Only a few buildings, lush tropical gardens and the beach one block away. Sombras, "The Shades," is one of the most refined small communities in Playas del Coco.
Designed by renowned Costa Rican architect Ronald Zurcher, Sombras has only 26 luxury units inside a gated community with 24-hour security. The low density creates a sense of privacy and calm that is hard to find this close to the center of town.
Residents enjoy two swimming pools, camera surveillance throughout the property, secure parking and mature tropical landscaping. Ground-floor units offer single-level, stair-free living with direct access to the gardens, which appeals to full-time residents, retirees and vacation renters alike.
