Playa Conchal
One of the Very Rare Opportunities to Acquire Fully Titled Beachfront Property Within Costa Rica’s Protected Maritime Zone
Own Fully Titled Beachfront Property at the Beach Ranked No. 1 in the World*
Approximately 2,800 m² directly on the beach, strategically positioned between Tamarindo and Playa Flamingo, with registered private ownership and established tourism and gastronomy rights.
Beachfront Land Is Scarce.
Fully Titled Beachfront Land Is Rarer Still.
Most coastal land within Costa Rica’s Maritime Zone cannot be acquired as conventional private property. Under current law, new private titles generally cannot be created within the Maritime Zone. Coastal use is normally granted through government concession rights and remains subject to additional restrictions.
This property is different. It is held under a historic, legally registered private title that remains recognised under Costa Rican law. The buyer therefore acquires registered private ownership rather than a standard coastal concession.
Combined with its direct beachfront position, established commercial use and location between Tamarindo and Playa Flamingo, this makes the property one of the very few opportunities of its kind currently available in the region.
A form of coastal ownership that generally cannot be created today.
Beachfront. Golfside.
Close to Marina Flamingo.
The property occupies an exceptional beachfront position immediately beside the Reserva Conchal Golf Course. Designed by Robert Trent Jones II, the 18-hole course forms part of the premium Reserva Conchal resort environment, home to The Westin Reserva Conchal, an All-Inclusive Golf Resort & Spa within the Marriott Bonvoy portfolio.
Marina Flamingo, one of Guanacaste’s leading yacht and sportfishing destinations, is located approximately 3 km away as the crow flies.
Strategically positioned between Tamarindo and Playa Flamingo, the property combines direct beach access, registered private ownership, golf-resort adjacency, marina proximity and established tourism rights in one exceptionally rare location.
Few properties combine titled beachfront ownership, a premium golf resort next door and one of Guanacaste’s leading marinas only 3 km away.
Directly on the Beach at the Gateway to Playa Conchal
Step beyond the property and you are directly on the beach.
The site occupies a prominent position at the northern gateway to Playa Conchal, one of Costa Rica’s most celebrated Pacific beaches.
It combines immediate beach access with road access, nearby restaurants and services, established visitor traffic and direct proximity to Reserva Conchal.
This is genuine beachfront ownership without the isolation normally associated with remote coastal property.
The Hills Offer Views.
This Property Offers the Beach.
Seven-figure villas and condominiums are increasingly common across Tamarindo, Playa Conchal and Playa Flamingo, often well inland from the coast.
What is far harder to find is fully titled land directly on the beach, within Costa Rica’s Maritime Zone, adjoining Reserva Conchal Golf Course, just minutes from a marina and with existing tourism rights.
Villas can be replicated. This location cannot.

Established Tourism Use. Significant Redevelopment Potential.
The property was previously operated as a hospitality business with approximately 20 guest rooms, food and beverage facilities and a large private owner’s residence.
Existing tourism, hotel and restaurant operating licences, together with ICT approval, provide a significant advantage over undeveloped coastal property where commercial use must first be established.
Hotel operations are currently suspended. The property is presently used as a private residence and for tourist parking.
The existing structures require substantial renovation and the property is not being offered as an operational or turnkey hotel. The buildings have an approximate footprint of 500 m² and an estimated total constructed area of approximately 700 m², with parts of the complex extending over two levels.
Depending on the future concept, a buyer may consider comprehensive renovation, partial reconstruction or complete redevelopment, subject to applicable approvals.
The primary value lies in the land, title, beachfront position, commercial history and future potential.
Restore. Reimagine. Redevelop.
The property offers the opportunity to create a distinctive coastal destination shaped around its direct relationship with the beach, its established tourism use and its proximity to Reserva Conchal.

Offered at USD 2,200,000
At approximately USD 786 per square metre, the property remains competitively positioned against smaller premium coastal and ocean-view sites in the wider Tamarindo and Playa Flamingo market.
The asking price reflects both the exceptional value of the land and the substantial investment required to renovate or redevelop the existing structures.
For qualified buyers seeking true beachfront ownership, the property represents a rare opportunity to enter one of Costa Rica’s most competitive coastal markets.
Opportunities Like This Are Rarely Publicly Available
Direct beachfront position. Registered private ownership. Existing tourism rights. Immediate golf-course adjacency. A strategic location between Tamarindo and Marina Flamingo.
For buyers who want the beach, not merely the view, this is an opportunity that is exceptionally difficult to replace.
