A Market on the Rise
Costa Rica’s luxury real estate market is booming. It’s fueled by an influx of foreign capital, rising tourism, and a shift in lifestyle preferences. Destinations like Guanacaste, Las Catalinas, and the Central Valley are seeing rapid growth in both property values and demand.
Las Catalinas, Costa Rica
Much like Cabo San Lucas 15 years ago, Costa Rica is now on the cusp of its own luxury evolution. Buyers are drawn to the country’s blend of modern amenities, reliable infrastructure, and preserved natural environments. The appeal is twofold: you’re investing in a real estate asset and gaining access to a lifestyle that’s rooted in wellness, community, and outdoor living.
Sustainability is also a driving force as eco-friendly developments, green building practices, and a government commitment to renewable energy have positioned Costa Rica as a leader in responsible real estate. Add to that its favorable investment climate – there are no restrictions on foreign property ownership and an established legal system – and the market becomes both attractive and smart.
Spotlight on Las Catalinas: Where Architecture and Nature Combine
Explore a standout beachfront estate in one of Costa Rica’s most visionary communities where design, lifestyle, and investment potential come together.
A Town Designed for Well-Being
Located on Guanacaste’s Pacific coast, Las Catalinas is a walkable residential community designed for health, connection, and sustainability. With miles of scenic trails, a beach club, tennis and pickleball courts, a gym, and world-class dining and shopping, it offers luxury and simplicity. 80% of its 1,200-acre development is preserved as green space, setting a new standard for eco-conscious living. Minutes from Flamingo Marina and top schools, it’s perfect for families and investors.
Cartagena 27: A Luxury Beachfront Home
Known as Las Veraneras, this extraordinary beachfront home sits just steps from the ocean in the heart of Las Catalinas. Blending old-world craftsmanship with modern convenience, the 6,000 sq. ft. residence is a showcase of artistry from around the world. From 18th-century reclaimed stone floors to custom tiles imported from Portugal, every detail tells a story.
Inside, the chef’s kitchen is fitted with top-tier appliances, including a 60-inch Wolf gas stove, Sub-Zero refrigerators, and dual ovens creating the perfect space for entertaining. The home’s living spaces are filled with character, adorned with 17th-century tapestries, antique furnishings, and curated artwork from South America and Asia.
Each of the seven bedrooms offers a unique aesthetic and private en-suite, including the principal suite, which boasts a vaulted brick ceiling, antique carvings, and a spa-style bathroom.
Outdoors, the home continues to impress. A saltwater pool in a chic glass enclosure overlooks the beach, while multiple terraces, a lounge, and a full summer kitchen make for effortless al fresco living.
