Kalia is an extraordinary vacation destination not seen anywhere else on the world. While visiting Costa Rica and other vacation destinations we saw how resorts had taken a very high toll on nature. It was clear to us that the only real way to create a LIFE STYLE and not just another resort is to be in synergy with nature and have our community integrated with its surroundings instead of overcoming it. Low Density - Our estates are set on large lots that provide a large area around the house which is not developed and promises privacy and intimacy to the individual dwellings. This enables us to keep the natural look of the land. Site Development - We develop our land in a responsible way that takes advantage of the natural terrain. We are thoughtful when deciding where roads are going to be and where houses will be located. Our designs for the homes were created to fit the natural terrain where minimal grading and site work was required. We did not remove any large trees but made sure to integrate them into our design of the land. We also made sure not to interfere with the natural springs and the protected areas. Water Efficiency – Our water is provided from on site wells that has been tested and approved for quality of the water. Support for Local Community, Trade, and Culture – Where possible, we are specifying local resources and materials to be used in our resort. By doing so we minimize shipping and we reduce our carbon output. We use local labor for the services we provide to support the local community and create prosperity. Building Systems Incorporated in Kalia‘s Homes- • Green Roofing System - Will help regulate a home‘s temperature while reducing storm-water run off and filter pollutants and CO2 out of the air. • Solar Energy – solar energy will be used to reduce the use of electricity for water heating. • Cross Ventilation - Strategically located windows and doors to achieve maximum cross ventilation • Passive Cooling Water - Features around the homes also contribute to the independent cooling of the house allowing a cool breeze flow from the pools. • Gray Water Recycling Systems - Assist in storing and providing water to the yard and landscape. • Recycled content materials – Using a light weight metal structure that is locally produced and using a high content of recycled material. • Natural Vegetation and Landscape – Will minimize the waste of water needed for irrigation and will keep the natural vegetation intact. • Furnishings & Fabrics – All bedding and sheets are made from 100% organic certified cotton. • Pillows & Duvet Covers – All pillow and duvets are made from 100% organic wool. • Appliances – All appliances are low energy consumption and are Energy Star rated. • Counter Tops – Counter tops are non-porous quartz made from recycled content. • Paint – All non VOC paints used that have anti-microbial compounds to deter mold growth. • Cabinetry – All wood used in cabinetry originates from responsibly managed forests and is formaldehyde free. • Toilets – All toilets throughout the home are low flush toilets to preserve water.

Beaches Playa Ostional Playa Ostional is just minutes from Kalia's Black Beauty Village. Many of the Black Beauty residences offer spectacular ocean views off the highest front line ridge from this beach. Playa Ostional has some of the smoothest, most consistent waves in the immediate area. Averaging about head-high, with periodic swells bringing the expectant larger waves, it's an excellent place to learn to surf and yet interesting enough to attract surfers at all skill levels. It also offers unbelievable sunsets for those looking for romantic sunset walks on the beach. The area has been designated a natural refuge for one of the world‘s most important nesting sites for the olive ridley sea turtle. A significant proportion of the world‘s Pacific ridley turtle population nests at Playa Ostional, coming on shore en masse for up to one week at a time from July–December (peak season is August and September, starting with the last quarter of the full moon), and singly or in small groups at other times during the year.

Beaches (Cont’d…) Playa Azul Playa Azul Is just a short walk from Kalia‘s Ruby Sky Village and is named for its mile-long stretch of dark, almost cobalt blue sand and azure sea. Visitors can wander the pristine and solitary beach, listening to the Howler Monkeys and watching the wave‘s crash against the shore, and they can watch spectacular sunsets light fire to the sky.

Playa Guiones A lovely light sand beach, Playa Guiones is among the best surfing destinations along the Guanacaste coastline on the Nicoya Peninsula. Backed by a lush jungle, the first couple of hundred meters of this beach are part of the Ostional Wildlife Refuge, while the beach area itself has received a ‗Banda Azul‘ or Blue Flag of Ecology for being among the most clean, pristine and ecologically well-maintained beaches in the world.

Playa San Juanillo Playa San Juanillo is actually a series of small, mostly protected coves a short drive from Kalia‘s Ruby Sky, Emerald Woods and Black Beauty villages. The primary cove is a white sand beach protected by a rim of rocks and reef. Here the water is calmer than most other beaches on the entire peninsula. This makes for very pleasant swimming and much better snorkeling than many places on the Pacific Coast.

Sports Fisherman Excursions If wrangling a feisty 60 pound roosterfish in the middle of the ocean is your type of adventure, chances are you‘ll love our deep sea fishing excursions. The warm waters of Costa Rica are rich with a diverse population of fish including marlin, sailfish, yellow fin tuna, dolphin fish, swordfish, snapper, king mackerel, wahoo, roosterfish, and grouper. Marlin, sailfish and swordfish are particularly attractive trophies for fisherman, and are abundant in the Costa Rica lakes and the ocean, creating a big draw for adventure-seeking sport fisherman with a penchant for international travel. In order to get far enough into the ocean to bag the really large fish, a full day trip aboard a fishing boat is recommended. Thirty to forty foot fishing boats are ideal to rent for such a day trip. What‘s even more exciting, some of the best deep sea fishing in the world can be experienced without harming Costa Rica‘s delicate ecosystem. Since Kalia is committed to the country‘s sustainability, our boat operators practice a catch and release policy that prevents over fishing and endangering the popular species for sport fishing
