Costa Rica's famous Malpais is considered to be a surfers paradise, offering
beach living at its best. The beaches of Malpais and Santa
Teresa are interconnected by miles of beautiful white sand.
The waves here are strong in both areas, making it ideal for
surf and sea sport. Malpais was recently rated "One of the 10 most beautiful beaches in the world" by Forbes Magazine.
Both villages of Malpais and Santa Teresa have grown rapidly in the past four years. This is noted by the many private homes and cabina projects which
testify to the increasing commercial interest in the area. Good restaurants and bars have made their mark and there's
a new commercial center at the crossroads of Malpais and Santa Teresa. Malpais now has its own gas station, and will have two banks.
If it's Costa Rica beachfront real estate that you're
looking for, there are many properties available in Malpais and Santa Teresa.
Tropisphere also features many fabulous ocean view properties available in the hills of Mal Pais, Santa Teresa, Playa Hermosa and Manzanillo.
