Corozalito Blue Reserve | Protected Coastal Living in Guanacaste
Corozalito Blue Reserve is a 1,045 acre property on the Pacific coast of the Nicoya Peninsula where roughly 85 percent of the land is planned to remain protected reserve, and only about 15 percent is designated for development. The first residential phase, Serena Blue Residences, covers approximately 3 percent of the site. Most master plans on this coast are written to maximize what can be built. This one was written the other way, and the ratio is the single fact that defines the project: buyers here are not purchasing a lot next to forest, they are purchasing into a community where the forest is the majority shareholder.

What That Means in Practice
The conservation program runs beyond the land allocation itself: erosion control, reforestation, watershed protection, wildlife friendly lighting, waste management and composting, plus community workshops, educational programs, cultural activity, and local employment in the surrounding town. Corozalito Beach is a known nesting site for olive ridley turtles, with Pacific green, leatherback, and hawksbill turtles also recorded, and a mangrove estuary behind the beach supports migratory birds and wildlife including coyotes and coatis. Wildlife friendly lighting is not a marketing line in that context, it is a requirement of being there.
The Setting, Honestly
This is a remote stretch of coast, and that is the point of it. Corozalito sits between Islita and Bejuco beaches, south of Carrillo and Camaronal, in the Nandayure canton. The Punta Islita airstrip is in Corozalito itself, a few minutes from the reserve. Liberia International Airport is about 2 to 2.5 hours by car, and San José about 4.5 to 5 hours, with the drive running through Nicoya, Sámara, Hojancha, Carrillo, and Camaronal on a mix of paved and rural roads. Nosara, Sámara, and Carrillo are the nearest established towns for services. Buyers who want a five minute drive to a supermarket should look at the northern Guanacaste beaches instead. Buyers who want quiet, forest, and an empty beach are looking at exactly the right place.
Beaches and Surf
The coastline around the reserve is a run of quiet beaches: Corozalito Beach itself, Bejuco Beach, Maderos Beach and its estuary, and the viewpoint at Punta Islita. Between Corozalito and Bejuco there is also a hidden spot known mostly to locals, a small cove for swimming that is a place to surf too. At low tide, El Hueco de la Moncha near Bejuco forms natural pools where fresh and salt water meet. The developer’s Discover Corozalito day takes visitors through most of these places, with lunch at Mar y Tierra and an optional horseback ride on Carrillo Beach.
Serena Blue Residences
Serena Blue is the first residential expression of the master plan, offering both condominiums and private homes. Condominiums come in three layouts: Type A and Type B plans with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, and a Type C with three bedrooms and two and a half, starting at approximately 807 sq ft (75 m²). Private homes run from two to four bedrooms, starting at approximately 1,701 sq ft (158 m²), designed around indoor and outdoor living with private pools, terraces, and gardens. Architectural imagery in the current materials is illustrative, and designs and specifications remain subject to change.
Amenities
The planned amenity program centers on an infinity pool and solarium with a children’s pool and jacuzzi, a Social Bistro with lounge and kitchen, a gym and a dedicated yoga deck, a BBQ area, multipurpose courts, and a beach shuttle. Beyond the built amenities are the ones the site already had: nature paths, waterfalls, creeks, panoramic viewpoints, an orchard, and the tropical forest itself.

It suits buyers who want a quiet, nature focused stretch of the Pacific coast rather than a resort town, and who are comfortable with the remoteness that comes with it. The conservation led master plan limits how much can be built inside the reserve, which is the core of the long term argument.
