Las Catalinas incorporates the principles of New Urbanism where human connection and environmentalism are priorities in the design. This concept is accomplished with public plazas, automobile-free streets, shopping boulevards, restaurants, work/study spaces, and marketplaces. Without cars filling the streets, Las Catalinas’ residents enjoy an old-time sense of community, a rarity today. Because Las Catalinas was designed at scale for biking and walking, homes and buildings efficiently use space and topography. A walk through town may render thoughts of Antigua in the Caribbean, Casco Viejo in Panama, or Vernazza on the Italian coastline. Of the 1,200 acres encompassing Las Catalinas, only 200 acres are planned for development, while the remaining 1,000 acres of forest are home to exotic birds, howler monkeys, iguanas, and the occasional wild cat. Within the reserve, you’ll find thirty-five kilometers of hiking paths and varying degrees of mountain bike trails offering panoramic ocean views. If you’re into water recreation, you’ll love the crystalline waters offshore for snorkeling, stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, bodysurfing, and more. Las Catalinas is an outdoor athlete’s sanctuary with multiple yearly events that get the whole town involved.
