    The Space:

    HACIENDA PINILLA BEACH CLUB



    The Hacienda Pinilla Beach Club sits right on the shores of Playa Avellanas, With an infinity-edge pool looking over the famous surf break of Little Hawaii. The Beach Club has something for everyone whether it's cocktails and or fruit smoothies from the poolside Tiki Bar, kicking back in the poolside sunbeds, surfing one of the world-class breaks of Playa Avellanas, working out in ocean view fitness center, or relaxing with a massage in the wellness center, its the ultimate beach day!

    Beach Club has an annual closing in October every year.



    As a guest of this property, the entry into the beach club is $5 (only paid once per day and for ages 10+)



    BEACHES With 3 miles of coastline within the 4500-acre ranch, there is always a corner, tidepool or wave to be found.

    Playa Mansita & Bonita, home of the JW Marriott hotel a great stretch to beach comb and explore tide pools on the lower tide.

    Playa Langosta, world-class surfing, beach, and river fishing. We believe Langosta to be the hidden gem of Hacienda Pinilla, the shaded palapas are a great spot for a beach day in the shade, and your just a stroll and river crossing from the action of Playa Langosta and Tamarindo

    Playa Avellanas, home to the Hacienda Pinilla Beach club and 6 World-class surf breaks including Little Hawaii, the Estero, dead tree, and Lolas



    JW MARRIOTT HOTEL Hacienda Pinilla is home to the JW Marriott hotel, as a guest our guest you have access to the numerous restaurants on offer. You can also purchase a day pass for use of the hotel's pool which is the largest throughout Central America. The day pass gives you access to all of the hotel grounds and amenities.



    GOLF COURSE 18 hole par 72 beachfront golf course ( the beachfront hole has an awesome sunset view on a secluded beach)



    TENNIS COURTS 3 hard court tennis courts with an onsite instructor. private, semi-private, and or group lessons are available. Kids camps and pickleball events are regular activities.



    HORSE STABLES The best way to explore the 4500 ranch is by horseback. Tours are available at any time and can be customized to fit your group's needs, with rides from 30 mins to 2 hrs taking you through the forest and out along the secluded beaches all here within the ranch.



    MOUNTAIN BIKE TRAILS With over 45 kilometers of trails throughout the ranch, forest, and coastline, Hacienda Pinilla is a great location for mountain biking. With natural scenic routes and rigorous trails for every type of bike rider, Hacienda Pinilla offers up adventure, challenge, and enjoyment for families, first-timers, experts, and everyone in between.



    SURFING Hacienda Pinilla has to be one of the best locations in Costa Rica to base your surf trip. With 6 waves just on Playa Avellanas and private access to the beach breaks of Playa Langosta, you don't even need to leave the ranch, but if you looking to explore the area, the famous Playa Negra reef breaks are just 10 minutes south and the river mouth and beach breaks of Tamarindo just 10 minutes to the north.
