Peninsula Papagayo Real Estate FAQ
Clear answers to what buyers ask us most about Peninsula Papagayo — the residences, the resorts, pricing, ownership, and life on Costa Rica’s most exclusive private peninsula. For anything binding on taxes, title, or legal structure, confirm with your attorney or contador.
Where is Peninsula Papagayo and how do I get there?
Peninsula Papagayo is a private, gated peninsula on the Gulf of Papagayo in northern Guanacaste, roughly 25–30 minutes from Liberia International Airport (LIR) — among the most convenient luxury addresses in Costa Rica for North American travelers.
What makes Peninsula Papagayo special?
It is Costa Rica's premier master-planned coastal estate: a 1,400-acre private peninsula with controlled access, an Arnold Palmer Signature golf course, the Marina Papagayo, miles of protected coastline and private beaches, and three of the country's finest resorts — Four Seasons, Andaz by Hyatt, and the new Nekajui, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve.
What residential options are available?
Ownership ranges from branded condominiums and villas to custom estates. The headline offerings include the Four Seasons Private Residences at Prieta Bay, the Andaz Residences, and branded residences at the Ritz-Carlton Reserve, alongside custom homesites and trophy estates.
What do properties cost on Peninsula Papagayo?
Branded condominiums have started around US$1.8 million, villas and residences run from roughly US$4 million, and custom estates have reached US$25 million. Pricing reflects the brand, location, view, and level of resort service.
Is buying here a good investment?
Limited supply, globally recognized hotel brands, marina access, and top-tier infrastructure support both long-term appreciation and strong rental yields, with professional rental programs available through the resort residences.
Can foreigners own property on Peninsula Papagayo?
Yes. Foreign buyers hold the same ownership rights as Costa Ricans for titled property, which is how Peninsula residences are held. Many buyers purchase through a Costa Rican corporation for convenience and estate planning. Confirm the specifics with a Costa Rican attorney before committing.
What amenities do residents enjoy?
Residents have access to the Marina Papagayo, the golf course, beach clubs, the Prieta Beach Club, hiking and biking trails, water sports, kids' programs, and the dining and spa facilities of the on-peninsula resorts — with concierge and rental management on hand.
Are there good schools nearby?
Families typically look to Lakeside International School in nearby Sardinal and La Paz Community School in Cabo Velas, with additional options in Liberia. We are happy to make introductions based on your child's needs.
What is there to do at Papagayo?
Golf the Arnold Palmer course, keep a yacht at the marina, sportfish and dive the Gulf of Papagayo, relax at the beach clubs, and explore Guanacaste's volcanoes, hot springs, and national parks — all within easy reach of Liberia's airport.
How private and secure is the Peninsula?
Access is gated and staffed around the clock, with the entire peninsula operating as a single, professionally managed private community — a key reason discreet international buyers choose it.
