BAHÍA BALLENA
Described by many as the “Best 25 mile corridor” in Central America, Bahia Ballena is a unique spot where the rainforest meets the Ocean. There are hidden treasures throughout the Bahia Ballena region of Costa Rica. Rushing rivers, majestic waterfalls, sun drenched beaches, and jungle covered mountains that drop right into the Pacific Ocean are all found in this natural paradise. Bahia Ballena, also known as “Costa Ballena” was named by locals because of the whales that mate off the coast of Bahia Ballena between the months of December and April.
It is described by many as one of the most biologically diverse areas in the world, with breathtaking beaches and fantastic views. Located in the southern Puntarenas province, this corridor includes the villages of Dominical, Uvita and Ojochal, all gravitating around the unique Marino Ballena National Park.

The town of Uvita is 3 miles from our project site. Uvita has direct access through two main excellent roads – coast or mountain. Its approximate driving time from the capital is 3:15 minutes or 125 miles/220km away – very confortable & safe drive on the new highway (Costanera). It is also well connected from various capital airports (international & municipal) daily flights, averaging 34 minutes of flight time from San Jose.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
OUR VISION
Finca Ron Ron resort is located in a hidden natural treasure, to become a vanguard “greenfield” development opportunity. The project mission is to build an extraordinary Eco-luxury, jungle-loft and ocean views resort in the Southern Pacific region of Costa Rica, Bahia Ballena.
This location is home to the largest area of protected lands, designated to parks and natural reserves.
Finca Ron Ron’s modern architectural design revolves around natural forms and materials that blend seamlessly with exotic botanical gardens. A series of Eco-friendly structures will be built by applying low- impact construction. They will be respectfully integrated, accommodating and working with the natural landscape.
The seven jungle-loft homes will contain 2 and 3 bedrooms/bathrooms and will be powered with smart management platforms. Each home will be equipped with remote smart monitoring systems, off-grid renewable energy system, composting & fresh water filtration systems, air-conditioning, among others.
OUR GOAL
The investment opportunity relates to the real-estate development of Finca Ron Ron. Seven units will be built using an eco-luxury, tree-house alike architectural design.
The units will be rented using a vacation model for one of the world’s most popular tourist markets in the Americas. Our focus is on delivering a proper ty with a low-carbon-footprint , a state of-the-art residential oasis. These will provide immediate access to guests to tropical fauna, nature paths and river/waterfalls observatories.

Request latest technical Brief
FIRST MODEL OF OUR NATURE INTEGRATED HOME
We present our testing unit Home, integrated, fully sustainable home on current property.
As an overview our concept is for all built homes to flow in nature (minimum earth movement), fully integrating into environment/rain-forest, all based on modular luxury designs and fully renewable energy based.
The resort will blend into the terrain to maximize the 360 degree views of the surrounding rain forest and ocean beyond Finca Ron Ron will provide a barefoot-luxury, private haven in the midst of raw nature. The Eco-lodge community will be connected by low-impact electric vehicle paths, lounging areas and observatories overlooking the many nature-trails within the property.
The project team has carried out years of research and carried out advanced and detailed on-site planning consisting of: a pre-master plan, pre-architectural layouts, site topography and an Eco-integration concept based on a solid vacation rental/hotel market study conducted by internal and external professionals, which are all integrated into the financial plan.
Conservative assumptions are built in to our modeling to ensure investment accuracy in the expected returns.
WE ARE FULLY COMMITTED TO HELP CREATE A UNIQUE RAIN FOREST NATURAL RESERVE
As part of our commitment to the environment, this project will help create a new natural reserve. Approximately 300 acres/120 hectares of the property (or about 70%) will be set aside as a natural reserve, with conservation programs, natural hiking trails and meditation spots for connecting and interacting with nature without even leaving the property. This project contributes immensely to carbon credit generation and lowering our foot-print.
The building process will be environmentally responsible and resource-efficient throughout the entire project’s life- cycle of design, construction and maintenance. Advances in technology have improved the efficiency of solar power systems, wind turbines, water catchment and reverse osmosis systems.
Characteristics of the site will include the following to ensure a reduced impact to the environment:
- Solar and wind generated power will be used throughout the resort
- Each estate will be self-sufficient with water, power and sewer
- All vehicles will be electric powered on the site
- Hydroponic farming
- Efficiently using energy, water, and other resources
- Protecting occupant health and improving employee productivity
- Reducing waste, pollution and environmental degradation through responsible activities and active recycling.
Informational materials in each estate and in common facilities will explain the significance of the UNESCO’s World Heritage sites.
THE FINAL PRODUCT: OUR BAREFOOT LUXURY ARCHITECTURAL ECO-RESORT DESIGN
The architecture will offer drama of form and texture with interiors that transition seamlessly with exterior spaces. By connecting a series of smaller forms, our villas will blend into the landscape and maximize views of the surrounding rain forest and ocean beyond. Drawing upon the natural traits of the property and the region, our home designs will blend natural and modern design to provide a private haven. Our homes will set a new standard for the region.
