Costa Rica’s defining luxury resort — the Four Seasons on Peninsula Papagayo occupies its own forested headland with two private beaches, a championship golf course, a full-service spa, and multiple restaurants. The easiest choice for guests who want everything in one address, 35 minutes from Liberia airport.
Why We Chose It
The Four Seasons Papagayo occupies one of the most dramatic resort settings in the world: a private peninsula jutting into the brilliant Gulf of Papagayo, with two beaches of entirely different character facing different directions. The Arnold Palmer-designed golf course winds through protected dry forest. The service is rated the best in Costa Rica. Wildlife — iguanas, monkeys, scarlet macaws — wanders through the property freely.

- Arnold Palmer-designed golf course through tropical dry forest
- Resident wildlife: iguanas, howler monkeys, and scarlet macaws
