Make Costa Rica your next getaway

With volcanoes in the distance, jungles at your doorstep, and surf rolling in from both coasts, Costa Rica delivers the kind of wild, beautiful vacation that resets your rhythm completely. Whether you're hiking through cloud forests, ziplining over treetops, soaking in hot springs, or sipping coffee on a beachside balcony, “pura vida” (pure life) isn't just a phrase here—it’s a way of being.

Recent Costa Rica guest reviews

Very nice condo with comfortable beds, hot showers, and lovely soap and shampoo products. Everything is clean and well organized. It couldn’t be a better place on the beach! It’s all sand — not a rocky beach — with steady waves for both beginners and advanced surfers.

This house was just what we needed for our family of 5. The Casita was a pleasant surprise, providing extra space and privacy for my mother. It was close enough to town but far enough away for a tranquil escape.
Patricia J. | Feb 2026
We just stayed 7 days at Villa Mer and it was an outdoor entertaining gem. The pool, the patio, the covered dining area, the seating options, and the proximity to the beach were all outstanding. The owner was very attentive to our needs and provided great information for what's happening in the area. The main house and separate sleeping area was larger than expected and provided all the necessary amenities for a long stay.

Why vacation in Costa Rica?

Costa Rica is one of the most biodiverse countries on Earth. You'll find sloths napping in trees, dolphins leaping near your boat, and monkeys chattering in the canopy—all within a single day if you plan it right.

The beauty runs deeper than beaches and rainforests, though. It’s in how the country treats its environment, how it welcomes travelers, and how life seems to slow down just enough to notice more, savor longer, and breathe deeper.

With direct flights from North America, great infrastructure, and a wide variety of vacation types—from wild adrenalin to slow eco-luxury—it’s no wonder Costa Rica tops bucket lists around the world.
