Regional guide

Nicoya Peninsula real estate

The Nicoya Peninsula reaches into the Pacific in Costa Rica's northwest. It holds the country's most sought-after beaches — Sámara, Nosara, Carrillo, Las Catalinas — and is one of the world's few Blue Zones, where life expectancy consistently runs above average. Our entire portfolio sits here.

What this page covers

Every property we list on the peninsula, whatever the township: Sámara and its surroundings, Puerto Carrillo, Nosara, the Santa Cruz and Las Catalinas area, Zapotal and Nandayure. If you already know the town you want, the dedicated pages give you a finer filter; this one exists to take in the whole market at once.

Why the peninsula rather than elsewhere in Costa Rica

The climate is drier than the Caribbean coast or the southern Pacific, the rainy season shorter, and Liberia international airport puts the region two hours from a direct flight out of Europe or North America. Tourism has been established here for decades, which sustains seasonal rental demand without having produced the overbuilding seen in some resorts.

Choosing your area within the peninsula

Sámara offers the most services, schools and community life. Puerto Carrillo, ten minutes away, is quieter and slightly cheaper. Nosara centres on surf and wellness, at higher prices. The Santa Cruz and Las Catalinas sector to the north is organised around planned communities and lots under tight design rules.

Buying as a foreigner

Foreigners buy in Costa Rica on the same terms as nationals, in full freehold, except within the first 200 metres of the shoreline, which falls under the concession regime. Acquisition costs run around 4 % of the price — transfer tax, notary-lawyer fees, stamps and escrow included. We guide you through the whole process.

Frequently asked questions about Nicoya Peninsula real estate

Is Nicoya a town or the peninsula?

Both exist. Nicoya is an inland town, but the name mostly refers to the whole peninsula — that is the scope of this page, covering all of our listings.

Which area is most affordable?

Puerto Carrillo and the streets set back from Sámara offer the lowest entry prices for built property. For land, the Santa Cruz sector holds the widest choice.

How do you get to the peninsula?

Through Liberia international airport, around two hours' drive from Sámara, or via San José, somewhat further. Local airstrips serve Nosara, Sámara and Carrillo.
