Four Seasons Resort Peninsula Papagayo, Costa Rica

Welcome to Four Seasons Resort Costa Rica at Peninsula Papagayo. Spilling down a coastal hillside to an isthmus of golden sand, Four Seasons creates an ambience of simple luxury in this pristine natural setting. With two unspoiled beaches, an indigenous spa, championship golf and the magic of the tropical dry forest. The Resort’s 198 guest rooms, suites and residences capture the exotic character of Costa Rica, with comfortable rattan and bamboo furnishings, local artwork and indigenous wood and stone finishes. Each seamlessly blends indoor comfort with an open-air furnished terrace or veranda for soaking up the mesmerizing views. Capturing the essence of Costa Rica, The Spa at Four Seasons offers a calm environment with naturally chic décor and ocean views from relaxation lounges. The comprehensive selection of facials, body treatments and massages highlights therapies using indigenous ingredients, such as mineral-rich rainforest muds from the nearby Osa Peninsula. Guests may enjoy breakfast, lunch or dinner either indoors or on the adjoining patio. Open-air seating overlooks the daytime activity taking place around the Resort's pools. The two-level fitness centre – with 202 square metres (2,178 square feet) of state-of-the-art fitness facilities – adds inspiration with beach views through trees and greenery. Workouts can incorporate a range of cardio machines, equipped with TVs and docking stations. Also available are resistance-training machines and classes in aerobics, yoga and mat Pilates. Personal trainers are on hand for guidance and motivation. Afterwards, luxurious locker rooms help guests relax with steam rooms and discreet outdoor hot and cold plunge pools. Four Seasons is positioned on Costa Rica’s northwest Pacific coast within the province of Guanacaste. Though it’s the country’s second-largest province by area, Guanacaste is the least populated, offering a calm, peaceful ambience. The pampas – or prairie – landscape is an unusual mix of grassy savannahs, immense cattle ranches and tropical dry forest, backed by volcanic mountain ranges.
