Hermosa Palms
Surf enthusiasts flock to Hermosa Palms for its front-row access to Playa Hermosa's legendary waves. This exclusive beachfront community offers upscale vacation villas with private pools where you can unwind after riding the Pacific swells. The manicured grounds blend seamlessly with tropical vegetation, creating a luxurious retreat away from Jacó's bustling atmosphere. Most properties feature full kitchens for self-catering, though you'll need to drive to nearby Jacó for restaurants and groceries. A rental car is essential for exploring beyond this tranquil enclave. The focus here is on privacy, ocean views, and that perfect mix of beach access and peaceful seclusion.
Hermosa Hills
Hermosa Hills delivers jaw-dropping Pacific Ocean views from luxury hillside perches above Playa Hermosa. Travelers love waking up to howler monkey calls, tropical breezes, and those killer sunset panoramas from private infinity pools. The quiet, upscale vibe offers a peaceful alternative to bustling Jacó, though you'll need to venture down the hill for beach time and dining. Getting around requires wheels—preferably 4WD during rainy season—as the steep terrain isn't pedestrian-friendly. Most visitors stay in high-end vacation rentals with premium amenities while making quick trips to Jacó for restaurants, shopping, and nightlife just 10-15 minutes away.

Small family-run guesthouses and vacation rentals provide affordable accommodation options compared to beachfront properties.
