Living in Costa Rica

Three of the area's most beautiful beaches are within minutes of Hacienda Matapalo — Playa Linda, Playa Matapalo and Playa Ventanas. Whether it is walking the sand for that perfect seashell, horseback riding on the beach, or just soaking up the sun while palms sway in the ocean breeze, you have abundant choices and activities waiting for you at Hacienda Matapalo.

Enjoy our private beach club where owners and guests can spend the day and then rinse off in a cool shower before heading back home. If adventure is what you seek, you will soon see why the area is often called "Nature's Playground." Follow a whim. Surfing, white-water rafting, sport fishing, mountain biking, scuba diving, rappelling and treetop zip lining are just some of the daily activities here. Prefer something a little tamer? Try cloud forest walks, world-renowned bird watching, butterfly garden tours and even whale encounters. From Hacienda Matapalo you may seek out your own experiences. Only minutes away and easily accessible are a few of Costa Rica's most precious gems. For example: The seaside village of Dominical, the warm and welcoming town of San Isidro, Manuel Antonio (home to Costa Rica's most visited National Park), and Quepos (where world class sport fishing takes place year round).
