In Final Fantasy VII, Cloud and the others first arrive at Costa del Sol while hiding on Rufus's Cargo Ship. Costa del Sol is a minor location, as the party only briefly visit it to rest and relax. As with most towns, an Item Shop, Weapon Shop, Materia Shop, and an inn is found in Costa del Sol. The inn costs 200 gil to stay a night.

Professor Hojo can be found on the beach. He recently has fled Shinra and mentions that Sephiroth can be found past North Corel. The party can also find Johnny, who has been recently engaged, in his own house in Costa del Sol. The other characters can be found doing various activities around Costa del Sol. At first, Aeris and Tifa are found at the beach. After Cloud talks to Hojo, they can be found in the inn and Johnny's house respectively. Barret is found in the inn's bathroom. Red XIII plays ball with the kids on the street, and Cloud can kick the ball at him. Yuffie gets a part-time job at the Materia Shop.

There is a real estate agent selling President Shinra's vacation home, which Cloud can optionally purchase for 300,000 gil. In doing so, the place is renamed to Villa Cloud.

After acquiring the Buggy, the party can pay 100 gil at the docks to take the Cargo Ship back to Junon. The Buggy can be taken on the Cargo Ship with them.
