Area
Perched high above the Pacific Ocean on a rainforest-cloaked ridge between Jacó and Herradura, Villa Caletas offers one of the most iconic views in Costa Rica. This mountaintop retreat is both dramatic and romantic—ideal for couples, honeymooners, and aesthetes looking for a singular experience on the Central Pacific. From its lofty perch, the property gazes out across the Gulf of Nicoya and crescent-shaped beaches below, where fiery sunsets are a nightly performance.

Design & Vibe
A blend of tropical Victorian elegance and neoclassical grandeur, Villa Caletas is anything but ordinary. Think: balustraded terraces, towering columns, marble statues, wrought iron balconies, and a Greco-Roman-meets-rainforest aesthetic. This is old-world opulence with a wild Costa Rican twist—where parrots call from the trees as you sip champagne on a colonnaded terrace. It’s bold, theatrical, and unapologetically romantic.

Rooms & Suites
Each room is designed to impress—ornate four-poster beds, mosaic floors, dark wood furnishings, and antique-style accents. Suites offer private terraces with sea views, outdoor jacuzzis, or plunge pools, while the exclusive Zephyr Palace (on the same estate) takes luxury to the next level with individually themed suites inspired by global design—Egyptian, Oriental, African, and more.

Dining
The hotel’s Anfiteatro Restaurant is as unforgettable for its panoramic views as its cuisine. Set on an open-air terrace, it’s the perfect place to catch sunset cocktails or an elegant dinner under the stars. The menu leans Mediterranean with a Costa Rican twist—fresh seafood, rich sauces, and creative plating. Mirador Restaurant offers a more intimate experience with French-Central American fusion, fine wines, and decadent desserts.

Experiences
• Infinity pool with sweeping ocean views and a waterfall feature
• Private beach, reached via jungle shuttle (secluded and beautifully rugged)
• Full-service spa, offering body wraps, volcanic stone massages, and facials
• Fitness center, rainforest hikes, horseback rides, and canopy tours available through concierge
• Regular live music and cultural events in the hotel’s open-air amphitheater

Weddings & Romance
Villa Caletas is a coveted venue for Costa Rica weddings thanks to its showstopping amphitheater and ocean-view terraces. Ceremonies here feel cinematic—with sunsets, string quartets, and candlelit dinners in the jungle. Whether you’re eloping or hosting a full destination wedding weekend, this setting is magic.

Why Book
Villa Caletas is ideal for travelers who crave drama, decadence, and a hint of the fantastical. It’s not your average beach resort—it’s a destination in itself. Expect Instagram-worthy moments at every turn, white-glove service, and a setting that truly stuns. Perfect for a luxurious romantic escape or a destination celebration with flair.
