World Class Surf Spot

According to Federico Pilurzu, 2006 Central American Surf Champion and ASP Member, "Marbella is the most consistent beach break in the North Pacific Coast".

Marbella offers two incredible options for surfers: Playa Frijolar and Playa Coco.
Playa Frijolar is a left hand point break, featuring great waves ideal for beginners and fun for experienced surfers as well.
Playa Coco is a beach break featuring peaking A frame waves and incredible barrels. This area is great for all levels of surfing, and when big... it is excellent for the more experienced surfer.

High Property Appreciation

In recent years, Guanacaste has experienced an explosion in real estate, which has naturally increased the price of land. Since there is still a lot of land available here in Marbella , all investment opportunities in this area anticipate high earnings.
Key factors for development in Guanacaste are the proximity to beautiful beaches and exceptional surf breaks.
Strategically located, Marbella is under an hour from Tamarindo (North) and Nosara (South). In these 2 destinations the prices of land, condos, and houses are at least 4 times higher.
Marbella offers affordable prices on property. Breathtaking ocean views, larger size lots, and unique farming oppurtuinites to develop that do not have to be out of your budget. As the prices in neighboring areas increase the demand for larger affordable lots will increase

Safety & Tranquility

"In Marbella you will find a true sense of peace, harmony and tranquility that could not be described until you experience it for yourself. The people of Costa Rica are truly the most magnificent individuals I have ever met. I am greeted daily with a handshake and always a big smile! There is a genuine love between the natives and myself. For this reason, I am here. The Costa Rican lifestyle is best described as "Pura Vida" which means the pure life."
