Community Guide

Costa Rica's premier gated resort community — where beach, golf, and nature meet a world-class residential lifestyle.

About the community

Reserva Conchal is an amenity-rich, gated resort community on Playa Conchal in Guanacaste's Cabo Velas region, known for its bright, shell-speckled shoreline and easy lock-and-leave lifestyle for both part-time and full-time owners. Spanning roughly 2,300 acres, the community combines residential neighbourhoods with protected natural areas, resort infrastructure, and a wide range of lifestyle amenities.

With its mix of beach access, golf, dining, wellness, and security, Reserva Conchal appeals to buyers who want a more complete residential and resort experience in one of the most established coastal communities in Guanacaste.
