Playa Hermosa Vacation Rentals

No. This Playa Hermosa is located on Costa Rica’s Central Pacific Coast, just 10 minutes south of Jaco Beach. It’s a small surf town with modern homes, black-sand beach, and easy access to Jaco’s restaurants, nightlife, and tours. The Playa Hermosa in Guanacaste is a completely different area in the northwest of the country.

Playa Hermosa is about a 10-minute drive from Jaco and roughly 15–20 minutes from Los Sueños Resort & Marina. Many guests stay in Hermosa for the quiet atmosphere and modern homes, then head into Jaco for dining, shopping, nightlife, and tours.

Yes. Hermosa is peaceful and great for families, but the ocean currents can be strong. Many parents prefer their kids to enjoy the villa pool, boogie boards, or surfboards rather than free-swimming in the waves. For small children or true beginners, the gentler waters at Jaco Beach are usually better.

Hermosa is known for its powerful, consistent surf, ideal for intermediate and advanced surfers. Most beginners take their lessons on Jaco Beach, where the waves are softer and easier to learn on. We can arrange lessons for any level.

Several villas are short walking distance to the beach, especially homes in Hermosa Palms and beachfront zones. Others are slightly elevated with ocean views and quick access by car or golf cart. Each villa page and the interactive map above show the exact location.

Hermosa attracts surf groups, wellness-oriented travelers, families, couples, and corporate retreats. Guests love the quiet atmosphere, modern villas, and private pools—while still enjoying the option of going into Jaco for dining, nightlife, shopping, and tours.

Absolutely. All Hermosa rentals booked through JacoVIP include full concierge service: airport transportation, private chefs, bartenders, spa treatments, groceries pre-stocking, adventure tours, fishing charters, surf coaching, and more.
