Experiences

The plan is to take your time.

Everything that happens inside Costeño River, told straight: what's here, what's worth knowing, and what to ask us first.

Water

A pool, a jacuzzi and a river: three ways into the water, none of them on the clock.

A guest seen from behind, knee-deep in the pool, framed by palms and tropical plants, with forest and mountains under a cloudy sky beyond.
The pool facing the mountains
  • Overhead view of the rectangular pool with two palms at its edge, one person swimming, wooden sun loungers on the deck and garden all around.
  • The pool at night, lit aqua green, with string lights along a stone wall and a raised cabin glowing warm among the palms.

Infinity pool

Our infinity pool looks straight out over the green and the Sierra’s mountains. A mid-morning dip easily turns into a whole afternoon on a lounger, watching the light shift across the valley. After dark it lights up and everything slows down a notch.

Good to know

  • It’s set in the garden among loungers, with the mountains as a backdrop.
  • Wondering about water temperature or when it’s open? Ask us and we’ll tell you.
  • We’ll walk you through the pool rules when you arrive, so everyone gets to enjoy it.

Three friends talk in the stone-rimmed jacuzzi as the water bubbles, two cocktails on the edge and a wall of greenery behind.

Jacuzzi

We opened it in September 2026: river, nature and now our own jacuzzi. It’s for winding down after a hike, or for an unhurried conversation as the afternoon fades.

Good to know

  • It’s the latest addition to Costeño River, introduced in September 2026.
  • Water temperature or opening times? Message us and we’ll fill you in.
  • After a quieter moment? Ask us when it’s usually calmest.

The river rushing between large pale boulders, thick trees on the bank, in a low shot from a drone video.
The river beside the property
  • A wooden deck with a net slung out over the drop, where a guest lies resting; beside it a round glass table and a woven chair, with jungle and mountains ahead.

Water · a few steps away

The river and quiet corners

The river runs alongside the property and you can hear it from the house. About 20 metres away there’s a way down that our guests describe as private: big rocks to sit on, pools and currents that change with the season. And when you’d rather stay still, there are nets and hammocks.

Good to know

  • Check with the team before going into the river; the flow changes with the rain.
  • The rocks can be slippery, so shoes with some grip are a good idea.
  • The way down is about 20 metres from the house; recent guests describe it as private.
  • Nets and hammocks: ask us which ones are free for a rest.

Wellbeing

Massage among the greenery and, some weeks, yoga. The sound of the river takes care of the rest.

Massage space among the greenery: a therapist works on a guest lying on a table under a curtained canopy, beside the carved “Agua de Río” sign and a Buddha figure holding a candle.

Wellbeing · among the greenery

Agua de Río · massage

Agua de Río is our massage space tucked into the greenery: a cabana wrapped in plants, its sign right there at the entrance. Water, nature and time to simply be.

Good to know

  • Treatments, times and prices: check availability on WhatsApp.
  • On a short stay? Message us early and we’ll look for a slot.
  • Let us know beforehand about any health condition or preference.

Wellbeing · some weeks

Yoga

Some weeks, the morning opens with a yoga session facing the green. It isn’t a daily class and there’s no fixed timetable; it depends on the week. If it’s something you’d love, ask us what’s on for your dates.

Good to know

  • It varies week to week, so message us and we’ll tell you if there are sessions during your stay.
  • Ask us whether it’s worth bringing your own mat.

Eat and gather

Breakfast at home, a bar close by and evenings that sometimes end in dancing.

Eat · no need to head into town

Food and bar

We have a restaurant and bar on site, so eating well doesn’t mean heading into town. Breakfast comes with the standard direct-booking rate, and the bar mixes the cocktails our guests tend to bring up.

Good to know

  • Breakfast is included in the standard rate on our booking engine; if you book through another platform, check what your rate includes.
  • Menu, opening times and special options (vegetarian, allergies): ask us before you arrive.

Social area under a bamboo-and-cane roof: people with laptops and mugs talk around a long wooden table, with woven pendant lamps and trees beyond the railing.

Gather · when a plan comes together

Time together

Here, slowing down is something you can share. Some nights the salsa gets going; others bring karaoke, a bonfire with marshmallows, ping-pong or games in the pool. None of it is nightly: every week finds its own rhythm, and if you’d rather stay in the hammock, that works too.

Good to know

  • Plans change from week to week, so ask us what’s on for your dates.
  • Our Linktree lists a WhatsApp activities community; ask us for the current link before you join.
  • It’s sociable, not an all-night party.
  • Costeño River is adults-only.

Activities · laptop, green view

Working among the trees

Bring your laptop and there’s a shared table where work comes with a view of the green. Wi-Fi is free, but we’re up in the mountains: the connection can vary, and we can’t promise long video calls or a desk of your own.

Good to know

  • Free Wi-Fi for guests; speed and stability can vary.
  • There are no assigned desks and no guaranteed socket at every seat; ask us for the best spot.
  • Some booking platforms list it as a coworking space; check with us what that actually covers.
  • Important meetings? Message us before you book and we’ll talk it through.

How your day could feel

A suggested mood, not a timetable.

  1. Morning

    Birdsong before any alarm. Coffee, an unhurried breakfast and the mountain slowly clearing.

  2. Afternoon

    A swim with the valley in front of you, a book in the net or a walk out to a waterfall. Nobody’s rushing you.

  3. Evening

    Lights on the pool and conversation around the big table. Sometimes a little music; other times just the river and the stars.

Beyond the property

Swimming holes, waterfalls, viewpoints and coffee farms: our Minca guide, with what to know before you head out.
