Why they chose this property
It’s a truly hidden gem on Costa Rica’s Pacific coast — serene, lush, and just remote enough to feel like your own private slice of paradise, yet close enough to enjoy the restaurants, shops, and activities of Playas del Coco (just 10 minutes away).
What makes this neighborhood truly special is the secluded black-sand beach, Playa Azul. Unlike busier tourist beaches, it’s quiet, peaceful, and perfect for morning walks, snorkeling, or simply lounging under the sun with a good book. The lush tropical surroundings and ocean views from nearly every angle instantly create a sense of calm and connection with nature.
We also love that the Bahía Pez Vela gated community offers both security and resort-style amenities, like the Maracuya Beach Club, concierge services, and boat tours right from the shore. Whether you want to relax poolside, take an adventure to Arenal Volcano, or dine beachside with your toes in the sand, this neighborhood offers the perfect balance of luxury and nature.
