We think we’ve created something truly magical: a private compound on the edge of an unspoiled town. It combines luxury and authenticity, providing the best of both worlds.

Our goal is to pamper while sharing an authentic Costa Rican experience. 

We overlook a Blue-Flag near deserted beach, a five minute walk down the hill.

The local flora and fauna is part of the magic. On the property we frequently welcome toucans, hummingbirds, and macaws, who announce themselves enthusiastically.

Butterflies, iguanas and yes, even the occasional sloth steal some time in the fruit trees.

Skinny dip in the saltwater pool, re-energize in the cold-plunge, take a nap in a hammock with no disturbances, ask your personal concierge to have dinner brought in. 

When you’re guests at Stealing Time, you’re our only guests.
