The Place

A private hillside estate where pool, foliage, and Pacific light stay in the same frame

Mar y Selva feels more residential than hotel-like. The setting is elevated, the pace is slower, and the estate is organized so arrival, downtime, and shared spaces all feel easy to understand.

Days can stay simple here: breakfast in the open air, long hours by the pool, beach or waterfall plans when you want them, and a calmer return in the evening.

What Makes It Different

More distinctive than a standard room booking in town

The appeal is straightforward: a private hillside setting, a pool terrace with a clear sense of place, and enough structure for both individual casa stays and full-estate use.

See experiences and nearby rhythm
01

Pool terrace with ocean horizon

The pool terrace gives the estate its center of gravity, making the stay feel more intentional than a scattered lodging setup.

02

A consistent casa format across the estate

The casas follow a shared layout language, which makes the property easier to book, easier to understand, and calmer to move through.

03

Strong for private buyouts and retreats

The estate reads as one place, which makes group stays, celebrations, and hosted retreats feel much more premium and coherent.

04

Close to Marino Ballena and the southern Pacific coast

Whale watching, waterfalls, beaches, and wildlife remain close, but the stay itself feels removed enough to be restorative.

How to Stay

Private casa stays, with the option to reserve the full estate
