Costa Rica

Costa Rica used to be very off the beaten path. Though the secret may be out now about this glorious tropical destination, don’t think you’ll be bumping elbows with other tourists here. There’s plenty of Costa Rica to go around, and luxurious privacy is the name of the game; just you, your villa, the parrots and the monkeys.

Costa Rica can be as adventurous or as relaxed as you wish…or both, all in the same day. Known for its protected and biodiverse jungle and quiet beaches lining a rugged coast, especially in the Pacific provinces of Guanacaste and Puntarenas, activities on land and on the water abound. Golfing and spa retreats are also very popular here.
