OCEAN VIEW RETREAT CENTER | Walk into your new home and start your own retreat business. Private oasis with excellent infrastructure & room for further development

Located just 20 minutes south of the surf town of Dominical and 35 minutes from Quepos/Manuel Antonio, this thriving retreat center and Airbnb rental is perfectly positioned for those seeking both business opportunity and natural serenity. Perched in the mountains above the authentic Costa Rican town of Portalón, the property boasts panoramic ocean views that stretch to the iconic islands of Manuel Antonio National Park.

Set on 4.5 acres of manicured gardens and lush jungle, the land is rich with fruit trees and tropical plants—including bananas, pineapples, plátanos, avocados, pipas (coconuts), ginger, and more—offering excellent potential for organic gardening and self-sustainable living.

Just steps away from the pristine Portalón River and only 10 minutes from the stunning, family-friendly Matapalo Beach, this location is a rare find: peaceful, completely private, and surrounded by protected nature reserves and old-growth forest, yet still easily accessible to Costa Rica’s most visited coastal attractions.

Highlights include:

- A purpose-built yoga deck with panoramic ocean views
- Refreshing pool perfectly positioned to catch the sea breeze and afternoon shade
- A seasonal stream flowing near the yoga deck
- Visits from sloths, toucans, monkeys, butterflies, and even the elusive Jaguarundi
- Naturally cooler mountain climate, ideal for year-round comfort
