A Costa Rican Publishing Brand Evolves Towards the Future
A familiar name is evolving, bringing together independent publishing, local knowledge and a growing vision for discovering the best of Costa Rica.
For more than a decade, Costa Pacifica LIVING has been telling the stories of Costa Rica through the people, places, businesses and experiences that make this country so special.
What began as a regional print magazine has grown into something with a bigger vision.
Today, we’re introducing the next chapter of the brand online, simply: LIVING.
Rooted in the experience of publishing both under the name of Costa Ballena LIVING, in the early years, and later under Costa Pacifica LIVING, this evolution brings both magazines together under a broader online brand — one built around a simple idea: connecting people through media. The LIVING brand will live online and support the digital presence of both Costa Ballena LIVING and Costa Pacifica LIVING.
More than a local print magazine
Print remains an important part of our story. There is something special about a beautifully produced publication: the experience of turning its pages, discovering somewhere new and finding a business or experience you might otherwise have missed.
But discovery doesn’t stop when you close a magazine.
LIVING is growing toward a more connected experience, bringing together print, digital content, regional knowledge and curated recommendations to help readers discover more of what makes Costa Rica extraordinary.
Our philosophy remains the same: we do the discovering and vetting so you can discover what’s truly worth your time.
This evolution also creates a returning home for the Costa Ballena LIVING print magazine, returning in 2027 with a refreshed look, all the while still dedicated to the communities, businesses and experiences of Costa Ballena.
A new chapter, with familiar roots
Meanwhile, Costa Pacifica LIVING will continue to tell the stories of the people and places that define life along Costa Rica’s Pacific coast at large.
Each print publication has its own identity, curated content, and audience. Together, they are part of a larger vision for LIVING.
What comes next?
We’re building toward a more connected LIVING experience — one that brings together the quality and character of print publishing with new opportunities to explore, discover and connect online.
There is more to come, and this is just the beginning.
Welcome to the next chapter of LIVING!
