Costa Rica

Costa Rica is the perfect place to enjoy luxury villa rentals in beachfront and rainforest locations. Lying in the heart of Central America, it is known for its natural beauty, diverse wildlife, and commitment to sustainability. Its warm tropical climate makes it a great place to escape the cold winter weather in other parts of the world; no wonder it's also a popular destination for luxury holiday homes.

The beaches of Costa Rica are truly spectacular, from the white-sand beaches of the Pacific Coast to the black-sand beaches of the Caribbean Coast. Some of the most spectacular beaches are on the Papagayo Peninsula, offering great places to spot wildlife, enjoy swimming, kayaking or surfing, or simply relax and soak up the sun.

As well as the beaches, the country is home to a wide variety of other ecosystems, including tropical rainforests, cloud forests, mountains, and volcanoes. This habitat diversity supports a vast array of plant and animal life, making Costa Rica one of the most biodiverse countries in the world.

Visit Corcovado and Manuel Antonio National Parks to see rainforest wildlife, including jaguars, toucans, monkeys, sloths and scarlet macaws. Monteverde Cloud Forest is home to a variety of species adapted to the moist, foggy conditions, including red-eyed tree frogs, howler monkeys, and ocelots. Poás Volcano National Park features an active volcano, crater lakes and hot springs.

The spectacular rainforests are also great for adventure-seekers who can enjoy hikes to waterfalls, whitewater rafting, or ziplining through the treetops.

Off the coast, the clear waters are abundant in marine life, including vibrant corals, whale sharks, manta rays, dolphins, sea turtles, manatees, and humpback whales.

End your adventure-packed days in Costa Rica by soaking in the hot springs, relaxing with an indulgent spa treatment, or dipping your toes in your luxury villa's private pool while sipping a fresh cocktail.
