SAN JOSE, COSTA RICA, August 22, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — Costa Rica remains a leading global tourist destination, recording record-breaking international arrivals in 2024. Through July, Costa Rica has welcomed 1,772,271 international tourists by air, the most ever in the first 7 months of the year, according to the Instituto Costarricense de Turismo (ICT). This rush has led to significant growth in the Costa Rican vacation rental market, with Airbnb listings steadily increasing for 37 consecutive months. Through July 2024, 34,895 vacation rentals were available, reflecting the growing preference for private accommodations over traditional hotels.
Features of leading holiday rentals
Costa Rica’s leading vacation rental properties share several common characteristics: prime location, personalized service, thoughtful design, and effective management and marketing. These elements contribute to their success in an increasingly competitive local market and provide valuable insight for property owners and investors. 83.33% of Costa Rica’s top 30 investment properties employ a professional property management company or have a host who manages over five different vacation rental properties.
Exceptional locations
Costa Rica’s most successful vacation rentals are located in the main tourist destinations. An analysis of the 30 most successful Airbnbs over the past 12 months shows that the top 30 vacation rentals are located in Tamarindo, Jaco, Flamingo, Potrero, Santa Teresa, Manuel Antonio, Nosara, Papagayo, Bahia Ballena, Playa Grande and Playas del Coco. It is particularly noteworthy that all of these locations are located on the Pacific coast, which underscores their attractiveness. These regions have also seen increased interest in real estate investment in Costa Rica, driven by strong tourism growth. In the first seven months of 2024, there were 1,772,271 international arrivals, a 13.49% increase over 2023, according to the Costa Rican Tourism Board (ICT).
Premium services and amenities
Leading vacation rentals are characterized by high-quality services and amenities. Properties in these top regions often offer ocean views or direct beach access, which increases their appeal. In addition, all top properties offer private pools, hot tubs and outdoor recreation equipment such as gyms and ping pong tables. Some also partner with local businesses, offering guests access to nearby services and experiences.
Average daily prices (ADRs)
Due to their luxury status, the best vacation rentals in Costa Rica command higher average daily rates (ADRs). The collective ADR for the leading vacation rentals averages $2,678, well above the national average of $255. These properties tend to have larger accommodations, averaging 8.37 bedrooms, for an average daily rate of $319.95 per bedroom. This pricing suggests that luxury vacation rentals offer competitive value compared to high-end hotels, especially for larger groups looking for exclusive use of a property with the same services and amenities.
Design and Architecture
Top vacation rentals in Costa Rica are often purpose-built as vacation properties. These homes typically feature modern, minimalist design with open spaces and plenty of natural light, integrating indoor and outdoor living areas to create a larger living space. The architectural approach often includes sustainable materials and practices, reflecting Costa Rica’s commitment to environmental conservation. Elements such as natural stone, wood, and lots of glass are commonly used, creating a blend of contemporary design and traditional Costa Rican aesthetics.
Diploma
The success of Costa Rica’s top vacation rentals is due to their strategic location, excellent value, first-class service and thoughtful design. These factors make them extremely attractive to both visitors and investors. Investing in regions where high-quality vacation rentals currently exist and have performed well in the past offer the best opportunities. As the market evolves, it remains to be seen whether these trends will continue as the best investment location in Costa Rica or whether new locations will emerge as future luxury vacation rental hotspots.
