OCiO Estate, Mal País
Elevated in the tranquil hills of Costa Rica’s Nicoya Peninsula, OCiO Estate stands as a world unto itself — a private haven for families, friends, and intimate groups who seek space, togetherness, and total seclusion.
The estate comprises two distinctive villas, each framed by lush tropical grounds and expansive Pacific panoramas. Crafted from natural materials and guided by local artisanship, every corner feels serene, open, and inseparable from the landscape.
Here, life follows your tempo. Converge by the pool, linger through long afternoons and leisurely evenings, and allow each day to take its own shape.
For those arriving by air, the estate provides the convenience of a private heliport alongside a dedicated team ready to arrange transport, wellness, and bespoke experiences with understated care.
