Costa Rica Real Estate Project’s Beach Club Location Named One of the World’s Best Eco-Friendly Beaches

Fort Lauderdale, FL (PRWEB) July 26, 2010

Despite the huge number of people around the world who head to the beach each summer to escape the cities in which they live, not every sandy landscape they visit is beautiful and pristine. In fact, irrespective of the number of beachgoers, many shorelines on the planet are littered with garbage and suffer from polluted waters. Sad but true.

However, there are some beaches that are so magnificent, they not only offer true refuge for travelers, but provide a sanctuary for wildlife as well. Recently CNN Travel (http://www.cnn.com/2010/TRAVEL/07/17/ecofriendly.beaches/index.html) and the Mother Nature Network (http://www.mnn.com/lifestyle/eco-tourism/photos/8-of-the-greatest-eco-friendly-beaches-in-the-world/playa-matapalo-osa-#image) identified the most spectacular, eco-friendly shorelines after searching the planet and, to no surprise, most of their top choices were on protected land or nearly impossible to reach.

One of those beaches, Playa Matapalo, Costa Rica, happens to be the location of where Hacienda Matapalo’s (http://www.haciendamatapalo.com/) beach club will be located.

“I fell in love with Playa Matapalo the minute I saw it,” said Hacienda Matapalo’s Executive Vice President Brian Albury. “When we chose our location, we knew how special it was. Now the rest of the world knows too.”

Playa Matapalo was named as the number two eco-friendly beach in the world, behind only Whitehaven Beach in Whitsunday Islands, Australia. Some of the beaches it ranked in front of include: Hanauma Bay Nature Preserve, Oahu, Hawaii; Koh Libong, Trang Province, Thailand; Las Islas Cies, Galicia, Spain; and Sancho Bay, Fernando de Noronha, Brazil.

Although their cartography was a little off, as the article referenced the Osa Peninsula which is actually about an hour and a half south of Playa Matapalo Beach by car, it did collectively describe the two areas beautifully.

“Known as the lungs of the Earth,” the article stated, “the Osa Peninsula is blessed with a dense forest and a conservation-minded government. Half of the 500,000 species of flora and fauna located in Costa Rica can be found here. The area is also home to beautiful Playa Matapalo, a gray-sand beach popular with surfers that leads into the Portalon National Wildlife Refuge complete with a marine turtle protection project.”

“We knew that Playa Matapalo was one of the best beaches on the planet,” Albury said. “It has been a recipient of the prestigious Blue Flag more than once.”

The Blue Flag is a voluntary eco-label awarded to beaches and marinas in 41 countries across Europe, South Africa, Morocco, Tunisia, New Zealand, Brazil, Canada and the Caribbean. It works towards sustainable development at beaches and marinas through strict criteria dealing with water quality, environmental education and information, environmental management, safety and other services. The Blue Flag Programme (http://www.blueflag.org/) is owned and run by the independent non-profit organization Foundation for Environmental Education and includes environmental education and information for the public, decision makers and tourism operators.

“That was one of the reasons we specifically chose Playa Matapalo as the location for Hacienda Matapalo’s beach club,” Albury beamed. “It really doesn’t get any better than this.”

Costa Rica Real Estate Project Supports Chinchilla’s Initiatives

Following the lead of Costa Rica President Laura Chinchilla, the executive board of Pegasus

Star Limitada, the developers of Hacienda Matapalo and marketers of other Pura Verde Costa

Rica Properties, have committed to help bring qualified investors to Costa Rica through its many

projects.

(PRWEB) -- Two days before taking office, Costa Rica’s President-elect Laura Chinchilla had a meeting with a

group of international business leaders organized by CINDE, the Costa Rican Investment Promotion Agency,

outlining the importance of attracting more foreign direct investment.

“One of the priorities of my administration will be to continue to provide and enable the right business climate in

Costa Rica,” she said.

Following President Chinchilla’s lead, the executive board of Pegasus Star Limitada, the developers of Hacienda

Matapalo and marketers of other Pura Verde Costa Rica Properties, also recognized the importance of foreign

direct investment into the small Central American nation and have committed to help bring qualified investors to

Costa Rica through its many projects.

“Not only do we have an obligation to help further President Chinchilla’s agenda as that will help Costa Rica, its

people and the companies that do business there, but we have a unique opportunity to do so,” said Pegasus Chief

Executive Officer David Matluck. “Real estate, whether residential or commercial, has always provided keen

investment opportunities and right now there are no better opportunities than the ones available on Costa Rica’s

Central and Southern Pacific Coast.”

“Historically specific areas of Costa Rica have seen property investment appreciate at an average of 32%

annually,” added Michael Starkey, Pegasus vice president of sales and investments and author of the white paper

“How to Make a Million Dollars.” “Disgusted and distrustful of the U.S. stock and bond markets, investors have

had enough of the greed, corruption and fiscal policies that have caused their IRAs and 401ks to lose 50% or more

of their value.”

“Many are becoming proactive, seeking out alternatives including foreign investments. The lucky ones find us,”

he explained. Starkey, an expert in retirement funds and financial planning, has helped many people “break out of

the Wall Street prison” by showing them how to replace their losing investments with stable appreciating assets

like real estate.

“Individuals are not relegated to owning stocks or bonds in their retirement plans,” he said. “They can directly

own real estate and other investments like Limited Partnerships.”

In light of current investment alternatives, it appears real estate has become the investment of choice among the

savviest of investors looking to save for retirement.

Considering Hacienda Matapalo is the best selling property in Costa Rica, recently announcing it surpassed the

$60 million mark in pre-construction sales, it’s hard to argue with such statements. But there is another factor to

consider.

“Because we are primarily marketing our properties to buyers and investors in the U.S., Canada and Western

Europe, our strategy fits right in with the [Costa Rican government’s focus on strengthening its position to attract

more [foreign direct investment,” said Pegasus Chief Operations Officer Ed Sklar. “We recognize that foreign

direct investment is more relevant than ever as Costa Rica increasingly incorporates itself into the global

community and continues to offer the advantages required to be a competitive investment destination.”

Recently Pegasus Executive Vice President Brian Albury outlined those advantages in a complimentary online

seminar that was attended by more than 500 people where he provided illustrated comparisons of Costa Rica with

its Latin American neighbors Belize, Panama and Nicaragua. The company has made the presentation available

online.

The May 6 meeting at which President Chinchilla spoke was held in the capital city of San Jose and organized by

CINDE. More than 20 multinational companies from various business sectors were represented. To read more
