    • Playa Tamarindo

      With sunny days on the sand and pulsing party nights, holidays to Playa Tamarindo are a beach lover's dream.

    • Playa Conchal

      Away from the hustle and bustle, holidays to Playa Conchal are slices of paradise served with generous helpings of sand and sea.

    • Papagayo Bay

      Seclusion seekers are in luck on Papagayo Bay holidays – this wedge of coast is home to hush-hush beaches, squirreled-away hotels and loads of wildlife.

    • Guanacaste

      “From snow-white sands to emerald-green rainforests, Guanacaste showcases the best of Costa Rica's scenery.”

    • Playa Flamingo

      Holidays to Playa Flamingo are all about the Blue Flag beach – it's arguably one of the best in the region. Throw in an idyllic bay and small commercial centre and you've got a lovely little retreat.

    • Playa Langosta

      Playa Langosta holidays deliver the goods when it comes to a tan-coloured beach, epic surfing and a handy collection of seaside cocktail bars.

    • Playa de Matapalo

      Holidays to Playa Matapalo tend to revolve around the long sandy beach that gives this area its name. This secluded spot is backed by mountains and hills cloaked in tropical greenery.

    • El Jobo
