Pacific Heights
Community Guide

Panoramic Pacific views, large private estates, and dramatic sunsets — just minutes from Playa Flamingo and the Gold Coast.

About the community

Pacific Heights is a hillside residential area in Guanacaste's Cabo Velas region, known for its elevated setting, expansive views toward the Pacific Ocean, and low-density development. Rather than a master-planned or gated community, Pacific Heights is made up of privately owned homes and estates, many with individual gated entrances, offering privacy, space, and independence just minutes from the coast.

With its panoramic outlooks, larger homesites, and quiet residential character, Pacific Heights appeals to buyers looking for a more secluded lifestyle while remaining close to beaches, dining, and services along Guanacaste's North Pacific coast.

Key details

01
What to Expect

Elevated Setting and Views
Pacific Heights is defined by its hillside location and elevated vantage points overlooking the Pacific Ocean and surrounding coastline. Many homes capture broad water views, cooling breezes and some of the most dramatic sunsets in the area.
Privacy and Low-Density Living
Properties tend to sit on larger lots and development is more spread out than in many nearby communities, creating a quieter, more private residential environment.
Natural Surroundings

We Recommend

Pacific Heights is best experienced by slowing down and taking in its elevated setting. Enjoy a sunset drive along the hillside roads, spend time at nearby Playa Penca for a swim, and take advantage of ocean-view terraces for an evening outdoors. The area is especially appealing for buyers who want to feel tucked away while still being a short drive from the beaches and amenities of Flamingo, Brasilito, and Potrero.
