Las Catalinas, Costa Rica, Planned beach resort in Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica.
Las Catalinas extends across 4.86 square kilometers of Pacific coastal land, featuring residential areas, commercial spaces, and natural reserves with hiking trails.
The development began in 2006 under Charles Brewer's vision to establish a car-free community based on New Urbanism principles along Costa Rica's Pacific coast.
The architecture incorporates elements from colonial towns and Mediterranean coastal settlements, creating spaces that promote social interaction among residents and visitors.
The resort provides direct access to mountain biking trails, water sports facilities, hotels, restaurants, and shops within walking distance of all accommodations.
The property maintains 404 hectares of tropical dry forest as a natural reserve, supporting local wildlife including howler monkeys, iguanas, and numerous bird species.
