Exploring luxury beachfront living in the coastal hotspots covered by REMAX Oceanside Realty. Here’s a detailed walk‑through of each key niche area in the Central Pacific of Costa Rica, highlighting what makes them unique, what luxury buyers are seeking, and why they’re so compelling for both lifestyle and investment.
Jaco Beach
Why Jaco stands out for luxury beachfront living
- Jaco is vibrant—with restaurants, nightlife, amenities and also direct beach access—making it appealing for buyers who want “beach life + convenience”.
- Many luxury homes here offer features like infinity‑edge pools, panoramic ocean views, open‑concept indoor/outdoor living.
- Investment potential: close to San José, strong rental/tourism market; luxury beachfront units are in demand.
What luxury buyers are looking for
- Direct beachfront or first‐row: For that “waves out the window” experience.
- Premium finishes & design: High ceilings, large glass walls, seamless transition to terrace/pool.
- Amenities & services: Gated community, maintenance, resort‑style features.
- Strong view orientation: Ocean AND mountain views especially in the hills above Jaco.
- Good access: Close enough to Jaco town services but still private and serene.
Key opportunities and insights
- Check development quality, as some newer towers or condos may offer high‑end finishes.
- Consider lifestyle trade‑offs: if you want quiet and ultra‑luxury, make sure you’re not right in the heart of town noise.
- From an investment perspective: Jaco’s rental market is competitive, but luxury beachfront properties command premium rates.
Playa Hermosa
Why Playa Hermosa is a luxury beachfront gem
- Described as a “premier destination for relocation and vacations” with an exclusive beach community vibe
- Luxury villas
- Slightly more tranquil than Jaco; appeals to those who want beachfront luxury + relaxation rather than full town energy.
What luxury buyers are looking for
- Beachfront or immediate proximity: A main focus is “walk to beach/steps to beach”.
- Privacy & exclusivity: Gated communities, hillside sites, fewer units.
- High‑end finishes & custom builds: Many villas in Hermosa are custom‑designed.
- Investment + lifestyle dual role: Buyers who want personal use + rental potential.
Key opportunities insights
- Being slightly outside of the busiest zones can mean better value and serenity.
- Because Hermosa is more “luxury retreat” than urban center, check access to services, restaurants, and property management if you plan to rent.
- Sea‑view hillside lots in Hermosa also present development potential (good for investors looking to build). For example a 41‑hectare land listing near Hermosa/Esterillos shows potential.
Esterillos (Este/Oeste/Centro)

Why Esterillos is a standout for luxury beachfront and development
- Esterillos is less developed compared to Jaco and Hermosa, offering more land, big lots, potentially lower entry costs for luxury beachfront or near‑beach estates.
- Listings include rare “flat beachfront parcel of almost 12 acres” in Esterillos Este.
- The area blends beach + rainforest + nature, great for buyers seeking a more “raw luxury” experience rather than high‑density resort living.
What luxury buyers are looking for
- Large lots or estates: Enough land for villa + pool + guest accommodation.
- Beachfront or first‑row: Especially in a market where beachfront inventory is more limited.
- Development upside: Investors buying land for future resort/condo development or boutique hotel.
- Nature + tranquility: Buyers wanting luxury but away from the bustle.
Key opportunities & notes
- Because Esterillos is less densely developed, you may find better value, but also more work (infrastructure, construction, access) might need oversight.
- Make sure titles are properly vetted—especially beachfront lots, since beachfront regulations in Costa Rica can be complex.
- If you’re buying for investment/development: zoning, water rights, infrastructure access become critical. For example, a parcel near Hermosa/Esterillos had high‑density zoning and approved water meters.
- For ownership: remote luxury means hiring good local management to maintain and rent the property when you’re not there.
Investment and Lifestyle Highlights Across All Areas
- Strong rental demand: Luxury beachfront properties attract high‑end vacation rental clientele (surfing, corporate retreats, families).
- International appeal: US/Canada/Europe buyers love the idea of “live in paradise + investment return”.
- Lifestyle upgrade: For buyers from cold‐weather climates, Costa Rica’s Central Pacific offers sun, surf, wellness, and beachside living.
- Market differentiation: Beachfront or near‐beach luxury is rarer than inland lots, so scarcity plays into value.
- Exit flexibility: With professional property‑management and marketing, these properties can either be full‑time homes, part‑time use + rental, or full investment.
Recommendations for Buyers
- Define your priority: Are you buying for personal use (lifestyle) or investment (rental/flip)? That will guide area, price point, and property type.
- Visit in person: Walk the beach, evaluate noise (surf, traffic), view lines, beach access, community vibe.
- Work with experts: Utilize REMAX Oceanside’s listings and local legal/real‐estate professionals who understand beachfront titles and regulations.
- Infrastructure check: For less‑developed areas like Esterillos, check roads, utilities, water/sewage, builder track record.
- Rental potential analysis: Ask for comparable rental returns, occupancy rates, management costs.
- Exit strategy: Even if buying for lifestyle, think about resale or rental possibilities—especially in luxury beachfront niche.
