A Creative, Colorful Escape in Costa Rica's Natural Paradise
Set between the turquoise waters of Culebra Bay and the emerald canopy of the rainforest, Andaz Costa Rica Resort at Peninsula Papagayo offers a vibrant take on pura vida — where barefoot luxury meets playful spirit and natural immersion.
Carved into the hillside, the resort’s open-air rooms and suites blend contemporary design with organic textures, offering sweeping bay views and a seamless indoor-outdoor flow. Dining is fresh and expressive: wood-fired Costa Rican cuisine, Latin American street food, and seasonal ingredients served with a creative twist.
Wellness unfolds naturally throughout the resort. Guests are invited into open-air treatments, sound healing, and movement sessions guided by the rhythms of the forest. The Onda Spa is a sanctuary of connection — to self, to nature, and to the present moment.
Highlight: Sunset paddleboarding on the bay — a quiet, golden ritual of balance, reflection, and awe.
