Character and identity

Set on a narrow isthmus near the tip of Peninsula Papagayo, this 182-room resort is flanked by two private golden-sand beaches (Playa Blanca and Playa Virador) and threaded through 1,400 acres of tropical dry forest. Ronald Zürcher's architecture scatters earth-toned villas under the canopy, linked by quiet pathways and built around a fire-and-water palette of corals, crimsons and teals. Seven restaurants run the gamut from Pesce (Italian) to Nemare (steak and wagyu) and Bahia (wood-fired Latin American, outdoors). The 18-room spa, with a Turkish hammam and a new open-air wellness shala on the hill, anchors a polished, warm Four Seasons service register.

Who's it for

Best for:
Multi-generational families and couples who want jungle-and-Pacific scenery without roughing it. The kids club, teen clubhouse, multi-bedroom residences and SurfX programme (Witch's Rock day trips, beginner lessons on Playa Blanca) suit families; the hammam, sound baths and wellness shala draw spa-minded adults and honeymooners.

Should look elsewhere:
Travellers wanting a walkable destination or a buzzy local scene will find this is a self-contained gated community, with everything happening on property. The hilly, uneven terrain also makes parts of the resort and beach access difficult for wheelchair users.

Bottom line

What sets this place apart is the combination of two beaches on a single isthmus and a genuinely serious wellness operation, including one of Costa Rica's only authentic hammams. It's the strongest luxury pick in Guanacaste, 45 minutes from Liberia airport. Couples should book a Cielo or Brisa room for unobstructed ocean views; families want a Canopy Suite with plunge pool or a multi-bedroom residence.
