Why Nandayure? The Best-Kept Secret on the Nicoya Peninsula

You don’t arrive in Nandayure by accident—you choose it. And as the plane dips low over the Pacific and touches down at Punta Islita Airport, something shifts. The air smells different here and your pace of life changes.

The drive inland takes you past fields where horses roam freely, through valleys dotted with palm trees and mango groves. There are no big signs or loud promises. Nandayure doesn’t advertise itself. It simply unfolds around you—quietly, beautifully.

There’s a rhythm here that’s hard to describe. Morning light filters through the Guanacaste trees while fishermen head toward the coast, and families gather at pulperías for coffee and news. You’ll spot surfboards leaning against porches, dogs napping in the road, and someone always offering directions with a smile that says, tranquilo.

For travelers, it’s not a place you “do.” It’s a place you absorb. Maybe it’s the stretch of empty coastline, the silence in the mountains. Or just maybe it’s how everything feels real, untouched, and perfectly enough. It’s a rare kind of calm that follows you, even after you leave.

Some people book a return ticket right away. Others skip it entirely and start looking for land, a small house with a view, or just the next excuse to stay longer. And if that feeling finds you? RE/MAX Eco Lifestyle in Nandayure is here—quietly, like the town itself—to help you explore what life could look like if you listened to that instinct.

A Smart Location for a Connected Ecolifestyle

Nandayure is the kind of place most travelers haven’t heard of—yet. As a hidden gem near Punta Islita Airport, Nandayure offers a rare mix of natural beauty and easy access—perfect for those who want to live off the radar, but not off the map. While nearby towns along the Nicoya Peninsula are growing fast, this region remains quiet, rural, and blissfully underdeveloped. It’s a rare part of Costa Rica where you can still find untouched land. With peaceful communities and a sense of privacy that’s becoming harder to find.

Despite its hidden-gem status, Nandayure is surprisingly easy to reach. With Punta Islita Airport just 30 minutes away. You can fly in from San José or Liberia and be walking your land, checking on a project, or relaxing at the beach within the hour. That convenience makes the area especially attractive to buyers who want peace and nature—without feeling isolated.

This makes Nandayure an ideal match for:

  • Eco-conscious travelers who want to disconnect without being stranded. The region’s calm energy, uncrowded beaches, and slow pace offer the reset most travelers seek.
  • Remote workers who crave quiet mornings, strong Wi-Fi, and short flights to the city when needed.
  • Vacation rental investors looking for high-demand, low-competition areas. With growing interest in Playa Corozalito, Bejuco, and Costa de Oro, the rental market here is beginning to thrive—especially for properties focused on wellness, surfing, or retreat-style stays.
  • Expats and families searching for meaningful living in a safe, natural environment. Inland communities like San Pablo, Carmona, and Zapotal offer authentic Costa Rican culture, friendly neighbors, and wide-open spaces.

Nandayure is not a resort town. It doesn’t try to be. That’s its magic. Here, you can build a retreat in the hills, own land near the coast, or settle into a local village where the loudest thing you’ll hear is the birds. It’s a region where modern ecoliving is possible—without giving up on convenience or connection. And right now, while it’s still undiscovered by the masses, the opportunity is wide open.
