Costa Rica tops list of 'happiest' nationsStory Highlights
•Costa Rica beats out Dominican Republic as "happiest" place in world

•Independent British group claims Costa Ricans have world's highest life satisfaction

•Central American nation also praised for its environmental efforts

(CNN) -- Forget Disneyland! Costa Rica is the happiest place in the world, according to an independent research group in Britain with the goal of building a new economy, "centered on people and the environment."

Costa Rica is known for its lush rain forests and pristine beaches.
In a report released Saturday, the group ranks nations using the "Happy Planet Index," which seeks countries with the most content people.

In addition to happiness, the index by the New Economics Foundation considers the ecological footprint and life expectancy of countries.

"Costa Ricans report the highest life satisfaction in the world and have the second-highest average life expectancy of the new world (second to Canada)," the organization said in a statement.

They "also have an ecological footprint that means that the country only narrowly fails to achieve the goal of ... consuming its fair share of the Earth's natural resources."

The Central American country, tucked between Nicaragua and Panama, touts its lush rain forests and pristine beaches. Its president, Oscar Arias Sanchez, won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1987 for trying to help end civil wars in several Central American countries.

This year's survey, which looked at 143 countries, featured Latin American nations in nine of the Top 10 spots.


The runner-up was the Dominican Republic, followed by Jamaica, Guatemala and Vietnam.

Most developed nations lagged in the study.

While Britain ranked 74th, the United States snagged the 114th spot, because of its hefty consumption and massive ecological footprint.

The United States was greener and happier 20 years ago than it is today, the report said.

Other populous nations, such as China and India, had a lower index brought on by their vigorous pursuit of growth-based models, the survey suggested.

"As the world faces the triple crunch of deep financial crisis, accelerating climate change and the looming peak in oil production, we desperately need a new compass to guide us," said Nic Marks, founder of the foundation's center for well-being.

Marks urged nations to make a collective global change before "our high-consuming lifestyles plunge us into the chaos of irreversible climate change."

The report, which was first conducted in 2006, covers 99 percent of the world population, the statement said.

  • We stayed a week in June at Casa Pura Paz and we couldn't have had a better time. The house was incredible. Kim and Ken were gracious hosts who went out of thier to make us feel comfortable. Ken hooked us us with fresh red snapper and tuna that we ate all week. We brought my mother-in-law with us so that she could look after our 11 month old while we explored the area. The house turned out to be great for our small child. Staircases closed off and the balconeys safe. Another highlight was the sushi chef that we hired for dinner one night. What a meal. Overall, one of the best managed homes that we've stayed in. Thanks to Kim and Ken for making our vacation so much fun.

  • We recently traveled to Costa Rica and stayed at Ken and Kim's mansion by the sea. It was everything we expected and more. The house was comfortable, conveniently located, and private. Our hosts made sure that we had just what we needed and were available to answer our questions or help us navigate the area. When traveling to Costa Rica we recommend staying at this wonderful home. It really was the high point of our trip!

  • From Mike and Mina in Washington, DC: We stayed with my wife's family at Casa Pura Paz in late August 2009. We LOVED it. The house is beautiful. The wildlife came to us -- Capuchins, Squirrel Monkeys, Howlers, sloths (lots of active sloths), iguanas, toads, and more. The private paths and beaches provide a whole new -- and better -- Manuel Antonio experience (this is our third visit to MA). Ken and Kim were very gracious hosts and it is very convenient to have them so close to the rental property. We would highly recommend this house to families or groups.

  • Casa Pura Paz is well named. The home is lovely, comfortable and secluded, and even more beautiful than it appears in the pictures. We enjoyed our morning coffee and afternoon snacks on the deck with the monkeys and birds and butterflies. We will definitely return to this paradise.

  • Oh, we loved this place! We were 3 couples who travel together a lot. We had an unpleasant experience in our previous vrbo rental home in Guanacaste, so we were nervous. But as soon as we arrived, we knew that we were in heaven! Ken and Kim are awesome hosts - they attended to our every need. We just loved the house - it was clean and comfortable - we couldn't stay out of the garden pool - so refreshing! The view was awesome - we took hundreds of pictures every day. We spent a glorious week here and didn't really want to go sightseeing because we thought we had everything a person could wish for right at the house! Jose and Maria made sure all was OK every day - and Maria's breakfasts were scrumptious! We enjoyed Chef Rey and his perfect dinners on two occasions. We can't say enough wonderful comments about this beautiful home in Costa Rica - the days went too fast and we enjoyed ourselves way more than we had ever dreamed possible! The pictures do not do justice to the home - it is beautiful and just perfect for a group or family. We will definite recommend this home and will stay here again!

  • Pura Paz was a great vacation house. The pictures don't lie and they don't do the house enough justice. The place is absolutely gorgeous. The wildlife was amazing. We saw monkeys and sloths almost every day. The bird watching was also great. Manuel Antonio is a wonderful area. Tons to do and see. The house was a wonderful home base for the 10 days we spent there.

  • My wife and I spent a wonderful week here. We were greeted every morning with breathtaking views of the turquoise, emerald green waters below us. And then in just a 10 minute walk through the rain forest were enjoying the beautiful, secluded beach and Pre-Columbian turtle traps. The afternoon dip in the pool was refreshing.Cooking out as we watched the sun set over over the Pacific was incredible. And in the tranquility of the tropical night... drinking wine, looking at the stars and hearing the waves nearby was unforgettable. And after all that we saw 3 kinds of monkeys and a sloth from the deck. Couldn't have been better.

  • This is the start of our 3rd day here and we want to stay forever. This website does not do the house justice. It is amazing. You could spend your entire vacation never leaving the house and have a fabulous time. The house is huge. We have 3 couples and we each have our own floor so you have your privacy with plenty of space to be together also. We have already used the outdoor kitchen/bar for a meal followed by a dip in the pool. From the deck we have seen 2 different types of monkeys and today found a family of 5 sloths. Ken and Kim are very welcoming and make you feel at home. You will definitely not be dissapointed if you rent this house - quite the contrary you will love it.
