Blue and white motifs echo the azure sea and the white sand just beyond at this traditionally inspired, thoughtfully appointed retreat in Guanacaste. Details abound, from statement-making arched windows to practical storage under banquette seating, and outside, the Pacific peeks through the trees. You’ll hardly need sandals for the quick walk to Las Catalinas Beach Club, and it’s 1 minute to town.

Start holiday mornings with a cup of Costa Rican coffee, sipped on the private terrace, then cool off in the plunge pool or at the beach. After a day out or in the water, fire up the gas barbecue for dinner at the alfresco table, then settle in by the smart TV, Wi-Fi, and wine fridge for an evening in the company of friends and family.

Sunshine spills through the arched door from the terrace into an open-concept living and dining area, where a blue and white color scheme and natural-fiber area rug evoke the seaside setting. Beyond the dining area is a fully equipped eat-in kitchen with bar seating at its central island and a leopard peering down from playful artwork.

This vacation rental has 4 bedrooms, all with king beds, ensuite bathrooms, and air conditioning. One of them has a kitchenette, making it the perfect private retreat for a couple wanting a second honeymoon. For larger parties, there’s also a spare room with a single bunk bed and lounge area.

A holiday at Las Catalinas gives you the luxury of being close to the beach, but in a walkable neighborhood that’s a little bit different from a typical beach town. Walk 1 minute to the shops and restaurants in the center of town, where you can browse for souvenirs by local artisans, pick up gourmet provisions for dinner, or socialize at the community’s beach club. Follow the paths to the shore for a swim or snorkel in the relatively calm waters off Danta Beach.
