Imagine waking up to the sound of toucans, taking a break from work to surf in crystal-clear waters, and ending your day knowing your money is growing in one of the most stable markets in Latin America. This isn’t a dream; it’s the daily reality for thousands of digital nomads and investors who have chosen Costa Rica as their base of operations and personal paradise.
At Momentum Real State, we don’t just sell properties; we sell a lifestyle. Today, we want to show you why this small Central American country has become a magnet for visionaries seeking the perfect balance of productivity, adventure, and profitability.
For Digital Nomads: More Than Just an Office with a View
Costa Rica is no longer a best-kept secret; it has become a premier destination for remote workers. But what are the concrete reasons behind this phenomenon?
1. The Digital Nomad Law: Welcome Home!
The Costa Rican government has launched one of the most attractive digital nomad visas in the world. With Law No. 10008, remote workers can obtain a one-year visa (extendable for a second year) with incredible benefits:
- Full income tax exemption: Your earnings generated outside of Costa Rica are not taxed.
- Duty-free equipment importation: Bring your computer, monitor, and work equipment without any import taxes.
- Agile application process: A simplified procedure so you can get settled quickly.
2. First-Class Connectivity and Amenities
Forget the myth that living in paradise means sacrificing internet connection. In areas like San José, Curridabat, Escazú, and tourist hubs in Guanacaste and the Caribbean, high-speed fiber optic internet is the norm. Furthermore, you’ll find a robust network of coworking spaces, cafés with excellent Wi-Fi, and all the conveniences of a modern city.
3. An Unmatched Lifestyle: The “Pura Vida”
This isn’t just a slogan; it’s a philosophy. “Pura Vida” (The Pure Life) translates to a focus on well-being, a healthy work-life balance, and a deep connection with nature. After you close your laptop, you can:
- Hike in a national park.
- Take a yoga class with a volcano view.
- Enjoy fresh and healthy local cuisine.

For Investors: Fertile Ground for Your Capital
Costa Rica’s appeal extends far beyond tourism. Its political stability, growing economy, and legal security make it a safe haven for smart investors looking to diversify and maximize their portfolios.
1. A Booming Real Estate Market
The real estate sector in Costa Rica is dynamic and offers consistent appreciation potential. The demand for properties, for both vacation rentals and long-term residency, continues to rise, driven by tourism and the influx of expatriates.
High-Yield Areas:
- Guanacaste (Tamarindo, Nosara): The epicenter of luxury tourism and wellness. Ideal for vacation rentals with a high ROI.
- Limón (Puerto Viejo, Cahuita): An emerging market with enormous growth potential, combining Caribbean culture and exuberant nature.
- Greater Metropolitan Area (GAM): Areas like Curridabat and Escazú offer constant demand for residential and commercial rentals due to their proximity to business centers and services.
2. Legal Security and Ease for Foreigners
Unlike in other countries, foreigners in Costa Rica have the same property rights as local citizens. The purchasing process is transparent and secure, supported by a reliable property registration system.
3. The US Dollar as a Reference Currency
Although the Colón is the official currency, the real estate market operates predominantly in U.S. dollars. This protects your investment from local currency devaluation and simplifies international transactions, offering invaluable financial stability.
4. Diverse Investment Opportunities
At Momentum Real State, we manage a diverse portfolio for every type of investor:
- Oceanfront lots: To develop the project of your dreams.
- Modern city apartments: Ideal for long-term rentals to professionals.
