Casa Maya: A Cultural Masterpiece in the Heart of Las Catalinas

Casa Maya: A Cultural Masterpiece in the Heart of Las Catalinas

A Home Rooted in Story, Elevated by Design

Welcome to Casa Maya, a residence that transcends architecture to become a celebration of history, culture, and refined living. Set in the vibrant heart of Las Catalinas, this custom-designed five-bedroom, six-and-a-half-bathroom home is a masterclass in craftsmanship—offering both intimate serenity and direct access to one of Costa Rica’s most exclusive beach communities.

In a market brimming with fine homes, Casa Maya stands apart. Not only does it represent one of the most desirable properties for sale in Las Catalinas, but it also captures the essence of the place—honoring the traditions of Mesoamerican civilizations while delivering every modern comfort. And with the golden sands of Playa Danta just a one-minute walk from your front door, this home offers a rare blend of cultural depth and barefoot luxury.

 

Architectural Elegance Meets Artistic Soul

As you step through the gated entryway, you're welcomed by an enchanting courtyard centered around a plunge pool and soothing water features. This alfresco space serves as the heart of Casa Maya—blurring the lines between indoor and outdoor living thanks to large pocket doors that open fully to the kitchen, dining, and living areas.

Inside, every detail tells a story. The handmade Lenca tile backsplash and stairs, created by Honduras’ Indigenous artisans, lend vibrant texture and historical depth. The dining area features an original yolk repurposed as a chandelier, crafted by a Chorotegan artist, while Navajo-inspired clay lamps add warm, ambient lighting above the kitchen island. Vaulted ceilings of Costa Rican hardwood crown these communal spaces, evoking a sense of both grandeur and warmth.

In a sea of coastal homes, Casa Maya is a luxury home in Las Catalinas that feels both rooted and rare—a piece of architectural art, shaped by the past and ready for the future.

 

Space to Gather, Room to Retreat

With five generously appointed bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms, Casa Maya is perfectly designed for flexibility, privacy, and multi-generational living. Three of the bedrooms in the main house feature king-size beds, while a bunk room comfortably sleeps eight—ideal for families, groups, or children’s quarters.

The primary suite, located on its own level, offers the ultimate sanctuary: a private balcony overlooking the town, serene décor, and total seclusion.

Two additional bedrooms are fully independent lock-off apartments, each with a private entrance, kitchenette, and the option to connect through a second shared laundry room. ADA-compliant and fully versatile, these spaces can be used for long- or short-term rentals, guest quarters, or even private studios. It’s the kind of smart design that makes this property a standout among real estate for sale in Las Catalinas.

 

A Beach Town Like No Other

If you're unfamiliar with Las Catalinas, consider this: it’s not just a destination—it’s a curated lifestyle. Modeled after a Mediterranean seaside village, Las Catalinas is pedestrian-friendly and car-free, designed to foster community, wellness, and sustainability. Lush dry tropical forests surround the town, offering world-class hiking and biking trails, panoramic ocean view lookouts, and abundant wildlife.

Just steps from Casa Maya, residents enjoy the comforts of the town’s charming plazas, boutique shops, wellness spas, and gourmet restaurants—all in a walkable, welcoming environment. Playa Danta, the community’s beachfront jewel, is ideal for swimming, paddleboarding, and watching the sunset.

Ownership also grants access to the Las Catalinas Beach Club, which includes two resort-style pools, a lap pool, ocean-view gym, restaurant, and boutique retail space.

For those looking to invest in properties for sale in Las Catalinas, this is more than real estate—it’s an opportunity to be part of a lifestyle movement that blends nature, culture, and luxury.

 

Location, Lifestyle, and Long-Term Value

One of Casa Maya’s greatest assets is its prime location—a true “walk-everywhere” home in the very core of Las Catalinas. Yet beyond the front door lies a world of convenience:

  • 10 minutes to the new Flamingo Marina, now welcoming international yachts and fishing vessels.

  • 15 minutes to top international schools, including La Paz and CRIA.

  • 45 minutes to Liberia International Airport, offering direct flights to major U.S. and European hubs.

With Costa Rica’s luxury real estate market gaining global attention, homes in Las Catalinas continue to appreciate in value—driven by high rental demand, community exclusivity, and limited inventory. Casa Maya’s lock-off apartments, high-occupancy design, and ADA-compliance make it a particularly attractive short-term rental or vacation property for savvy investors.
