About Hotels in Ballena

Welcome to Ballena, a charming slice of paradise in Costa Rica where the only thing more laid-back than the locals is the sloth population. With seven hotels at your disposal, you can trade in your overstuffed suitcase for a cozy beachside bungalow or a luxurious eco-lodge—because who needs a gym when you have a hammock?

Ballena’s beaches are like nature’s own spa, complete with the soothing sounds of waves crashing and the occasional howler monkey serenading you at sunset. The nearby Marino Ballena National Park offers a unique chance to see the majestic humpback whales during migration season. Talk about an unforgettable travel story—just remember to leave out the one where you tried to swim with them.

The best time to visit? Think dry season, which typically runs from December to April, when the sun shines as brightly as your questionable vacation outfit.
