Which Pacific town?
Four main towns British buyers compare. Each with different character, prices and feel. Direct comparison.
Where most British buyers end up.
Each combines something different — community, accessibility, price, character. Choose by what matters to you.
Santa Teresa
World-class surf, hip restaurant scene, international schools, active expat community. The hipness centre of the peninsula.
Mal País
