Playa Hermosa
Tranquil Beach Living with Modern Conveniences
Playa Hermosa offers nearly 2 miles of gray sand beach with calm swimming waters, spectacular sunsets, and small-town atmosphere just 5 minutes from Playas del Coco's services. With established gated communities, resort condominiums, and the upcoming Waldorf Astoria development, Hermosa attracts families, retirees, and investors seeking tranquil beach living with infrastructure support.
The Beach & Community
The protected bay provides calm Pacific waters ideal for swimming, paddleboarding, and snorkeling—particularly family-friendly compared to surf-heavy breaks nearby. The community blends approximately 60% Costa Rican residents with 40% international, creating a welcoming cultural mix with diverse dining, farmers markets, and active expat-organized events.
Real Estate Options
Villas Sol - Resort-style condominium complex with ocean-view units, multiple pools, onsite restaurants, and beachfront location. Popular with investors due to established rental programs.
Hermosa Heights - Gated community featuring homes and villas, resort pool, mini-golf, and the area's only movie theater.
Waldorf Astoria Costa Rica - Luxury hotel and residences under development on adjacent Playa Penca, elevating the area's profile.
Single-Family Homes - Range from beachfront to hillside ocean-view properties at various price points.
