The national park features hiking trails through lush rainforest that lead to stunning beaches perfect for swimming. The town offers a wide range of accommodations and restaurants, from backpacker hostels to luxury resorts—many with breathtaking ocean views. It’s also a hotspot for Manuel Antonio real estate, with stunning homes for sale and private villas overlooking the Pacific. Whether you’re looking for a luxury house for sale in Manuel Antonio Costa Rica or modern condos for sale, the area offers strong investment potential thanks to consistent tourism. Just down the hill, the city of Quepos has everything you need—banks, grocery stores, restaurants, and more. It’s also home to Marina Pez Vela, one of the best marinas in Costa Rica, known for world-class deep sea fishing for marlin, sailfish, tuna, and mahi mahi. Manuel Antonio is ideally located—30 minutes north of Playa Dominical and just 2.5 hours southwest of San José by car, or a quick 20-minute flight via the local airport in Quepos.
