  • Best of both worlds

    The four-star Arenas Del Mar Beachfront & Rainforest Resort in Manuel Antonio offers front-row seats to a pristine sand beach PLUS the rainforest. Add gorgeous accommodation, an outdoor pool, a Jacuzzi, a Turkish steam bath, and a national park rich with wildlife on your doorstep, and you have the ingredients for a truly unique stay. Several eateries are within easy driving distance, as are the Tennis Club Quepos and Raindrop Spa. 

  • Riverside stay

    Ready for a wild adventure in the heart of nature? Look no further than Tortuga Lodge & Gardens. Give the hotels a miss and embrace jungle life in Tortuguero. Trust us, this river lodge has it all, with 20 hectares of private jungle trails, pristine rainforest, and did we mention that it’s on the riverbank and offers loads of activities?  From here you can also do a day trip to the famous Puerto Viejo de Talamanca, less than a four-hour drive away, to experience laid-back vibes in this Caribbean beach town, excellent surfing, and colourful culture. 

  • Beach vibes

    Tamarindo is one of Costa Rica’s many beach towns known for its beautiful beaches and surfing opportunities, as well as its diverse range of activities, such as horseback riding, snorkelling and birdwatching. The Beach Bungalows Tamarindo  is the ideal place to stay if you’re looking for a tranquil getaway with an environmentally friendly, conservation-minded cabin look and feel. Choose between pool-facing or garden-side bungalows. This private bed and breakfast retreat is only a five-minute walk to the beach.

  • Hostel stay
