8Artistic Homes w/Garden Oasis, Yoga Shala, Outdoor Dining, 2Tier Pool & IceBath

Welcome to Hotel Balu Junquillal, where luxury and ample amenities seamlessly blend into nature on the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica. We offer 8 independent and unique homes thoughtfully spread throughout a lush tropical garden on a private 2.5-acre lot within the luxurious gated community of Tierra Pacifica in Junquillal. We are only 0.8 miles away from the area's two most private and pristine beaches, Playa Junquillal & Playa Blanca. We've created the perfect oasis in a amazing location for you and your loved ones to enjoy an incredible vacation.

All of our homes surround the heart of our garden oasis, which is designed for large groups to get together, share, & enjoy. Our stunning yoga shala is a carefully designed space where art lives in every detail, raised high off the ground to enjoy the natural breeze and breathtaking garden views. It's the perfect space to host private yoga classes, meditation, massage, cacao ceremonies, full-on dance parties, and even small weddings. Underneath, you can enjoy our outdoor dining space which seats up to 22. A large circular table made of solid Guanacaste wood allows large parties to eat as one. Subtle details like Turkish pillows, surround sound, balanced lighting, and lush jungle create a magical place to enjoy breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It is also a great place to hang out and enjoy coffee from our complimentary espresso machine, swing in one of our hammocks, and relax all day or co-work in paradise.

Our pool was inspired by the natural hot springs of Costa Rica and is truly a work of art. It features mesmerizing turquoise waters, a relaxing waterfall massage, secret caves with real Kundalini crystals, a relaxing patio with a panoramic view of the property, and a secondary pool that can be heated (for an additional fee), all connected by an incredible water slide!

Our property is designed with 1 main house called Casa Coral and 7 other independent homes. Casa Coral offers a large professional kitchen perfect for hiring a private chef that can curate the most delicious meals 3 times a day, 2 master bedrooms with their own en suite bathrooms, 1st and 2nd floor oversized patios and a roof top look-out with breathtaking 360 views of untouched mountains looking East and the Pacific Ocean to the West. There is also a 2 person outdoor tub on the covered 2nd floor patio just outside the master bedroom, an incredible place to relax during sunset or sunrise, in the rain, or on any starry night. With ample space and lots of areas to hang out, its the perfect house for relaxing and hosting.

Each of our 7 independent homes include a fully equipped kitchen or kitchenette, private bathroom, private patio, fast 200 Mbps WiFi service, smart TVs, closet space, an electric safe, a workspace/dining area, and digital door locks that make self-check-in a breeze anytime around the clock. Four of our accommodations (Sirena, Lapa Roja, Tortuga Marina, and Mono Congo) are centered around a large tropical courtyard decorated with lots of large mural paintings and lit with charming string lights at night, creating another magical space for friends and family to gather. Our other four accommodations have gorgeous views of the garden, yoga shala, and pool. Our property is home to families of howler monkeys, tropical birds, butterflies, all of which come to enjoy our thriving garden and wide array of fruit trees. We are known to have the best fresh grapefruits in Guanacaste.

Your stay includes daily housekeeping/laundry and full concierge service to help you coordinate any local services that you may be interested in, such as transportation, horseback riding, hiking and waterfall excursions, surf lessons, yoga and meditation classes, massages, painting classes, and more.

As our guest, you will have full access to Tierra Pacifica's amenity center, Club Arbol. It features another pool, a beautiful three-tier design with a wet bar, infinity edge, and a jacuzzi. This gorgeous space is centered around large majestic trees and colorful flora. The club also offers a full-size tennis and pickleball court, an indoor gym and studio (both with air conditioning), private bathrooms with warm showers, and high-speed WiFi. Tierra Pacifica includes miles of nature trails, tropical forest surroundings, and is steps away from the ocean and the world-class waves of this area.

Playa Junquillal is a beautiful black sand beach, and a world-renowned turtle sanctuary and surf destination. It is just a 15-20 minute walk away through a private nature-dense beach path within our community. The area is private and peaceful while still being very close to many local amenities, such as various grocery stores, several amazing restaurants, and the beaches of Playa Negra, Blanca, and Playa Avellanas. Getting here is easy as we are located only one hour away from the Daniel Oduber Quirós International Airport in Liberia, with paved roads the entire way.

Hotel Balu is ready to welcome you on your next Costa Rican adventure. Pura Vida!
