Property Description

Las Catalinas Beach Town is a master-planned coastal community inspired by the principles of New Urbanism, where thoughtful design fosters both human connection and environmental stewardship. Conceived as a pedestrian-oriented town, it features vibrant public plazas, charming car-free streets, boutique retail promenades, restaurants, cafés, markets, and shared workspaces that naturally encourage social interaction. By prioritizing walkability over vehicular traffic, the community cultivates a timeless sense of neighborhood life—an increasingly rare quality in today’s world.

Designed at a human scale, Las Catalinas integrates architecture seamlessly with the surrounding topography, optimizing space while preserving natural beauty. Strolling through its picturesque streets evokes the ambiance of historic seaside towns such as Antigua, Casco Viejo, or Vernazza, yet with a distinctly Costa Rican coastal character. Of the approximately 1,200 acres that comprise the community, only 200 acres are designated for development, while nearly 1,000 acres remain protected as tropical dry forest reserve. This expansive conservation area is home to diverse wildlife, including exotic bird species, howler monkeys, iguanas, and native wild cats.

Within the protected reserve, residents and visitors enjoy more than 35 kilometers of scenic hiking trails and mountain biking routes that wind through rolling hills and offer sweeping ocean views. The coastline invites year-round water activities in its clear Pacific waters, including snorkeling, stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, and bodysurfing. With an active calendar of athletic and community events, Las Catalinas offers an exceptional lifestyle for outdoor enthusiasts and those seeking a vibrant yet harmonious seaside environment.
