Las Catalinas is designed to promote a balanced lifestyle focused on health, sustainability, fun, and fulfillment. It features homes, shops, restaurants, small hotels, inns, plazas, parks, and recreational facilities, all arranged to create walkable public spaces interwoven with natural surroundings. The architecture is adapted for outdoor living, and motorized vehicles are absent. The town is bordered by over 1,000 acres of tropical dry forest, offering extensive hiking, trail running, and mountain biking opportunities. On the other side, there are two of Costa Rica’s finest beaches, perfect for swimming, stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, boogie-boarding, and snorkeling.
