GUANACASTE, COSTA RICA / ACCESS Newswire / November 5, 2025 / A new wave of eco-conscious real estate investment is taking root in Costa Rica, with the launch of Guanavista, a gated beach community in Costa Rica designed entirely around the principles of regenerative and sustainable living. The project, located on the country's Pacific Coast, is part of a broader national movement attracting global investors seeking environmentally responsible opportunities in one of the world's most forward-thinking green economies.
Costa Rica has long been recognized as a global model for environmental governance, with over 98% of its electricity generated from renewable sources. The nation's 2019 National Decarbonization Plan, which targets net-zero emissions by 2050, has made it a preferred destination for ESG-driven investors. This policy consistency has allowed sustainable developments such as Guanavista to thrive in alignment with the country's environmental objectives.
Guanavista today announced the next phase of its master-planned coastal development. As a gated beach community in Costa Rica, it incorporates solar-powered infrastructure, native landscaping, and strict low-density construction standards designed to protect local ecosystems. The community also partners with Costa Rican NGOs on biodiversity initiatives and prioritizes the use of local materials and labor throughout the building process.
The global trend toward sustainability is reshaping property investment priorities. A 2024 Knight Frank report revealed that 42% of ultra-high-net-worth investors now view sustainability as a central factor in their real estate portfolios. This has accelerated international demand for eco-focused developments, particularly in stable, environmentally advanced countries like Costa Rica.
Situated along the Pacific corridor, Guanavista offers both financial and ecological value. As a gated beach community in Costa Rica, it combines modern comforts with long-term environmental stewardship, utilizing renewable energy systems, rainwater harvesting, and walkable layouts that minimize dependence on vehicles. These measures aim to protect coastal biodiversity while ensuring long-term livability and value appreciation.
"Today's investors want their portfolios to reflect purpose. Guanavista represents the next generation of real estate where environmental integrity enhances long-term value and lifestyle quality." Doug Starcke - Co Founder Guanavista
Costa Rica's appeal has also grown due to global lifestyle migration trends. The rise of remote work, coupled with the nation's political stability, modern healthcare, and reputation for conservation, continues to attract investors and families looking for balance, community, and natural beauty. Developments like Guanavista are redefining what it means to invest in a gated beach community in Costa Rica - not only as a lifestyle choice but as a statement of environmental commitment.
As investors increasingly integrate Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles into their portfolios, Guanavista demonstrates that sustainability and profitability can coexist. The project's design philosophy and partnership-based approach are setting a precedent for how future coastal developments across Latin America can blend ecological integrity with responsible growth.
