Four Seasons Resort Peninsula Papagayo, Costa Rica

Four Seasons Resort Peninsula Papagayo occupies the tip of a narrow peninsula in Guanacaste, perched high above the Pacific with water and tropical forest on multiple sides.

The 45-acre resort has 199 accommodations designed around a treehouse concept, using hardwood floors, natural fabrics, local stone and outdoor living spaces to connect rooms to the surrounding landscape.

Suites and private residences expand into increasingly residential layouts with plunge pools, kitchens and broad terraces for families and groups who want more privacy.

The wider Peninsula Papagayo community adds beaches, tennis, pickleball, padel, a lap pool and extensive nature programming, while the resort’s spa and Wellness Shala reinforce a strong health-and-recovery focus.

Four Seasons Papagayo is best for travelers who want Costa Rica’s wildlife and outdoor adventure without sacrificing full resort infrastructure, particularly active families and couples who expect both beach and forest.
