About the Resort
Design-led lifestyle luxury on Papagayo
Andaz Costa Rica is the design-led, lifestyle counterpart on Peninsula Papagayo — Ronald Zúrcher's cocoon-like architecture on a hillside over Culebra Bay, the first Andaz in Latin America. Rooms open through floor-to-ceiling windows to river-stone rain showers and bird's-nest balconies, three beaches and a clutch of pools split adults-only from family, and the 11,000-square-foot ONDA spa runs a steam-and-cold-plunge circuit and sound baths. Ostra leads the dining; Papagayo Explorers fills the days with adventure.

“We’ve stayed here three times now. The house reef has no equal. The stargazing was, genuinely, one of the most moving experiences of my adult life.”

★★★★★
“I had stayed at Four Seasons, One&Only and Velaa before visiting Andaz Costa Rica at Peninsula Papagayo. They are all magnificent. But this is different in a way that is hard to articulate.”

Four Seasons Resort at Peninsula Papagayo
The Four Seasons at Peninsula Papagayo occupies a private Guanacaste headland between Culebra Bay and the open Pacific, with two beaches and a Forbes Five-Star pedigree. Tree-house-style rooms in indigenous wood and stone climb the hillside, plunge-pool suites and multi-bedroom residences suit couples and families alike, and the only Arnold Palmer course in Central America winds across the peninsula. A vast freshwater infinity pool, full-service spa and kids' and teen programmes complete it.
Costa Rica
Tabacón Thermal Resort & Spa
Tabacón is built around Costa Rica's largest network of naturally-flowing thermal mineral springs — the region's only natural thermal river, heated by Arenal and winding through tropical gardens under the volcano. Some 105 rooms and suites range from garden views to rainforest-facing honeymoon suites with private thermal plunge pools, all with unlimited springs access. The Grand Spa treats in open-air rainforest bungalows, the adults-only Shangri-La Gardens hide the hottest pools, and Arenal's adventures wait beyond the gates.
Costa Rica
Nayara Tented Camp
Nayara Tented Camp raises around 29 luxury tents on stilts above Arenal Volcano National Park — one of the only luxury tented camps in Central America and a member of Leading Hotels of the World. Each tent has a private mineral-spring plunge pool, a freestanding soaking tub and a terrace facing the volcano. Sloths live in the reforested grounds, naturalist guides lead the rainforest, and Ayla serves Mediterranean plates over the Arenal view.
