Where Riverstone Sits

On an elevated setting above Dominical, with uninterrupted whitewater views of the Pacific — private and connected to nature, yet only minutes from Dominical's beaches, restaurants, and town centre.

Riverstone's appeal is that balance: the calm and the view of an elevated home, with the surf town of Dominical and its conveniences close at hand. Brand new and completed in 2026, it sits near the Savegre side of Dominical, with beach, town, and a river all within easy reach. For the region itself, see Where You Are: Costa Ballena.

Arrival & Access

Riverstone's elevated setting is reached on the kind of road where a 4x4 is the comfortable choice — while staying genuinely close to town. The team meets you and guides you in.

Most guests fly into San José (SJO) and drive about three and a half hours south, or take the short flight to Quepos and continue by road; the team can arrange a vehicle and a shuttle, and meets you for check-in. As ever on this coast, a four-wheel-drive is the sensible choice for an elevated home and for exploring — being minutes from Dominical makes day-to-day easy. The full picture is in Roads, Rental Cars & Transportation and Getting Here.

The Home & the View

A spacious, brand-new home built around uninterrupted whitewater views — modern, comfortable, and finished to the standard of the collection's newest builds.

Completed in 2026, Riverstone is among the freshest homes in the collection, with generous living spaces and the Pacific in full view. Early guests describe a beautiful home and a great family stay. As a recent build, it's still gathering its review history — the team can answer any specifics for your dates.

The Pool & the River

A private pool the kids gravitate to — and, just down the road, a river that early guests singled out as a highlight.

The home's own name nods to it: alongside the pool, a nearby river adds something most villas don't have — a wild, freshwater spot to cool off and explore, which families especially love. As with any pool, supervise children closely around the water, and ask the team about the river and current conditions for your dates (more in Families & Multi-Generational Travel).

Bedrooms & Sleeping Arrangements

Five bedrooms and seven beds sleeping up to twelve — spacious and comfortable, built for a large family or group.

The scale makes Riverstone a true big-group home: room to gather and room to retreat, with the ocean as the constant. Tell the concierge how your party splits and they'll confirm the bed configuration and set it up before arrival.

Food, Chef & Service

The concierge team makes it easy — private chefs, groceries, massages, drivers, and tours — and Dominical's restaurants and shops are minutes away.

The team handles check-in and anything you need during the stay; a private chef is easily arranged for a big group, and being close to town means groceries and dining are genuinely convenient. The markets, fish vendors, and restaurants are covered in Food, Groceries, Chefs & Eating Well.

Dominical, Beach & Town

One of Riverstone's real advantages is Dominical itself — minutes away, with its famous surf beach, relaxed town, restaurants, and shopping.

Dominical is the laid-back surf town of the northern Costa Ballena, and Riverstone puts it within easy reach: beach mornings, a quick run into town, and the waterfalls and rivers of the area all close by. The beaches themselves are covered in Beaches & Ocean Conditions.

What to Understand Before You Book

Two honest notes, in the spirit of this guide.

First, Riverstone is a brand-new home (completed 2026), so there's limited guest-review history so far — the team can answer specifics (layout, amenities, the river) directly for your dates. Second, it's an elevated setting, so a 4x4 is the comfortable choice; the upside is that, unlike many remote villas, you're only minutes from beach and town.

Who Riverstone Suits (and Who May Prefer Another)

It suits larger families and groups who want a brand-new, spacious home with a big ocean view — and who value being close to Dominical's beach and town.

If you want a fresh 2026 build, room for twelve, uninterrupted whitewater views, a pool and a river, and the convenience of Dominical minutes away, Riverstone is an excellent fit. You may prefer a different home if you want deep seclusion far from town, or an established review history — the team can suggest homes like Casa Grande del Mar (secluded) or Casa Bella Viña instead.
