Why Tamarindo Beach Is the Best Launch Point for Your Custom Costa Rica Vacation

Tamarindo Beach isn’t just a destination—it’s your basecamp for the ultimate Costa Rica experience. Located just 50 minutes from Liberia International Airport, Tamarindo offers the perfect blend of convenience, adventure, and upscale comfort that sets the stage for your custom Costa Rica vacation.

At Costa Rica Surfing Company, we’ve spent over 15 years designing unforgettable vacations for families, couples, and groups seeking something more immersive and effortless. We combine spacious luxury condos, seamless itinerary planning, and the region’s best adventure experiences to create trips that feel exciting yet easy.

The Ideal Balance: Adventure Meets Oceanfront Comfort

Tamarindo is one of the most vibrant beach towns in Costa Rica, known for its consistent surf, warm water, and postcard-worthy sunsets. With over 100 restaurants ranging from beachfront taco stands to chef-driven cuisine, it’s easy to enjoy the local flavor without giving up convenience or style.

Your trip begins in a gated luxury condo with ocean views, 2–4 bedrooms, full kitchens, oversized balconies, and stylish pools. These are high-end private residences—not hotel rooms—with stocked gourmet groceries, high-speed Wi-Fi, in-unit washer/dryers, and plenty of room to relax between adventures.
