Luxury holidays to Papagayo Peninsula

The 24 kilometres of the Papagayo Peninsular are home to no fewer than 31 separate beaches. The peninsular is located on the north Pacific coast of Costa Rica and forms part of the Costa Rica’s Guanacaste province. To make sure that the area is not over developed, 70% of the land is protected by government mandate. The peninsular is popular for a wide variety of activities including surfing, scuba diving snorkelling, kayaking, canoeing white-water rafting and deep-sea fishing. There are man-made pleasures such as the Arnold Palmer 18 hole signature golf course, and a number of aspirational boutiques, restaurants and bars are being built at Village Marina Papagayo, which is broadly based on the Italian port of Portofino. No fewer than five national parks, including the Tenorio Volcanic Park, are located close by, as well as the Lomas de Barbudal Biological Reserve.
