Properties in Guanacaste
Mountains & Spectacular Beaches

With beaches like Playa del Coco and Playa Tamarindo and almost countless national parks Guanacaste drew millions of tourists and investors to the region.
Heritage & Revenue

Visitors have become frequent guests because of what Costa Rica has to offer.

A new international airport, further development of international competing medical facilities, and land as far as the eye can reach where you will find yourself enjoying life in paradise in your new home in Guanacaste.
Quick Access to Airport
Guanacaste’s Liberia International Airport enabled the region to become even more attractive to foreign buyers and investors and with it the overall growing economy Costa Rica’s. Transportation from there to reach your destination in paradise is easily arranged either in advance or on ground.
