Playa Grande is a part of Las Baulas National Park where the world’s largest leatherback turtles nest every year. If you are an early riser and on a morning beach walk you might catch baby turtles freshly hatched making their way to the ocean. The area is also known for world class surfing, fishing, horseback riding, zip lining, hiking, mountain biking, kayaking, golfing, sunset sails and more. Playa Grande is a very laid back 3.5 miles white sandy beach, where you can take long walks or just relax with a cold drink while watching one of our spectacular sunsets. On many occasions you might be the only person on the beach! Villa Marbella is a 2 minute walk to 3 restaurants and a small convenient store and if you want to venture a little further you can take a 5 minute drive into the north of Playa Grande and you will find several more restaurants, pizzeria's, bars, 2 surf shops, and yoga studio.
