etc. Michael set up breakfast with Lordes which was amazing. Her husband Eduardo took care of everything we needed on site. Really nice genuine good people. Michael set up dinners through Aaron who sent his chef Mario to cook for us 2 nights. Ceviche was the best we've ever had.. especially the one with various fruits mixed in. They fish almost daily so the fish dinners were super fresh! The a/c's in the bedrooms are connected to the doors so remember the doors have to be closed for the a/c's to stay on. Michael helped us with that as we're from New Orleans and need our AC. The living room is not climate controlled but the walls of doors open fully provided a good breeze and when we needed cooling off the pool was outstanding! So nice to be able to swim at any hour. Outside shower overlooking the Pacific was wonderful. Security was excellent, alarm, cameras, serious entry gate with code to enter/exit. I see why so many people stay at this wonderful home multiple times. We can't wait to be in that number!! This is what Pure Vida is all about! Thank you for sharing your wonderful home with us. Never saw 102 five star reviews before but now I know why... delighted to be 103!! Cheers!

Thanks beautiful Casa Blanca for an amazing experience! From check-in to final moments our stay was truly 5-Star! The property, the grounds, the great service, and….the views! OMG!!!!...the sunsets are truly staggering. I can’t imagine a better vibe ANYWHERE. Travelers seeking quiet solitude or home-base for a group of eight, this is truly a first class experience.

About the host

Hosted by Michael Solinger and Juan Carlos Alvarez - Owners

Host profile image
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.

Why they chose this property

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 property 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).
