Andaz Peninsula Papagayo Resort, Costa Rica

Rooms, suites, and private villas blend modern design with natural materials, warm woods, and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking Culebra Bay and the tropical forest. For an elevated stay, choose a two- or three-bedroom penthouse featuring three levels of living space, panoramic views, and a rooftop terrace with a private pool.

Begin the day with breakfast at Gaio, which transforms into a relaxed Italian trattoria in the evening. Savor Southeast Asian flavors at Ostra or enjoy sushi and an omakase experience at Perla. Chao Pescao offers Latin American and Caribbean–inspired tapas with live music, while Meso at the beach club serves Mediterranean dishes beside the water.

Relax at one of three beaches or five pools, including an adults-only pool. The forest-set ONDA Spa features six indoor and outdoor treatment suites, a dry sauna, cold plunge circuit, and dedicated wellness spaces. Visit the Beauty Bar for additional pampering, or join guided meditation, yoga, or sound healing sessions.

Explore the outdoors with activities ranging from an aerial adventure course to mountain biking and off-roading. Enjoy water sports and lessons with SurfX, or make use of the electric-assist bike network. Guests can also take advantage of golf, tennis, and pickleball facilities nearby, with complimentary transfers available.
