If Costa Rica is on your radar, you need to know about this beach town…
Just inland, you have lush jungle, rolling hills, bright wildlife, and glistening rivers—all the pristine nature that draws the world to Costa Rica. Then fronting this is one of the country’s most iconic coastlines—a sweeping two-mile arc of golden sand that’s attracted surfers and beach lovers for decades.
Between the jungle and the beach sits a walkable, upmarket community with great dining, cool cocktail bars, wellness retreats, and trendy boutiques.
This is a place that’s active, friendly, vibrant…and it has something else too: serious opportunity. Demand here is huge. Supply is tight. And the right real estate has serious capital appreciation and rental income potential.
Right now, I’m getting ready to bring members of my Real Estate Trend Alert (RETA) an incredible, off-market deal on ocean-view condos in this town. More on this in a moment.
First, in my new YouTube video, I walk you through this remarkable beach town and share four reasons why it needs to be on your radar right now…
In this video, I tell you about a town in the province of Guanacaste, in the northwest of Costa Rica, that I’ve ranked among my top five places in the world to buy real estate in 2026. Check out the video and then share your thoughts and questions in the comments.
Why This Beach Town Is My Top Pick in Costa Rica
Costa Rica is a truly special country…prosperous, safe, pristine, with a wealth of real estate opportunity in destinations ranging from its Pacific and Caribbean coasts to its sweeping pastoral interior.
But there’s one beach town there that ticks all the boxes for me…and that’s Tamarindo.
Let’s quickly run through my top four reasons why I rank this town as one of the most opportunity-filled destinations on my global beat…
Incredible Natural Beauty
Tamarindo is quintessential Costa Rica. Think warm Pacific breezes…brightly-colored birds flitting through lush jungle…swaying palms…laid-back surf culture…an upmarket, yet bohemian town…and a long, glorious, soft-sand beach that’s the beating heart of the community.
At sunset in Tamarindo, the whole town gathers on the sand. Kids play soccer. Locals ride horses along the shoreline. Tourists sip cocktails as the sky glows gold… It fosters a deep sense of calm and community. This is a place people want to be—on vacation, for an extended stay, or full-time.
Strong Accessibility
Tamarindo feels like another world, but it’s incredibly easy to get to.
The town is just 1 hour and 20 minutes from Liberia international airport—one of the best-connected airports in the region, with 18 to 22 flights daily to cities across the U.S. and Canada. Wherever you are in North America, you’re either a direct flight or an easy connection away.
This combination of beauty and accessibility is gold dust and it leads to…
Tamarindo’s two-mile beach is the heart of the community—walkable, surfable, and a constant draw for international visitors.
Tamarindo is the premier beach town of Costa Rica—easily among the most sought-after beach towns in the entire Pacific region. Walkable, lively, sun-drenched, and hugely popular with international travelers, this is one of the strongest rental markets on my global beat.
Year-Round Rental Demand
Travelers pay $400+ per night for top-quality two-bed ocean-view condos in peak season. And the demand doesn’t stop outside of the peak months. The shoulder seasons—once quiet—are now filled with remote workers, digital nomads, and long-stay vacationers.
This rental demand is really important, even if you’re buying primarily for personal use.
Having a strong rental market like this gives you options. If your personal situation changes and you can’t use your real estate for a period—or you decide later that you want to mix personal use with income—owning in Tamarindo means you can generate incredibly strong rental returns from your real estate whenever you’re not using it.
Rare and Powerful Capital Appreciation Potential
Supply in Tamarindo is limited. Much of the surrounding land is protected. This virgin forest can’t be touched. Even cleared land needs water permits—and these are hugely difficult to obtain in this part of Costa Rica.
This means supply is restricted and will remain so.
Combine growing demand with constricted supply and you have the recipe for strong capital appreciation. And that’s exactly the situation on the ground in Tamarindo today. It’s why the opportunity here is so powerful and so urgent.
I go into a lot more detail on each of these four points in my YouTube video. I also share details of the incredible new deal I’ve negotiated there exclusively for RETA members.

Wishing you good real estate investing,
P.S. The upcoming deal in Tamarindo is the first there in the 17-year history of my RETA group…
Thanks to the group-buying power of all RETA members and our deep connections in this region, RETA members are getting in first at exclusive, off-market pricing on stunning ocean-view condos perched on a flat section of hillside overlooking Tamarindo and the Pacific.
The location of these condos is exceptional—walkable to the beach, walkable to the dining, walkable to the surf…all while enjoying quiet, serenity, and the kind of panoramic views almost nobody else in town can get.
And not just ocean-view condos—ocean-view amenities. That alone is a massive rental draw. With Tamarindo’s juggernaut short-term-rental market—even using moderate occupancy assumptions—I think we’re looking at gross yields north of 16% annually, with personal use.
Around Tamarindo prices for an ocean-view two-bed condo with good amenities soar into the millions.
The RETA price is so, so much lower—starting from just $392,400 ranging to just $612,800 for the penthouse.
With this incredible, exclusive pricing, I expect gains of $307,600 just three years after delivery.
Stay tuned. I’ll share more on this incredible RETA members-only deal very soon… (Not a RETA member? Learn how you can join here and get access to our off-market deals, including this one.)
