Last Wednesday, June 25, 2025, at the Costa Rica Country Club, we celebrated a major milestone for our firm and for the high-profile real estate sector in the country: the official launch of the first edition of Luxury Living Costa Rica magazine.
This event marked a very significant moment for our boutique firm, bringing together in one place those who, day by day, help build Costa Rica’s luxury ecosystem and who are our strategic allies—from architects, designers, lawyers, and developers to investors, brand representatives, and specialized media.
From its inception, this luxury magazine in Costa Rica was conceived as a platform that goes beyond merely showcasing properties. It is an editorial statement of purpose, excellence, and collaboration. As our CEO, Yali Alpízar, expressed in her opening remarks:
“Today we’re not just celebrating the launch of a magazine. Today, we’re celebrating a shared vision: the vision of raising the standards of the luxury and ultra-luxury real estate market in Costa Rica, and of connecting with an audience that expects—and deserves—the very best.”
One of the highlights of the morning was a panel discussion featuring five industry experts who shared insights on current trends and challenges in the luxury real estate market. Their perspectives reinforced the purpose of this edition: to spark conversation, reflection, and forward-looking perspectives for the future of high-profile real estate in Costa Rica.
From the start, this publication was envisioned as a tool to showcase the very best of Costa Rica. As Andrea Guillén, Broker/Owner of our firm, stated during her remarks at the event:
“This magazine allowed us to pause, observe carefully, listen to stories, and recognize those who, from their own trenches, are redefining the meaning of luxury in Costa Rica and positioning it in the eyes of the world. It’s a celebration of the present, but also a commitment to the future.”
More than just a magazine, this first edition captures the voices and legacy of those who make a difference, championing an authentic, conscious, and purposeful approach to luxury. Our editorial team—Jeannina Fonseca, Daniela Guillén, and Diana Corrales—shared:
“Each page invites readers to immerse themselves in a world where avant-garde design, luxury finishes, and privileged locations come together to reflect a sophisticated and inspiring lifestyle. With a careful selection of valuable editorial content and properties representative of the Costa Rican lifestyle, this publication positions itself as the benchmark for those seeking the exceptional in both life and investment.”
This magazine is the result of a collaborative effort by a passionate team in Costa Rica, guided and supported editorially by Print Prestige in the United Kingdom—the official publishing house of Forbes Global Properties magazines, of which we have the honor of being the exclusive representatives in the country.
While the panel of experts was an important part of the event, the main focus was on celebrating all the attendees, whose presence and professional paths contribute daily to positioning Costa Rica as a global reference for luxury.
Luxury Living Costa Rica | Forbes Global Properties is, in essence, a calling card presenting the country to the world. As our CEO stated in her speech:
“We are transforming dreams—our own and those of our clients—into tangible projects, exceptional homes, secure investments, and experiences that go far beyond commercial transactions.”
We are deeply grateful to everyone who joined us for this meaningful occasion. This first edition is only the beginning of a new chapter: one dedicated to telling real stories with purpose, showcasing transformative projects, and continuing to build, alongside our partners, a uniquely Costa Rican vision of luxury that meets the expectations and needs of our clients.
