8 Plaza Carlota

Guanacaste Coast, Costa Rica

Please note that there is construction taking place next to the homes and noise may be heard during the day. Please inquire with a Villa Specialist for more information.

Cozy in the shade, yet just a couple of minutes from the beach, this lively Costa Rican beach apartment offers old-world comfort and tropical delights, with a few playful notes and a mix of styles that make it one of a kind.

This Las Catalinas tropical home offers a spacious common area in which kitchen, dining, and sitting rooms are integrated to make it easy for the loving couple or family to spend time together. In it, rich wood, leather, and glassware happily coexist with modern paintings and sea motifs, while a roofed terrace offers space for creative outlets, relaxation or work.

The stylish master suite with a Queen bed hints at passion and character, with crimson and golden tones highlighting the refined bed coverings with a phoenix theme. They are framed by a couple of rustic tables and lamps and complemented by a porthole-like mirror that gives it all a uniquely maritime feel.

A hidden treasure in gorgeous, centrally located Plaza Carlota, this Costa Rican beach rental has attitude to spare and is ideally suited for the refined, unconventional traveler. Up to 4 guests can be accommodated in this Las Catalinas flat, where children are welcome.

Las Catalinas

Surrounded by tropical nature on land and at sea, Las Catalinas is a beautiful, car-free, fully walkable beach town in Costa Rica. The purpose is to create a way of life that is healthy, sustainable, fulfilling, and fun. Definitely one of the most fun things to do at Las Catalinas is simply to explore the town. Most of the streets are made for people. Every little passage seems to lead to a beautiful plaza or a view of the ocean.

Baranda Villas Collection

Charming residences, friendly service, and thoughtful amenities make this the best way to embrace life in the town. Baranda is comprised of studios, flats, and up to six-bedroom homes with remarkable locations in town, all just a short walk away from the beach, as well as town's restaurants, shops, and outdoor activities.

Activities

Boogie Boarding

Playa Danta is one of the best body surfing and boogie boarding beaches you will ever find. Go at medium to low tides when the beach is very flat. The swells are typically moderate, safe, spaced 15 seconds apart, and perfectly formed. These waves are unlike anything many of us have seen in other parts of the world. Costa Rica has many famous surfing beaches but Las Catalinas is partially sheltered from the prevailing southern swell, and that is what makes Playa Danta "just right" for boogie boarding.

Snorkeling

Some of the best snorkeling in Costa Rica is right at Las Catalinas. The best spots are wherever you see rocks: the far side of Playa Dantita, the reef in between Danta and Dantita, along the shore of Punta Penca, or out at the Islotes Pitahayas islands just offshore. You'll find lots of reef fish, coral, interesting underwater topography, big spotted eagle rays, sea turtles, and who knows what else.

Kayaking and Paddle-Boarding

Las Catalinas is an ideal location for sea kayaking and stand up paddle-boarding. The protected bay of Playa Danta is perfect for beginners and often offers glassy smooth conditions. The Islotes Pitahayas just one kilometer offshore is a great destination with the swell surging dramatically on the rocks. The islands are a famous nesting site of pelicans and frigate birds. The coastline in both directions is dramatic and interesting with a variety of beautiful beaches, cliffs, and great snorkeling and swimming all within paddling range.

Yoga and Fitness

With an average temperature of 74 degrees year-round, Las Catalinas is the perfect place to get in a fitness groove. Whether it's weekly interval training classes, beachfront yoga under an almendro tree, or grab some weights, this is a mecca for athletes and yogis alike.

Shopping and Dining

In the shops of Las Catalinas, you'll find everything you need to elevate your stay in town. Get outfitted to enjoy the town and outdoors, set a course to learn about ocean protection, bring home an unexpected Costa Rican gift, give some local life and flair to your home, or relax and take care of your body. It's all here, and it's all within a few minutes' walk.

Guanacaste is quickly becoming a major player in Costa Rica's culinary scene, and Las Catalinas offers some of the best options available just a few steps from your front door.

Beach Club

Located on a bluff overlooking the beach, Las Catalinas Beach Club is a central gathering spot for local residents and visitors to socialize, dine, exercise and enjoy an array of amenities for the whole family including:

  • 25 Meter lap pool with four swim lanes
  • Separate adult lounging pool and hot plunge pool
  • Ample seating and comfortable lounge chairs
