A 134-acre gated beachfront community on Whale Bay — where scarlet macaws soar over a championship golf course and the Pacific never looks the same twice.
From an internationally recognized 9-hole golf course to beach volleyball at sunset — Los Delfines offers resort living every single day.
Our 9-hole course, redesigned by GCSAA Class A Superintendent Ulrich Lang, features English-style white-sand bunkers, narrow fairways, and ocean-view holes that challenge every handicap. Home to 360 Scarlet Macaws — the only such sanctuary in the world.
Tee times 7:15am – 1pm · Closed MonMultiple courts available for both sports. Our pickleball community is growing fast — weekly round-robins, beginner clinics, and friendly tournaments run year-round. Courts are lit for evening play.

Los Delfines sits within a Protected Biological Corridor on the Nicoya Peninsula — one of the world's Blue Zones. The wildlife here isn't a backdrop; it's a daily miracle.
360 macaws call our golf course home — the world's only golf course macaw sanctuary. Previously freed from captivity, they now nest freely in 20+ species of planted trees.
You'll hear them before you see them. Howler troops move through the community canopy daily. Dawn chorus around 5:30am is nature's alarm clock.
50+ deer roam the community freely. They're especially active at dusk near the 7th and 8th fairways. Drive slowly after dark.
Olive Ridley and Leatherback turtles nest on our beach. July–November is prime season. Community volunteers run nighttime monitoring patrols.
Over 200 bird species recorded in and around Los Delfines — toucans, kingfishers, herons, frigate birds, and seasonal migrants. A birder's paradise.
The mangroves nearby shelter caimans, iguanas, and countless amphibians. Eco-cart tours run weekly — ask at El Rancho to join.
The Nicoya Peninsula is only reachable by ferry or plane — which means Los Delfines stays blissfully off the beaten path. Here's how to get here.
Tambor Airport (TMU) has several daily flights from San José (SJO). Round-trip ~$160 USD. Sansa and Green Airways operate routes. 5 minutes from the gate.
Ferry Naviera Tambor crosses to Paquera (~75 min). Then 45-min drive south to Tambor. Beautiful crossing — book in advance in high season.
Fast boats connect Jacó, Montezuma, and Malpaís directly to Tambor. Great option for coastal-hopping adventures.
Private shuttle and taxi services from San José door-to-ferry. Limousine service available. Community WhatsApp has trusted driver contacts.
Golf carts are the primary transport within Los Delfines. The winding jungle paths are golf-cart optimized — rent one from our fleet or borrow a neighbor's!
Bicycle and ATV rentals available through the community. Perfect for exploring beyond the gates — Montezuma waterfalls, Cabo Blanco Reserve, and more are nearby.
With 400+ existing homes and 300 more planned, Los Delfines is growing. Prices start under $200K — exceptional value for beachfront community living.
Los Delfines explicitly allows short-term rentals. Your home can generate income while you're away — a full-time investment.
Furniture packages, architect coordination, and move-in services mean you never have to stress about the details of buying abroad.
Seller financing and Costa Rican bank mortgages available to qualified buyers. Start the conversation early in your process.
100 Mbps fiber in most homes. Potable tap water, 24/7 power, modern infrastructure — luxury without the stress of unreliable services.
Dec–April is dry season — sunny every day. May–Nov brings the lush green season with afternoon showers and far fewer tourists. Both are spectacular.
Pack DEET-based repellent and bring a few citronella candles. Dawn and dusk near the mangroves can be buggy. The trade-off is the biodiversity is extraordinary.
Los Delfines has clean, safe tap water — one of the perks. No need to buy plastic water bottles. Bring a reusable bottle.
USD is widely accepted in the community. Stock up on colones in Tambor for local markets and restaurants outside the gates. ATM in Cóbano (30 min).
Costa Rica runs on a relaxed schedule. Embrace it. Pura vida isn't just a phrase — it's a genuine philosophy. Let your schedule soften.
The community is 24/7 gated with security patrols. It's one of the safest environments in Costa Rica. All visitors must sign in at the gate — let your host know your arrival time.
