Welcome to Malpais, our tranquil fishing village on the stunning Nicoya Peninsula. Forget the hustle; here, life moves at the pace of the tides. You'll find that our rugged coastline, a beautiful mix of sandy beaches and dramatic rocky outcroppings, offers a more secluded and intimate experience than our bustling neighbor, Santa Teresa. Spend your days chasing world-class waves, exploring hidden coves and tide pools, or simply relaxing on the beach and watching the incredible sunsets that paint the sky each evening. It's a place to disconnect and immerse yourself in the raw, natural beauty of Costa Rica.

The road to here is not in good shape but it is worth it! The sunsets here are a must seeing!
