A Gensler-designed retreat where the jungle meets the Pacific, with a private pool and views that never get old.

Inside Casa Xelva

Casa Xelva is a Santa Teresa luxury villa that brings architecture and nature together. Set above the coastline, the villa opens toward sweeping Pacific views and connects its indoor living spaces naturally with the outdoors.

Located in one of Costa Rica’s most sought-after coastal destinations, Casa Xelva gives guests easy access to world-class surf, dining, wellness, and the energy of Santa Teresa. At the same time, its elevated setting offers the privacy and calm of a secluded retreat.

Every stay at Xelva begins with the way you want to experience Santa Teresa. Our dedicated concierge can keep things completely private or help create a more curated stay. In addition, guests can arrange private chefs, in-villa dining, transportation, wellness sessions, and local experiences according to their plans and preferences.

Nothing follows a fixed formula. Instead, the experience adapts to you.
