The Space:
Salt air, open skies, and the gentle pulse of the Caribbean - this penthouse at Calablanca Residences on Isla Barú is where the rhythm of the coast becomes yours. Mornings begin with light pouring across the terrace and sea stretching out to the horizon. By evening, the sky turns gold and the water stills, and you are exactly where you need to be.
The space
Perched at the top of Calablanca Residences, this three-bedroom penthouse is designed around openness and ease. Large windows draw in natural light throughout the day, and the open-plan living areas flow naturally toward the terrace, giving the entire home a sense of connection to the sea. Whether your group is unwinding together or spreading out for a quieter moment, the layout accommodates both with comfort.
Sleeping arrangements
The penthouse sleeps up to nine guests across three bedrooms and six beds, with 3.5 bathrooms to keep mornings running smoothly. Soft linens and warm lighting throughout make each room a proper retreat at the end of a long, sun-filled day.
Outdoor living
Step outside and the terrace becomes your own private front row to the Caribbean. Panoramic sea views open up in every direction, and the sound of the surf is never far. The beach is less than 5 minutes away on foot, without needing to leave the complex. When you get there, you'll find a 167-metre stretch of shoreline lined with sunbeds, large cushions, and Bali-style cabanas - ideal for long, unhurried afternoons. The shared family pool and separate kids' pool are both bordered by sunbeds, with outdoor showers stocked with L'Occitane soap. As the evening settles in, fire pits cast a soft glow, and a 60-metre shared dock provides easy boat access for vessels up to 60 feet.
Resort amenities
Calablanca Residences offers a full range of shared facilities to complement your stay. The spa includes steam rooms, saunas, massage cabins, and outdoor jacuzzis - use of the sauna and jacuzzi comes at no additional charge, with reservations made through your Concierge.
