Location

Casa Marea Alta is nestled at the bottom of 800 acres of privately owned rainforest and sits directly in front of an uncrowded world class beach break. It is located at the very end of the road on the pacific coast of Costa Rica. Literally, you can not drive further, the road ends at the beach and the jungle. Being so far away, makes this place uniquely special. There is less tourism influence and more of that well-known Pura Vida vibe. Punta Banco is a small village of about 80-100 families who live there year-round. About six kilometers from there is the famous surfing town of Pavones. Spend a few days down there, and you’ll know what it truly means to unwind and disconnect. With epic uncrowded waves and beautiful lush rainforest, you’ll always have something to do, see, and talk about.
