Bonita Beach
Sanctuary · Foundation
Where the rainforest meets the Pacific — eight hundred meters of coast at one of the densest concentrations of life on Earth.
A single stroke of coast between two national parks.
Eight hundred meters of uninterrupted Pacific frontage at Matapalo Beach — between Manuel Antonio and Marino Ballena, at the heart of one of the most biodiverse coastlines on Earth.
Costa Rica holds roughly five percent of the planet's known species on three one-hundredths of one percent of its surface. The strip of central Pacific coast that runs between Manuel Antonio and Marino Ballena sits near the densest expression of that fact — where lowland tropical rainforest reaches the sea without interruption, and the same morning carries the sound of howler monkeys in the canopy and humpback whales offshore.
The property runs north–south along the shoreline, with the Río Savegre — one of the cleanest rivers in Central America — emptying into the sea twenty minutes to the north, and the Marino Ballena whale corridor twenty-five minutes to the south. Behind the beach: rainforest rising into the foothills of the Talamanca range. In front: open Pacific.
The lands are fee-simple titled across ten registered fincas, with cadastral plans dated 2015–2025. Access from Juan Santamaría International (SJO) is two-and-a-half to three hours via Ruta Costanera Sur (Route 34). Quepos local airfield handles charter and domestic aircraft up to King Air class, thirty to forty minutes from the Central Valley.
Your neighbors are national parks, rivers and reefs — not other resorts.
Marino Ballena National Park
A humpback whale corridor where Pacific and Antarctic populations both pass through. Peak season July through October — calves are born in these waters.
Manuel Antonio National Park
Costa Rica's most photographed coastal park. Three-toed sloths, white-faced capuchins, scarlet macaws and red-eyed tree frogs share the forest with the visitors.
Río Savegre
Among the cleanest rivers in Central America. Community-managed from headwaters to estuary. White-water kayaking inland, mangrove channels at the mouth.
Sea Turtle Nesting
Olive Ridley (Lora), Green (Verde) and Leatherback (Baula) all nest within the property's eight hundred meters. Patrols already operate locally.
Waterfalls & Trails
A dense network of waterfalls in the foothills — Nauyaca, Diamante, Pavón — reachable by trail. Quiet, swimmable, mostly empty on weekdays.
An Interconnected System
Rivers, mountains, waterfalls and ocean make a single landscape. What protects the river protects the reef. What protects the canopy protects the turtles.
Own your own piece of jungle — and become the one who keeps it.
Ten private parcels along eight hundred meters of contiguous Pacific coast. Each one a piece of rainforest meeting the ocean. Each one cared for by the person who owns it.
The offer is simple. The land is divided into ten residential parcels, each with direct sand access and an interior portion of intact lowland rainforest. The owners are not buying a view. They are buying a place on Earth they have agreed to look after — the trees on it, the turtles that arrive on it, the silence that lives on it.
At the center of the property, a single resort is offered to one international hotelier whose conservation record is documented and whose architectural language begins with the land. The Lodge and the residences share one coastline, one beach club, one approach to what it means to live here without spoiling it.
This is what the central Pacific coast was, two generations ago. The point of owning a piece of it now is to make sure it stays that way for the next two.

01
The Coast
Eight hundred meters of contiguous Pacific frontage between two national parks — the longest single beachfront tract of its kind on this stretch of the Costa Rican Pacific.
-
02
The Rainforest
Lowland tropical forest behind the beach, rising into the foothills of the Talamanca range. Sloths, capuchins, macaws and tree frogs already live in the canopy each residence backs onto.

03
The Wildlife
Sea turtles — Olive Ridley, Green, Leatherback — nest on the eight hundred meters of beach from August through October. Humpback whales pass offshore in the same months. You see them from your terrace.

The Address
Twenty minutes to the Río Savegre. Twenty-five to Marino Ballena. Forty-five to Manuel Antonio. The whole interconnected system of rivers, mountains, waterfalls and ocean is on the doorstep.
Ten residences. One single beach. Ten keepers.
Each parcel offers direct sand access, an interior portion of rainforest, and the responsibility — accepted by every owner — to care for the land they hold. Indicative pricing reflects early-reservation tier; final structure subject to operator commitment.

For a single brand. By invitation.
The Lodge parcel is offered exclusively to a single international hotel operator whose conservation record is documented, whose architectural language begins with the land, and whose addresses are pilgrimages rather than destinations.
The institutional offer contemplates the fifteen-hectare Lodge parcel under fee-simple title, brand-license rights across the ten-residence collection, and long-term management of the beach club and spa. The remaining ten parcels are offered individually to private buyers who accept the same standard of stewardship that the operator's own brand will apply at the Lodge.
The thesis is straightforward — single shoreline, single architectural authority, ten owners who chose this place because of what surrounds it. The result, on opening, is a property whose conservation context is its native habitat, not a layer applied to it.

A single figure rarely explains a project. These, together, frame it.
Indicative figures, non-binding. Subject to audit, due diligence and operator close. Complete financial model and biodiversity baseline available under NDA.
The land was here first. May it outlast us.
Ten private parcels. One coastline. A community small enough that what each owner does — or does not do — to the land they hold becomes the future of the place. This is the offer to operators and to owners alike: one of the most beautiful places on Earth, kept beautiful by the people who live on it.
