Welcome to
Las Catalinas
Endless sunshine and blue skies, perfect for beach and outdoor activities.
A Pedestrian Paradise on the Pacific Coast
Tucked into the hills above Playa Danta on the Pacific shores of Guanacaste, Las Catalinas is one of Costa Rica’s most unique and thoughtfully designed communities. Built as a car-free, walkable town, Las Catalinas combines old-world charm with modern luxury, creating an unparalleled lifestyle experience for residents and visitors alike.
Founded in 2006, Las Catalinas was envisioned as a master-planned beach town that prioritizes human connection, sustainability, and beauty. With stunning Mediterranean-inspired architecture, cobblestone streets, and lush tropical landscaping, the town feels like something out of a European coastal village—yet it’s surrounded by the rich biodiversity and adventure of Costa Rica.
This pedestrian-only town is built with intentionality: homes, shops, cafes, and trails are all within walking distance, encouraging a healthy, outdoor-focused lifestyle. It’s a top destination for luxury travelers, families, and active expats.
Las Catalinas borders 1,000+ acres of tropical dry forest reserve, featuring over 35 km of hiking and mountain biking trails.
Playa Danta and Playa Dantita offer pristine beaches perfect for swimming, snorkeling, paddleboarding, and kayaking.
The town hosts a vibrant calendar of wellness retreats, culinary festivals, and cultural events throughout the year.
Every home and building is part of a cohesive architectural vision, with high-end finishes and stunning ocean or mountain views.
It’s one of Costa Rica’s premier locations for sustainable living and intentional design.
Las Catalinas is home to a small but growing population, largely made up of international homeowners, part-time residents, and vacation guests. While there are fewer full-time locals compared to neighboring towns like Potrero or Flamingo, the community is highly engaged, with a strong emphasis on wellness, environmental consciousness, and quality of life.
Like much of Guanacaste, Las Catalinas enjoys a tropical dry climate with:
Dry Season (Nov–Apr): Endless sunshine and blue skies, perfect for beach and outdoor activities.
Green Season (May–Oct): Warm days with refreshing afternoon rains that bring the surrounding forests to life.
Average temperatures stay comfortably between 77°F and 95°F (25°C to 35°C) all year, making it a haven for outdoor enthusiasts.
Car-free lifestyle fosters safety, peace, and social interaction
Architectural harmony and luxury real estate with strong rental potential
