Buying Property in Playa Avellanas

Avellanas is built around its beach: consistent surf for all levels, warm water and long stretches of soft sand. Development is low density and most access roads are gravel, which keeps the area quiet but means it is worth driving the route to any property you like before you decide.

Buyers range from surfers and wellness seekers to families moving full time and second-home owners. If you are looking at land, ask about road access, utilities and what can be built. Groceries, pharmacies and clinics in Tamarindo and Villareal are about 25 to 30 minutes away, and several schools run buses to the area.
