Casa Dalila – Your Oceanfront Oasis Awaits

Casa Dalila | An Extraordinary Oceanfront Villa in Santa Teresa

Casa Dalila is one of the most exceptional oceanfront properties in Costa Rica. A rare place where architectural beauty and the energy of the Pacific Ocean meet. Located directly on the beach in the very heart of Santa Teresa, the villa offers a privileged front-row position to surf, sunsets, and the vibrant rhythm of this beloved beach town.

Fully gated for comfort and security, Casa Dalila sits directly on the beachfront in the heart of Santa Teresa. Just steps from restaurants, cafés, and boutiques, its central location allows you to experience the town exactly as it is. Vibrant, walkable, and deeply connected to the ocean.

Designed by world-renowned Costa Rican architect Benjamin Saxe, the home is a masterclass in modern tropical living. Natural materials, clean lines, and expansive open spaces blur the boundary between indoors and outdoors, allowing ocean breezes, natural light, and the sound of waves to flow throughout the villa.

Casa Dalila features four thoughtfully designed bedrooms. Three are luxury ocean-facing suites with king-size beds, each with a private terrace and elegant ensuite bathroom. The fourth bedroom is a dedicated kids’ room with two sets of bunk beds and its own bathroom, making the home ideal for families and multi-generational stays.

The heart of the home is a designer kitchen and indoor living space that opens seamlessly to an outdoor dining area. Perfect for slow breakfasts, shared dinners, and relaxed evenings under the stars. Outside, a beautiful swimming pool invites you to cool off after the beach or a surf session.

One of Casa Dalila’s most special features is its outdoor bathtub, where you can soak beneath the moonlight and stars. A signature barefoot luxury experience.

An ocean-facing sitting area provides a front-row seat to Santa Teresa’s legendary sunsets. Step outside the gate and you are immediately on the sand, with surf breaks suitable for both beginners and experienced surfers.

Casa Dalila offers the unique combination of beachfront living, architectural elegance, and immediate access to everything Santa Teresa is known for.
Oceanfront. Gated. Central. Designed with intention and soul. Casa Dalila is not just a destination — it is an experience.
The villa is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and 4.5 bathrooms, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a private pool, a washing machine, and a coffee maker. Limited housekeeping is available.

Our stay at Casa Dalila with our closest friends was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment you arrive, it’s clear that every detail of this home has been thoughtfully considered. The architecture, gardens, layout, and materials all feel intentional and beautifully executed.The house itself is stunning. Expansive and open, yet perfectly positioned right on the ocean, it manages to feel both luxurious and deeply connected to the natural surroundings. Waking up to the sound of the waves, watching the sunset from the sitting area, and soaking in the outdoor bathtub under the stars were some of the most memorable moments of our stay.The attention to detail throughout the property is truly unmatched, and the service and staff made the experience even better. Everyone was warm, friendly, and incredibly attentive — staying here genuinely felt like being pampered.What surprised us most is that the home actually feels undervalued for what you get. The design, location, and overall experience are world-class. The level of craftsmanship is remarkable — whoever built this clearly knew exactly what they were doing.Nights at Casa Dalila were magical. Sharing dinners with friends, listening to the ocean, and enjoying the peaceful energy of the house made it one of those places you never want to leave.A truly spectacular home and easily one of the most special places to stay in Santa Teresa.We will absolutely be back.
