Villas in Las Catalinas for the Luxury Traveler
The now traditional form of tourism, ecotourism’s smart eco lodging accommodations propelled Costa Rica as a global vacation destination to a global audience. Eco tourism paved a path for Costa Rica to be able to receive increasing numbers of tourists. Vast national resources and national parks lent to responsible travel and plentiful pacific coast beaches opened the door to a new branch of tourism, luxury vacations.
Recognizing the influx of tourism and the natural strengths of a tropical climate with pristine beaches in the aptly named, Costa Rica, big box luxury entered the scene. The Instituto Costaricense de Tourismo (ICT) expanded the tourism economy to include tourism projects with simplified regulations to allow for multinational luxury brands to enter with ease.
Both national and international hotels and resorts soon dotted coastal swaths of land like Papagayo Peninsula in the Guanacaste province. Thinking luxury travel could not exist without seclusion and privacy, these brands built walls and gates around resorts often centered around golf courses or similar sprawling amenities.
The Definition of Luxury has Changed
The shortsighted vision of walls and gates unfortunately isolated luxury hotels from the exact riches of nature, beauty, and sociability of the happiest country that attracted tourists to Costa Rica. Resulting in hotels without charm or sense of place, tourism for the country has shifted yet again to adapt to a new definition of luxury vacationing. An important part of luxury is now connection.
Service, connection and easy sociability are the new luxury. Excellent service, personal concierge services, private chef dinners, and casual authentic experiences eclipse large amenities.
Discerning an opportunity to fit in the marketplace gap between smart eco-travel and big box luxury, alternative accommodations offerings emerged with branded partners such as Airbnb Lux and travel agency Luxury Retreats.

In line with the expanding definition of luxury vacation home rentals in Costa Rica, Las Catalinas is a car-free town with a coastal climate ideally nestled along the north pacific ocean and 1,000 acres surrounding tropical dry forest and nearby state parks.
