Guanacaste Real Estate Info

The majority of real estate buyers in the Guanacaste region are either people who are moving there permanently, looking to buy a vacation home for rental income and investors. Guanacaste real estate has seen the highest development out of all the beach real estate areas in Costa Rica over the last few years, with some of the most luxurious and highest priced properties here.

Millions have been invested in the Guanacaste beach areas the last few years with many beach and ocean view properties springing up along the almost 125 miles of coastline from Marbella to near Nicaragua.

This real estate boom came when the international airport opened in 2002 and the opening of the Four Seasons resort which were all due to the beautiful beaches in Guanacaste. Also, titled beach front property in Tamarindo (most beach property in Costa Rica are not titled) was another attraction to investors. This made Tamarindo and other areas in Guanacaste, from small surfing villages to the hottest real estate area in Costa Rica.

The real estate market in Guanacaste has been developing like crazy over the last 6-7 years and it looks like there is no stopping.

The Tamarindo frenzy spread up and down the coast, and beach towns within that magic hour of the Liberia airport have been the prime targets for investors. Each beach village has experienced it’s own slightly different flavor of development, but from Langosta to Hermosa it’s all hot.

South of Tamarindo and Langosta, the pace of development slows considerably. The vast Hacienda Pinilla project, which backs onto three miles of beach, inadvertently acts as a buffer zone against
the Tamarindo sprawl south. The beaches from Avellana south are growing at a much slower pace, with a few large developments under construction at the time of writing, but more inevitably on the way.
Carrillo, Sámara, and Nosara are in a market quite distinct from the Tamarindo and Papagayo scene. Sámara is about a 2-hour drive from the Liberia airport, and Nosara is another 30-45 minutes further
on a tricky dirt road that is sometimes impassable in rainy season. Papagayo, meanwhile, is in its own world, almost literally: the whole peninsula is under a special regimen that grants special 99-year
concessions to luxury hotels and other tourism developments. It has its own security guards and you have to show ID even to enter the premises. It sits on a piece of land with incredible views, and the
project’s success has lured in many high-end developers with their pick of luxury hotel operators. As far up as the Nicaraguan border, the area above the Santa Elena Peninsula is currently being snapped
up in large chunks by developers who should start building within the next few years.
