Las Olas: Beachfront Concession Land for Sale in Dominical, Costa Rica

Property overview

Las Olas is 3.75 acres (15,362 m²) of beachfront concession land in Dominical with full entitlements for hotel, condominium, and commercial development already secured. The terrain is flat, the ocean frontage is direct, and the parcel has approvals in place for a 120-key luxury hotel, branded residences, and supporting resort amenities. For a developer evaluating the southern Pacific coast, the combination of flat beachfront land with entitlements already in hand is the defining variable — and Las Olas has both.

The property sits in the heart of the Costa Ballena region with direct access to the beach and the main highway. It is 2.5 hours from San José via the coastal highway, 25 minutes from Quepos regional airport, and positioned between Manuel Antonio and Marino Ballena National Parks. The site can be developed independently or integrated into a larger adjacent master-planned project, adding flexibility for phasing and scale. Utilities and infrastructure are readily available. Zoning covers hotel, condominium, commercial, and hospitality use.

The Southern Zone market context supports the investment case: the region has recorded 7% annual tourism growth, population growth of over 5% — more than double the national average — and sits within reach of 10-plus national parks and reserves. Dominical's surf culture, growing dining and wellness scene, and rising luxury demand make it one of the more active real estate markets on Costa Rica's Pacific coast.

Las Olas is a properly entitled, strategically located site ready for a serious development program. The flat topography translates directly into lower construction costs and faster buildout timelines compared to hillside or irregular coastal parcels.
