Led by AOL Co-founder Steve Case, Revolution is a DC-based investment firm. Through its hospitality and real estate arm, Revolution Places, it seeks to create destinations that aim to reflect surroundings, forge connections, and strengthen local economies. Rooted in wellness, and immersive design, the company has spent over two decades cultivating the vision partnerships and stewardship behind Punta Cacique.

Steve Case, co-founder of AOL, owner of Punta Cacique and founder of Revolution Places, speaks about the project.

 

“The reason I fell in love with the Cacique Peninsula is that it’s a spectacular place with spectacular views. You can be at the resort when you want to be at the resort, but you can also be connected to the best of Costa Rica anytime you want to venture out.”

–  Steve Case
