Set steps from one of Guanacaste’s most consistent surf breaks, Black Coast Estates is a private residential sanctuary shaped by dry tropical forest, dark volcanic rock, and the unhurried rhythm of Playa Negra. Forty-two homes are woven into the landscape rather than imposed upon it — a place made for slow mornings, long afternoons, and a life lived largely outdoors.
Black Coast Estates is a limited collection of private residences gathered around shared gardens, walking trails, two surf stations, and a wellness house built for movement and recovery.
Every element is intended to hold the ease and texture of Playa Negra while offering the comfort, privacy, and permanence of a home that is genuinely your own.

Begin with yoga as the heat lifts, unwind into a massage, paddle out at the break, or ride the forest trails before breakfast. This is the slow living Playa Negra is known for, where days are shaped by light and tide rather than by schedules.
Within the gate, the wellness house gathers a gym, an open-air yoga deck, sauna, and cold plunge beneath the canopy, so restoration is never more than a short walk from your door.
Playa Negra remains gloriously itself: a handful of owner-run kitchens, surf shops, hand-painted signs, and a pace that has never been in any hurry to change.
Visitors arrive curious and leave already planning the way back.

This is Guanacaste’s tropical dry forest: open, sun-washed, and seasonal. Howler monkeys begin before dawn, parrots cross the canopy in pairs, and the forest reveals itself to anyone patient enough to look.
The residences sit within that landscape rather than above it, with mature trees kept where they stood and ocean air moving through every room.
Fish landed that morning, tortillas pressed to order, fruit from the weekly market, and long open-air dinners minutes from your door — the nutrient-dense table of the Nicoya Peninsula, one of the world’s five Blue Zones, close enough to become routine.
