Why Las Catalinas

Las Catalinas is a one-of-a-kind product in Costa Rica: a 100% pedestrian beach town, no cars within the town core, designed under New Urbanism principles over Playa Danta and Dantita. You're not just buying square footage, you're buying a concept: walk everywhere, designed community, zero traffic.

The market, in numbers

Studios and 1-bedroom condos from $425K–$600K; villas and houses from $1M; scarce premium lots, with large parcels reaching $8M+. Inventory is very limited, what comes up sells fast. HOA fees are among the highest in the region, and that's part of the product: it maintains the pedestrian infrastructure, security, and amenities.

Daily life

Restaurants and a beach club within the town (Lola's and others), a water sports center, pedestrian plazas and trails, a self-contained concept of car-free living. Playa Danta and Dantita have light sand and generally calm water, with protected dry forest woven into the urban design.

The legal side, straight up

A master-planned community with strict internal rules on top of the municipal framework, this protects value but limits building freedom. Most product within the development is titled. It's among the safest areas in the country: a gated, pedestrian town with security patrols.

The Tico Take

Catalinas is the most expensive product per square meter on the corridor, and it's not for everyone, but it's the only thing of its kind in the country, and that's exactly what sustains its value. If a client wants the Catalinas experience for less, the entry point is Potrero, right next door.
