Hacienda Pinilla
4,500-Acre Coastal Ranch Community Where Nature Meets Luxury
Hacienda Pinilla represents Costa Rica's original master-planned beach community—a 4,500-acre historic ranch property along Guanacaste's Pacific coast featuring 3 miles of pristine beaches, Mike Young championship golf course, and diverse residential neighborhoods where horses graze alongside luxury homes. This working ranch maintains its authentic agricultural character while offering modern resort amenities, creating a distinctly Costa Rican setting unlike typical resort developments.
Beaches, Golf & Lifestyle
Three miles of private beaches include the renowned "Little Hawaii" surf break, multiple swimming beaches, and protected sea turtle nesting sites—exclusive to residents and resort guests. The award-winning Mike Young 18-hole championship course features three dramatic oceanside holes, consistently rated among Central America's finest layouts. Miles of maintained trails for hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding wind through forests, pastures, and along coastal bluffs. Established community groups for running, surfing, cycling, and social gatherings create immediate connection for new residents.
