Elevated Coastal Living at Las Catalinas – Los Altos 301

THE LOCATION

Las Catalinas incorporates the principles of New Urbanism where human connection and environmentalism are priorities in the design. This concept is accomplished with public plazas, automobile-free streets, shopping boulevards, restaurants, work/study spaces, and marketplaces. Without cars filling the streets, Las Catalinas’ residents enjoy an old-time sense of community, a rarity today.

Because Las Catalinas was designed at scale for biking and walking, homes and buildings efficiently use space and topography. A walk through town may render thoughts of Antigua in the Caribbean, Casco Viejo in Panama, or Vernazza on the Italian coastline. Of the 1,200 acres encompassing Las Catalinas, only 200 acres are planned for development. The remaining 1000 acres of forest are home to exotic birds, howler monkeys, iguanas, and the odd wild cat.

Within the reserve, you’ll find thirty-five kilometers of hiking paths and varying degrees of mountain bike trails offering panoramic ocean views. If you’re into water recreation, you’ll love the crystalline waters offshore for snorkeling, stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, bodysurfing, and more. Las Catalinas is an outdoor athlete’s sanctuary with multiple yearly events that get the whole town involved.

THE PROPERTY

Perched at the crown of El Prado in the iconic Las Catalinas community, Los Altos #301 commands a rare blend of panoramic ocean views, refined architecture, and immediate access to Costa Rica’s most vibrant coastal lifestyle.

From your doorstep, step directly onto more than 25 miles of world-class hiking and mountain biking trails, winding through a 1,000-acre protected tropical dry forest alive with howler monkeys, deer, and colorful birdlife. Just downhill, residents enjoy tennis courts and a community soccer pitch, while a short stroll continues to the soft sands and gentle waters of Playa Danta, the heart of Las Catalinas’ Beach-Towne Village.

The village itself offers an enviable lifestyle: a world-class outfitter for bikes and adventure gear, exceptional dining ranging from casual cafés to elevated gastronomy, a wine cava, craft brew pub, curated boutiques, pharmacy, and a full-service gourmet deli and market. Members of the exclusive Las Catalinas Beach Club enjoy a state-of-the-art fitness center, cold plunge, and three resort-style swimming pools. The newly expanded Marina Flamingo lies just 20 minutes away, and Liberia International Airport is under an hour’s drive—ideal for effortless travel and yachting access.

Los Altos is a striking example of Spanish Colonial architecture, designed by a renowned Guatemalan architect, blending timeless elegance with modern coastal living. Residence #301 occupies the top level of the building and features a thoughtfully designed two-bedroom, two-bath flat with sweeping sunset, ocean, and island views.

The focal point of the home is the expansive covered terrace, where artisan wood ceilings frame an outdoor living space complete with a stone-tiled BBQ area and private plunge pool—the perfect setting for sunset entertaining or tranquil mornings overlooking the Pacific.

Inside, the contemporary kitchen is both stylish and functional, featuring stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, a disposal, and an adjacent laundry room/pantry. An elevator from the garage opens to a shared foyer and directly to the residence’s front door, ensuring ease and privacy. The main entry leads into a light-filled great room, seamlessly integrating the living area—with built-in entertainment connections—and the kitchen bar for effortless social living.

Throughout the home, handcrafted wooden doors by local artisans add warmth and authenticity, while high-quality, weather-sealed doors and windows provide durability, comfort, and a strong connection to the outdoor spaces.

The Primary Suite enjoys serene ocean views and opens directly onto the covered terrace. It features a generous closet and a spa-inspired ensuite bathroom with quartz countertops and a double vanity. The second bedroom suite includes a full bath with a double vanity and also serves as a well-appointed guest bathroom, offering flexibility and privacy for visitors.

Los Altos #301 is an exceptional opportunity to own a turnkey luxury residence in one of Costa Rica’s most celebrated coastal communities—where architecture, nature, and lifestyle converge effortlessly.
