Casa Bali Luxury Villa• Gym & Large Yoga Shala • 5 min to Sámara Beach • Sleeps 8 • King Beds • 2 kitchens • 1st Complimentary Breakfast
If you prefer to wake up to the sounds of birds and monkeys rather than noisy neighbours and the roar of motorcycles, you will love Casa Bali. Located minutes from the many beautiful beaches around Samara town, this unique estate is set within a lush forest and gardens in the heart of Nicoya’s Blue Zone. Casa Bali is part of "Eden Tropical Retreat", a private estate designed for connection, wellness, and relaxation. 5 minute drive to the beaches, restaurants, and cafés of Sámara, the property offers the rare balance of peaceful seclusion and easy access to town. All bedrooms have KING beds that are easily converting into two twin beds for flexible group dynamics configuration. Every bedroom has its own ensuite bathroom and every room has air conditioning and a fan.
The Casa Bali Experience
Casa Bali is the MAIN villa of Eden Tropical Retreat, offering families and groups of friends a private and immersive tropical experience within a lush forest in the heart of Costa Rica’s Nicoya Blue Zone.
The 2-storey villa blends seamlessly into the natural surroundings. Every bedroom and the living room open onto tropical gardens, expansive decks, and open-air living spaces that invite the surrounding forest inside. Here, indoor comfort blends effortlessly with outdoor living.
Mornings often begin with coffee on the terrace as butterflies drift through the garden, while evenings gather naturally around the outdoor dining table with warm tropical breezes and the sounds of the jungle all around. Enjoy the excitement of the visits by the howler monkeys or the songs of the 35 species of birds visiting every day.
The design of Casa Bali allows groups to spend meaningful time together while still enjoying quiet private suites when rest and solitude are desired.

Ideal for Shared Experiences
Traveling with extended family or friends? You will find Casa Bali is ideal for sharing for parties of 8 people (you can rent the entire Eden estate for larger parties). You will appreciate well appointed bedrooms each with its own ensuite bathroom, a King-size bed that convert into 2 separate Twin XL beds if sharing a bed is not desirable, and a separate entrance with a lock. Need to get some work done or have a call without disturbing others? Every bedroom has a work desk and power for your laptop, and dual internet providers (Starlink & fiber) for speed and reliability.
And when you want to spend time together you will enjoy an expansive deck, have dinner together on our beautiful dining table that can accommodate 10, or have drinks and snacks at the live edge bar with 10 of your friends while enjoying the breathtaking views. Have a swim in your large infinity edge pool or get together in the large (45 sq meter, 485 sq feet) yoga shala (rancho) for a group yoga session.
If you are looking to maintain your exercise routine, you have your own well equipped air conditioned gym that can also be completely open in to the garden; your choice. You can even follow your fitness instructors on the large screen TV in the gym. You don't have to exercise alone as our gym can comfortably accommodate 2 people.
Guests often choose this villa for: • Multi-generational family vacations • Vacations with close friends • Small wellness retreats and workshops
The layout encourages time together while still offering peaceful spaces to relax and recharge.
