A recent article by Travel + Leisure highlights Costa Rica as the happiest country in Latin America, and includes Las Catalinas among the places that reflect this way of life. It is always meaningful to see Town featured in global publications like this, especially within conversations centered around wellbeing and lifestyle.
The article places Costa Rica among the top five countries globally according to the latest World Happiness Report, pointing to factors that feel deeply familiar to those who spend time here, from a strong sense of community to a close relationship with nature. It also highlights the Nicoya Peninsula as one of the world’s original Blue Zones, where people tend to live longer and healthier lives.
Within this broader context, Las Catalinas is recognized as one of the country’s car free communities, where visitors can experience this way of life through walkable streets, access to nature, and time spent outdoors. It is part of a larger conversation about how design, community, and environment can come together to support a more intentional way of living.

This is part of the ongoing efforts by the Destination Marketing Team to position Las Catalinas within more global conversations as a destination where lifestyle, wellbeing, nature, and community overlap. Through coordinated press and media relations, as well as ongoing storytelling across platforms, these efforts continue to expand awareness of Town beyond the country’s borders, offering others a glimpse of what life here feels like.
