Costa Rica Mountaintop · Private Resort
Your Costa Rica
Private Resort
Bella Vista is a Costa Rica private resort you rent entirely for your own group — a gated mountaintop estate with 4 private homes that sleep up to 28, a private pool, a volcano jacuzzi, and 4 pickleball courts. Simply the best value — and the most authentic Costa Rica experience — per dollar for weddings, pickleball trips, retreats, and family reunions.
4 Pickleball Courts
4 lit courts reserved just for your group — the only private resort of its kind in Costa Rica.
Sleeps up to 28
10 bedrooms across 4 private homes.
Pool & Volcano Jacuzzi
Private infinity pool and outdoor volcano-style jacuzzi.
Airport Pickup & Care
On-site caretakers handle every detail of your stay.
Bella Vista is a gated mountaintop estate you book for your group alone — no shared pools, no crowds, no strangers. About an hour and a quarter from the San José airport (SJO), it pairs the service of a resort — on-site caretakers, optional home-cooked meals, and airport pickup — with the total privacy of your own property. It's an ideal base for pickleball groups, weddings, retreats, and large family reunions.

The green season
What Costa Rica Is Really Like in the Rainy Season
Ask about the weather and most people picture endless rain. The reality is far more beautiful. From May through November — Costa Rica's green season — the hills around Bella Vista turn impossibly lush, the air smells fresh and alive, and the trees hang heavy with seasonal fruit like mamón chino and mangosteen.
Most mornings are bright and clear, with a warm afternoon shower rolling through to cool things off — so your mornings stay free for adventure and your evenings end with sunsets like this. It's also the quietest, greenest, and most affordable time to come, with our lowest nightly rates of the year. Press play for a green-season evening at Bella Vista.
