If you love pickleball and you love travel, this is the trip you’ve been waiting for.
Welcome to Bella Vista Private Resort — a 2.5-acre mountaintop private resort in the heart of Costa Rica. Located just 1 hour and 20 minutes from the San José airport, this private estate was built for groups who want to play hard, relax deeply, and experience Costa Rica at its best.
Play on Brand-New Pickleball Courts in an Amazing Climate
Our 4 pickleball courts sit at the base of a 2 and 1/2 acre property located between the cities of San Ramon and Esparza. National Geographic once called this area the best climate in the world. The temperature is routinely between 65 degrees for the low and 84 degrees Fahrenheit for the high with an average temperature of 74 degrees. Sometimes it is hard to imagine a perfect place, but after visiting Bella Vista Private Resort, it’s no longer difficult. I know that comes across corny, but once you’re there you’ll experience it yourself. The hardest thing about the experience is when it is time to go home. It’s just so hard to say good bye. So if you want to experience this and if you want to bring others with you, whether you’re hosting a professional clinic or just rounding up friends for a bucket-list getaway, this is the place to do it.
Perfect for Retreat Hosts & Group Trips
Bella Vista comfortably sleeps up to 28 guests across 10 bedrooms and multiple houses — giving everyone privacy, views, and a resort-style experience without being packed into hotel rooms. There a plenty of common areas to sit, relax, and enjoy one another; such as by the pool, or by the gazebo, in the large kitchen and living room areas of the main house, on the outside balconies, in our one-of-a-kind volcano Jacuzzi, or of course, on the courts.
We routinely host:
- Pickleball retreats
- Instructor-led clinics
- Friends & family travel groups
- Birthday/anniversary trips
- Corporate retreats & team-building
If you’re a retreat host or pickleball coach, this property makes your event look and feel world-class, while being super easy to plan, and book.
