B&B

Discover our modern Bed & Breakfast, just a 4-minute walk from the beautiful sandy beach of Playa Matapalo. This picturesque kilometre-long beach, free of rocks and stones, invites you to take relaxing walks and offers you the opportunity to explore the local flora and fauna.

Our special highlight is the proximity to the area of the famous Manuel Antonio National Park, which is not open to the public and borders directly on Matapalo. Many of the animals that live in the national park can also be observed here in Matapalo. Monkeys, macaws, toucans and sloths live in the trees on the beach. With a bit of luck, you may even spot dolphins, whales and turtles. During the nesting season, our beach is a favourite place for sea turtles to lay their eggs.

Matapalo is the perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle of the tourist hotspots. Here, the crowds are unknown and you can experience the true meaning of peace and relaxation.

Thanks to our central location, Matapalo is an excellent starting point for day trips along the southern Pacific coast of Costa Rica. From Manuel Antonio to Corcovado National Park and the lively surfing town of Dominical, everything is within easy reach. Even inland destinations such as the Nauyaca waterfalls and Chirripó National Park are within easy reach from here.

Although Matapalo has retained its original charm, we still offer you plenty of dining options, including four restaurants and several "sodas" (local snack bars).

Our central location means you can easily walk to two restaurants and a small supermarket, while the other restaurants and sodas are within 1.2 kilometres of the village. We recommend travelling by rental car, as there are no ATMs, taxis or nearby bus stops (1.3 km away) in Matapalo.
Despite its remoteness, more and more tourists travelling the country by bus have recently found their way here to experience the beauty of our tranquil beach.

Matapalo is also a real insider tip for surfers. While the line-up in Dominical gets more and more crowded when the waves are good, you will still find unspoilt surf spots in Matapalo that you may only share with a few other surfers. We are avid surfers ourselves and know how luxurious it is to have waves all to ourselves. Our beach, unlike Dominical, is free of rocks, which means smoother waves and makes it an ideal spot for beginners and intermediates. However, that doesn't mean that pros don't get their money's worth, as they can enjoy plenty of waves due to the smaller crowds and can even choose their waves at a secluded spot.
