Acqua Blu – The Crown Jewel of Escaleras

High above the Pacific, where the emerald ridges of Escaleras embrace the sea, stands Acqua Blu, a residence unlike any other in Costa Rica. Completed in December 2025, this architectural masterpiece marries block, steel, stone, and glass in perfect harmony, a vision of modern elegance set within the raw beauty of the jungle.   

A Grand Entrance

A custom pivoting steel door opens to a shimmering pond water feature, a tranquil prelude to the wonders within. The floating staircase, masterfully crafted elevates you into the expansive residence. From the moment you step inside, the villa reveals its artistry: entire walls of custom fabricated minimalist glass retract to erase boundaries, uniting the refined interiors with the sweeping deck, the infinity-edge saltwater pool, and the endless horizon of the Pacific Ocean.

Crafted Perfection

Every surface tells a story of excellence. Spanish anti-slip tile floors provide elegance and comfort underfoot. Electric custom shades move with quiet precision. At night, an LED lighting system transforms the home into a constellation of light, glowing softly against the rainforest backdrop.

Private Sanctuaries

Five-bedroom suites, each with its own five-piece bathroom, are retreats of serenity, where every window captures both ocean and jungle. From the canopy, toucans call. Scarlet macaws flash their wings in the sky. Here, every awakening is a moment in nature’s theater.

Indulgence & Wellness

Acqua Blu was built not only for living, but for thriving:

·       A chef’s kitchen with Invisacook induction and double stainless refrigerators.

·       A lounge and bar with billiards, rivaling the finest private clubs.

·       A wellness center with gym, cold plunge, steam, and sauna.

·       A 360° infinity pool and 10-person jacuzzi, finished with imported natural stones from Indonesia.

·       A sunken fire pit for fifteen, where flames rise against the vast night sky.

Masterfully Appointed

No expense was spared. Every piece of furniture was custom made in Costa Rica and Bali, with materials and fabrics chosen to endure the climate of the Southern Pacific. The villa is crowned with a standing seam insulated steel roof, built strong against rain and sun alike. Lush gardens, both inside and out, bring nature into every corner of the home, including a soaring second-level atrium.

A Rare Jewel

Set on 5,500 m² (1.36 acres), with a villa of 13,000 sq ft Acqua Blu is more than a home. It is a stage for nine months of sunsets each year, a sanctuary alive with birds, monkeys, and the rhythms of the jungle.  The ideal elevation of 1300 feet ensures year round breezes and sets the stage for the most magical vistas.

It is a one-of-a-kind estate — perhaps the most beautiful in Costa Rica, and one of the few in the world that unites so many rare luxuries under one roof. A place where nature and design are not divided, but seamlessly whole.

Perched within the legendary mountain enclave of Escaleras, where the jungle-clad ridges of Costa Rica’s Southern Pacific descend dramatically into the endless blue of the Pacific Ocean, Acqua Blu rises as a triumph of architecture, luxury, and emotion. This is not merely a residence. It is a private sanctuary in the sky — a home created for those who seek beauty beyond comparison, privacy without compromise, and a life immersed in nature’s most extraordinary spectacle.

Completed in 2025, Acqua Blu stands proudly among the most prestigious addresses in all of Costa Rica. Escaleras has long been revered by discerning international buyers for its unmatched elevation, year-round breezes, and panoramic whitewater ocean views stretching from the Whale’s Tail to the distant Osa Peninsula. Here, luxury estates are hidden among the rainforest canopy, where scarlet macaws soar overhead and sunsets paint the horizon in impossible shades of gold, crimson, and violet for nearly nine months of the year.

From the moment of arrival, Acqua Blu captivates the senses. A custom pivoting steel entrance door opens onto a serene reflecting pond, offering a quiet and elegant introduction to the masterpiece beyond. Floating effortlessly above the water feature, a sculptural staircase ascends into a residence where architecture and nature exist in perfect harmony.

Inside, walls of custom minimalist glass disappear entirely, dissolving the boundaries between interior and exterior living. The result is breathtaking — an uninterrupted flow from the sophisticated indoor spaces to the expansive terraces, the 360-degree infinity-edge saltwater pool, and the vast Pacific horizon beyond. Every room is alive with sunlight, ocean breezes, and the sounds of the jungle below.

Crafted from block, steel, stone, and glass, Acqua Blu was designed with uncompromising attention to detail. Spanish anti-slip tile floors provide understated elegance beneath your feet, while custom electric shades glide silently at the touch of a button. By evening, the villa transforms into a luminous work of art as integrated LED lighting softly illuminates the residence against the velvet darkness of the rainforest.

The estate offers five magnificent bedroom suites, each paired with its own spa-inspired five-piece bathroom. Every suite was designed as a private retreat, where floor-to-ceiling glass frames cinematic views of both ocean and jungle. Awaken each morning to the calls of toucans in the canopy and the distant rhythm of waves meeting the shore below.

Acqua Blu was conceived not simply as a luxury home, but as an experience of complete wellbeing and indulgence. At its heart lies a chef’s kitchen appointed with Invisacook induction technology and double stainless-steel refrigerators, seamlessly blending innovation with refined design. A sophisticated lounge and billiards bar evoke the atmosphere of an exclusive private club, while the dedicated wellness center offers a fully equipped gym, steam room, sauna, and invigorating cold plunge.

Outside, the estate becomes truly unforgettable. The infinity-edge pool and ten-person jacuzzi are clad in imported natural stone from Indonesia, appearing to merge effortlessly with the Pacific itself. Nearby, a dramatic sunken fire pit accommodates fifteen guests beneath the stars — an extraordinary setting for evenings filled with conversation, wine, and the hypnotic glow of flames dancing against the night sky.

No detail was overlooked in the creation of this extraordinary estate. Every piece of furniture was custom designed and handcrafted in Costa Rica and Bali, selected specifically to withstand the tropical climate while maintaining timeless sophistication. Above it all, a standing seam insulated steel roof offers both beauty and resilience against the elements. Lush tropical gardens flow throughout the property and even into the interior spaces, including a soaring second-level atrium that brings the rainforest directly into the soul of the home.

Set upon 5,500 square meters (1.36 acres) at an ideal elevation of approximately 1,300 feet, Acqua Blu enjoys the perfect balance of sweeping ocean views and refreshing mountain breezes. Spanning approximately 13,000 square feet, the estate feels both monumental and deeply intimate — a place where luxury never competes with nature, but instead celebrates it.

This is a home for those who have traveled the world and discovered that true luxury is not found in excess alone, but in rarity. In silence broken only by birdsong. In sunsets that never lose their magic. In the privilege of waking each day above the clouds, suspended between rainforest and sea.

Acqua Blu is more than one of the finest homes in Costa Rica. It is one of the rare estates in the world where architecture, landscape, wellness, and prestige come together so completely.

A once-in-a-generation offering in Escaleras.

A life beyond expectation.
