Location
Set in more than 500 hectares of rich tropical dry forest, the Four Seasons Peninsula Papagayo resort occupies an isthmus – the narrowest point of Peninsula Papagayo – between two private golden-sand beaches. On one side are the sheltered waters of a Pacific coast bay, and on the other are the open water views of Santa Rosa National Park.
Accommodation
The resort is airy and open, giving guests the benefits of breezes and the sounds of birds and howler monkeys. A subtle fire and water theme informs the colour palette of all communal areas, along with natural features such as a lush moss art wall set amidst the naturalistic soft curves of the buildings and garden architecture. There’s a lot of stone, bamboo and even some recycled plastic.
There are 182 bright guest rooms and suites, complete with colourful art, hardwood flooring and bamboo furniture. You will have a spacious and luxurious bathroom, along with large windows showcasing the superb forest or ocean views (often both). If you treat yourself to a suite, you will find it built on stilts, appearing to float in the trees.

As for eating, you will have five restaurants to pick from. Guests seem to congregate at Bahia, an all-day wood fired kitchen, but those with fine-dining aspirations will be more tempted by the Italian seafood at Pesce. The dining options aren’t the only example of luxurious plenitude, for there are four swimming pools, a 28 room spa, a state-of-the-art fitness centre, five tennis courts, and an 18-hole Arnold Palmer championship golf course.
Experiences
- Within the grounds, communal areas and beaches of the resort, you can have Latin dance, chocolate-making or cookery classes.
- Try snorkelling, kayaking or paddle boarding in the warm Pacific waters.
- Join a nocturnal wildlife tour led by a wildlife expert to see the abundant wildlife of the dark hours.
- Take a surf trip to the legendary place known as Witch’s Rock.
- A Costa Rican adventure is not complete without a day at sea. We recommend a catamaran for space and stability while you spot dolphins, manta rays and sea turtles.
- Indulge in an adrenalin-soaked day ziplining through the forests inland from the peninsula.
