COMMUNITY
Prestigious. Luxury. Ocean-view. There are so many words to describe the gated community of Mar Vista, Costa Rica, but perhaps the one you’ll like best is simply, “home.”
Situated on a privileged hilltop overlooking Pacific Ocean views, the new Flamingo Marina, and the spectacular trio of Playa Flamingo, Playa Brasilito, and Conchal Bay, the 750-acre community of Mar Vista is an easy choice for anyone seeking scenic panoramas, breathtaking natural surrounds, and an upscale lifestyle community.
This is sustainable luxury living, with an emphasis on both sustainability and luxury. Here, you can enjoy night-lit tennis courts and a community Clubhouse, a resort infinity pool and onsite fine dining, an onsite international school and groomed hiking and biking trails – all, while also knowing that your chosen home has created its own nature preserve, requires regenerative construction, houses waterfalls and a natural swimming hole, and encourages the lowest-possible carbon footprint.

Located in the hills of Playa Flamingo, overlooking the new Marina Flamingo, spectacular sunsets, and two of the most breathtaking beaches in Guanacaste, the gated community of Mar Vista, Costa Rica is not only one of the country’s most prestigious communities but now, with the Flamingo Marina opening, also one of the country’s most sought-after addresses.
The gated community of Mar Vista, Costa Rica is home to sweeping ocean views and what you’ll soon learn is one of Costa Rica’s harder-to-find amenities: spacious homesites! Indeed, of the community’s four neighborhoods, three offer average lots of 5,000 square meters, or about 1.25 acres.
You’ll find that many gated communities in Costa Rica have small lots and/or homesites. Not so at Mar Vista, where three of the community’s four neighborhoods (see below) offer homesites around 5,000 square meters (1.25 acres); at the fourth, “smaller” homesites (again, not compared to much of Costa Rica!) average a generous 1,000 square meters (0.25 acres).
The gated community of Mar Vista, Costa Rica is born of sustainability and environmental stewardship. From its inception, Mar Vista has committed to preserving 34% of its acreage as a nature preserve, thus reforesting and protecting Costa Rica’s precious biodiversity. As a resident, you’ll have access to this abundant flora and wildlife via the community’s trails (see below).
One of the community’s foremost lifestyle amenities, Mar Vista’s Clubhouse is home to an infinity-edge pool with a swim-up bar, playground, game room, and social areas, plus Gracia, an upscale onsite restaurant with ocean views.
Mar Vista offers pickleball, plus two well-lit clay tennis courts, ideal for day or evening play. What’s more, the community’s onsite tennis pros are available for lessons. So what are you waiting for? Grab your racket and hit the courts!
One of Costa Rica’s most prestigious international schools – and one of only a few IB programs in the Tamarindo area – is located right here, at La Paz Community School within Mar Vista. Imagine walking to school – no traffic!
La Paz practices both Two Way Dual Immersion (TWDI), which is a proven educational philosophy of long-term biliteracy (the curriculum is 50/50 English/Spanish) and thematic learning, which interrelates subject matter with real-world, big-picture applications. The school promotes life-long learning, peace, and pushing outside one’s comfort zone, while emphasizing a synthesis of community and the world, as well as family and self.

Mar Vista is diverse: While the community’s style, architecture, and design aesthetic are beautifully cohesive, they also allow owners the freedom to design and build a unique home.
You’ll find that most homes here are of the tropical modern or tropical contemporary style – that is, clean lines, sparkling pools, and ample glass, while employing weather-resistant materials and encouraging generous ocean breezes. And you’ll love the gentle nods to Guanacaste’s traditional hacienda-style architecture, most often expressed through exterior details, rather than the state-of-the-art home interiors.
Sustainability
From its inception, Mar Vista has prioritized sustainable luxury – that is, an upscale lifestyle that mitigates environmental impact, protects the community’s land, and produces the smallest possible carbon footprint.
The community has planted trees, both to provide food and to offset greenhouse emissions. Many homes have installed solar panels to cover some oall of their energy needs. Sediment pools are installed during construction processes to reduce erosion and preserve water quality. And the gated community of Mar Vista, Costa Rica also requires soil stabilization, revegetation, and regenerative practices in post-construction.
