Playa Avellanas Real Estate | Surf Homes, Lots & Villas in Guanacaste, Costa Rica

Playa Avellanas: Costa Rica’s “Little Hawaii” Surf Town

Just south of Tamarindo, Playa Avellanas is one of Guanacaste’s most beloved surf beaches — a long, mangrove-backed stretch of sand with consistent breaks, the legendary Lola’s restaurant, and a deliberately low-key, low-density feel. It has stayed authentic where neighboring towns have grown, which is exactly why buyers seek it out.

The market runs from ocean-view building lots and boutique condos to custom villas in gated communities like The Enclave at Avellanas, with sections of the Hacienda Pinilla resort reaching into the area. Lots start around $100,000, homes from the low $300,000s, and luxury and beachfront properties from roughly $850,000. Whether you want a surf retreat, a rental investment, or land to build, KRAIN provides local representation through title and concession due diligence, S.A./S.R.L. structuring, financing, and residency.
