In the country that invented eco-tourism, nature is predictably the main attraction here. The Guanacaste province is known as the best place in Central America to surf and boasts the nation’s sole pink sand beach. The 2,300-acre Peninsula Papagayo resort community is a natural sanctuary providing abundant opportunities to experience eco-adventure on land and in the water.

Spilling down a coastal hillside to an isthmus of golden sand, this 5-star Four Seasons resort creates an ambience of simple luxury in this pristine natural setting. Guest rooms seamlessly blend indoor comfort with an outdoor balcony, which includes a seating area overlooking the native tropical landscape with partial views of the bay or ocean. Sliding louvered doors between sleeping and living spaces maximize privacy and invite the flow of fresh sea breezes and the sounds of the natural surroundings.

Enjoy two unspoiled beaches, an indigenous spa, and the magic of the tropical dry forest. The 125-acre Golf Club was designed by Arnold Palmer with the resort golfer in mind. It sits on the tip of the Peninsula Papagayo with twelve holes featuring spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean.  The stunning course is ranked among the "Best 100 Courses Outside the United States" by Golf Digest.
