Mal Pais: Tropical Hideaway

Nestled at the southern tip of Costa Rica’s Nicoya Peninsula lies the remote beach town of Mal Pais – a hidden gem offering a tranquil escape in a tropical paradise. Once a sleepy fishing village, Mal Pais has retained its peaceful, small-town charm while growing as a laidback surfing destination and celebrity hideaway. Much quieter than nearby Santa Teresa, this off-the-grid destination allows you to immerse yourself in the easy-going Pura Vida lifestyle without the crowds. Swaying palm trees fringe lush hills tumbling down to perfect golden sand beaches, which have been voted among the top 10 beaches in the world by publications such as Forbes. The cry of howler monkeys echoes as scarlet macaws flutter overhead in this untouched natural haven.

Outdoor Playground for Water Lovers

With its great waves, Mal Pais attracts surfers of all levels from far and wide. Ride the epic break at Playa Carmen or take lessons to up your skill level or, if you prefer a more leisurely swim, head to the calm waters at Playa Suecos to snorkel with tropical fish. If you prefer other water sports, try your hand at kayaking or paddleboarding. The adventure continues on shore with horseback rides on the beach, yoga classes, and spectacular wildlife viewing in the nearby 4,500-acre Cabo Blanco Nature Reserve.

Celebrity-Approved Sanctuary

With its lush jungle-covered landscapes and ultra-private estates, Mal Pais has become a hideaway for celebs such as Mel Gibson and Gisele Bündchen seeking anonymity in a natural paradise. Discover luxurious villas nestled in the hills with jaw-dropping views of the endless ocean and towards Cabo Blanco. Alternatively, vacant land is available offering the opportunity to build a custom architectural masterpiece on your very own private patch of paradise.
