Manuel Antonio is one of the most touristic destinations in Costa Rica. It is considered one of the top 25 beaches in the world.

Manuel Antonio is a small oceanside village with plenty of great places to stay – from extravagant luxury condos to cozy hideaway hotels tucked into nature.

Famous for its national park, this tiny yet bustling town is located off Costa Rica’s central Pacific coast just a stone’s throw away from Quepos which is famous for sportfishing.

The region is a treasure for biodiversity, attracting nature buffs, eco-travelers and adventure-seekers alike. Better yet, if you visit, you can soak up white sand and perfect waters.

Without a doubt, Manuel Antonio lies within one of the country’s most celebrated spots.

Manuel Antonio National Park, on Costa Rica’s central Pacific coast, encompasses rugged rainforest, white-sand beaches and coral reefs. It’s renowned for its vast diversity of tropical plants and wildlife, from three-toed sloths and endangered white-faced capuchin monkeys to hundreds of bird species. The park’s roughly 680 hectares are crossed with hiking trails, which meander from the coast up into the mountains.
