If holidays to Costa Rica have been parked on your wish list, it’s time to pack your sunglasses and cross it off. It’s easy to see why the first Spanish settlers called it the ‘Rich Coast’ given the country’s incredible biodiversity. Costa Rica is a paradise for nature lovers and outdoor aficionados, featuring expansive jungles teeming with unique wildlife and dormant and active volcanoes. In Costa Rica, you can count on spotting toucans, monkeys, and sloths, even from the balcony of your hotel room. Washed by the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean, Costa Rica offers the best of both worlds – gentle crystalline waters perfect for snorkelling and volcanic beaches with surfer-drawing swells.

Luxury Costa Rica holidays get up close and personal with nature as you stay at exclusive eco-lodges nestled in the jungle, where your morning alarm clock is replaced by the howling of monkeys. Spend your time on private tours through the lush rainforest, taking guided treks up volcanoes, or swimming with sea turtles. Fuel your adventures with Costa Rican coffee and tropical fruit. And finish your days rocking in a macramé hammock, your favourite drink in hand, waiting for the sunset.
