Las Catalinas: Costa Rica’s Great New Little Town

Who doesn’t love an easy escape on a non-stop flight to a little piece of beach paradise yet without giving up any of the  comforts of home?  Las Catalinas is just the answer with wonderfully built and tastefully designed homes of all sizes, complete with it’s very own Main Street, a beach club, a toes-in-the-sand restaurant, a surf and activity shop, and miles of mountain cycling and hiking in the most pristine and relaxed environment.  The town is pretty perfect, but it is unique in that you dont just see the snow birds hunkering down for the weekend, the guests are a mix of school kids, year-round residents and visitors alike and Las Catalinas encourages local Ticos to be a part of the Pura Vida life-style by enjoying the mountain biking and the local bar.

There are many sized homes to choose from one bedroom studios to 7 bedroom estates and everything in between.  Many of the larger homes come with beautiful bunk rooms which are terrific for a bunch of kids.

I definitely suggest you consider a dinner chef for a least a couple of nights during your stay – such a treat!

Please contact me to discuss the many styles and sizes of homes available to rent as I toured several of them during my visit!
