Quick answer: Tamarindo Park is a new master-planned gated community on the reforested hillside between Tamarindo and Playa Langosta in Guanacaste. According to the developer's official site, the property covers about 37 hectares (roughly 91 acres), the master plan contemplates around 220 tropical-contemporary homes delivered in phases, and the developer states a commitment to keeping as much as 75% of the property natural. The first phase - the Hilltop - launched with 32 homes plus building lots, with homes designed by Costa Rican architect Richard Müller.
Location
The site occupies the hills connecting Tamarindo to Playa Langosta - effectively the last large undeveloped parcel between the two. The developer describes the Hilltop phase as about a ten-minute walk from the beach and downtown Tamarindo. Tamarindo's services, restaurants and surf are the immediate draw; Langosta's quieter beach sits on the other side. For families, Tamarindo's international schools - Educarte and Journey School - are a short drive.
Development layout and property types
Per the developer's news updates, Phase I (the Hilltop) sits at the community entrance and consists of 32 homes plus a release of lots, with the first thirteen homes reported delivered. Homes are designed under Richard Müller - one of Costa Rica's most established residential architects - ranging from four to eight bedrooms, and the developer describes them as tailored to each homesite, often designed around existing trees. Later phases extend the master plan toward the ~220-home total.
Amenities - planned versus delivered
The developer's published amenity plan includes a wellness and fitness center, a sports club, an ocean-view sunset club, paddle courts, a community garden, hiking and mountain-bike trails and a small commercial area. In any young community, the honest question is not "what is planned" but "what is delivered, and what is contractually committed with dates." Ask for that distinction in writing.
Sustainability claims
The developer states that roughly 75% of the property will remain natural and describes reforestation, permaculture and regenerative-agriculture practices. These are the developer's own commitments - attributed here to Tamarindo Park's published materials - and a buyer who values them should ask how they are legally anchored: in the master plan, the HOA covenants, or marketing language alone. The difference matters.
HOA and construction documents to request
- The HOA's formation documents, current budget and fee schedule, and who controls the HOA during build-out (developer vs. owners)
- Delivery timelines for your phase's amenities, and remedies if they slip
- Construction guidelines: what you may build on a lot, approval process, and any build-time requirements
- Utility commitments for your lot - water especially (read what a water letter is before you buy any lot in Guanacaste)
- The lot's registered survey plan and boundaries (how planos catastrados work)
- The full due-diligence checklist with your attorney
Buying here
A young development is a different risk profile from a 20-year-old neighborhood: the upside of early pricing against the execution risk of phased delivery.

Sources & Verification
- Tamarindo Park - official site - master plan, size, sustainability commitments
- Tamarindo Park - Hilltop progress - phase status and deliveries
- Home counts, the 75% preservation figure, walk-time and amenity plans are the developer's published claims and should be re-verified at contract time; HOA and construction rules are not fully published and must be requested.
