Las Catalinas

Las Catalinas is unlike any other community in Costa Rica — a car-free, coastal town built entirely for people, not vehicles. Designed to prioritize walking, connection, and beauty from every angle, it blends European charm with tropical vibrance, creating a lifestyle that feels refined yet relaxed, international yet unmistakably Costa Rican.

This is where polished architecture meets purposeful living — a place where your daily rhythm flows naturally from beach to café to hiking trail, all without ever needing a car.

A Town Built to Be Lived In

Las Catalinas isn’t just a gated community — it’s a fully functioning seaside town. Cobbled plazas, restaurants, boutique shops, and direct beachfront access are paired with over 40 kilometers of world-class hiking and biking trails winding through the hills.

Every home is designed to blend with its surroundings while offering privacy, elegance, and comfort. The architecture draws inspiration from timeless Mediterranean villages, reimagined for Costa Rica’s tropical climate with open-air terraces, shaded walkways, community courtyards, and lush internal gardens.

Real Estate in Las Catalinas

Real estate in Las Catalinas is highly curated and built to the highest standards. Homes are positioned to maximize ocean, town, or forest views, with designs that integrate seamlessly into the landscape. Options range from stylish flats and studios to multi-level villas and custom estates.

Rental demand is strong year-round thanks to the town’s growing reputation as a wellness-focused, family-friendly, and sustainable coastal destination. Many owners enjoy both personal use and strong rental returns.

Lifestyle, Elevated and Simplified

Living in Las Catalinas means having everything within walking distance — boutique hotels, organic markets, private pools, curated events, and yoga on the beach. Days can be spent swimming in the Pacific, biking scenic trails, exploring shops and cafés, or enjoying live music in the plaza.

The community draws a vibrant mix of full-time residents, second-home owners, remote professionals, and travelers seeking something more intentional than a typical beach town.
