Las Catalinas 

Located on the beautiful Guanacaste coast, Las Catalinasis a car free,purpose built tourist village that’s been designed to reflect traditional Costa Rican architecture. Everything is within walking distance, and the layout has been carefully planned to encourage a sense of community, and a healthier lifestyle.

There’s a wide variety of places to stay, from large, luxurious villas with their own private pool, to smaller more, affordable apartments with all the mod cons nonetheless.

The village has 1,000 acres dedicated to a nature reserve, and 42 kilometres of purpose built hiking, and mountain bike tracks to explore. The two beaches are naturally sheltered from the prevailing southern swell, making them perfect for boogie boarding, kayaking and stand up paddle boarding.Filled with restaurants, shops and cafés dotted around picturesque plazas,Las Catalinas is a great place for a family getaway.
