A sunlit terrace with a curved infinity pool and raised jacuzzi spills toward a wrought-iron railing overlooking treetops and a hazy coastline, while a covered patio to the right shelters wicker loungers with turquoise cushions and a sofa with a yellow pillow beneath arched openings of the pale stucco villa.

Eight kilometers of near-empty beach

Playa Matapalo is the quiet stretch between Quepos and Dominical. The beach runs more than eight kilometers, and the national tourism board describes it plainly as a beautiful and desolate section of coastline — on clear days you can see Isla Mogote and Punta Serrucho, inside Manuel Antonio National Park, up the coast to the northwest.

Come here for long walks and unhurried days rather than a lineup of activities; Quepos, Dominical and Uvita are all within reach for park days and charters.

Rafting the Savegre River

The Savegre River reaches the coast just north of Matapalo and is the area's main adventure outing — a clean, clear river with Class III whitewater, and rafting it is the standard way to spend a half day off the beach.
