When it comes to great luxury holiday destinations, Costa Rica is one of the few places in the world that tick off the vast majority of the boxes of the privileged traveler. Spectacular beaches, plenty of exotic wildlife, no shortage of exciting activities: this tiny Central American nation has it all.
1) Manuel Antonio
Beach lovers will want to search for a villa in the towns and villages close by to Manuel Antonio National Park. It is here where some of Costa Rica’s most beautiful sea coast can be found, as its white sand is a luxury in a country that owes its existence to volcanic activity.
Additionally, some of the best wildlife spotting in the country can be had here, as there are many sloths, exotic bird species, howler monkeys and others can be found in the dense rainforest that rises behind its trademark beaches.
As far as luxury villas go, there is lots of choice in the neighboring towns of Manuel Antonio and Quepos. Situated up on the ridge above the Pacific Ocean, there are many properties that offer infinity pools, priceless views of the sea and mountains, gourmet kitchens, and ceilings that are 10 feet or higher inside.
2) Dominical
Those wanting to fit in some surfing on their holiday will want to check out Dominical. Well known for having year-round waves that are suitable for riding, this town has transformed from a fishing village to one of Costa Rica’s best tourist attractions in the space of a generation.
In addition to the dramatic swells that roll in from the open Pacific, the mountains of central Costa Rica rise dramatically from the shore, creating scenery that will cast a spell over you the second you lay your eyes upon it.
The only missing ingredient for a perfect holiday is having a proper villa to serve as your home base. Up in the hills above Domincal’s beaches are a series of luxury properties that will allow you to experience this magical place in comfort.
Many of them ahave been constructed from natural materials, have bespoke touches that include wine cellars, and they have views of the coastal mountains that will sear themselves into your memory banks for years to come.
3) Papagayo Peninsula
This location in Costa Rica is not as well known to the average traveler, as it has been developed in recent years. Home to a Four Seasons hotel and series of affiliated super-luxury villas (many cost north of $10,000 USD per night), this thin peninsula has a topography that screams exclusivity.
Home to beaches that offer privacy that is unmatched elsewhere in Guanacaste, and a golf course designed by Arnold Palmer, there will be plenty here to satisfy your refined tastes during the day.
At night, you will have a spectacular living environment to come home to, as these villas have priceless art pieces adorning their walls in addition to having gourmet kitchens, private plunge pools, and ceiling-to-floor windows.
These homes also have complimentary access to facilities available on the Four Seasons Resort, placing everything you need to have a spectacular holiday within easy reach.
