Las Catalinas

Who says the rich can’t have it all? Costa Rica’s newest beachfront luxury community is testimony that living the dream is plausible. The chic Italian Riviera-style village is a 100% cars-free resort prioritizing environmental sustainability and outdoor living, including a serene private beach and 25 miles of hiking and biking trails.

If you’re looking for sophisticated R&R and top-of-the-line international dining without the climate impact-related guilt, then Las Catalinas is the place to go. Don’t, however, expect to experience “real” Costa Rican culture besides speaking with the staff or a few of the patrons. This is an elite experience entirely.
