Papagayo Peninsula is located on the north Pacific coast of Costa Rica in the northwest province of Guanacaste. It is located in the Golfo de Papagayo and was formed by volcanic activity as the Caribbean tectonic plate continuously overrode the Cocos Plate and by subsequent weather erosion.[1] The 15 miles (24 km) at the coastline contains 31 separate beaches. The larger Elena Peninsula Santa to the north protects the waters in the Papagayo Peninsula.
Papagayo Peninsula is a popular tourist destination, home to the Four Seasons Resort Costa Rica, which includes an Arnold Palmer Signature Course.[2] The peninsula also includes a small selection of luxury homes and properties with multiple new projects that are being developed in the area.[3] Per government mandate, 70% of the land in the Papagayo Peninsula must remain natural ensuring that the beauty of the land is not lost by overdevelopment.[4]
Resorts and Hotels
Papagayo Peninsula is becoming an increasingly popular tourist destination. As of 2018, the peninsula is home to 3 resorts: the Four Seasons Costa Rica, the Andaz Peninsula Papagayo Resort, and Planet Hollywood Beach Resort Costa Rica. The Four Seasons Resort has been received numerous awards specifically from Travel + Leisure like the 500 World’s Best Hotels in 2009[citation needed], the World's 3 Best Service 2012[5] and 2013 until 2022,[6] 25th on the World's Number One Family Beach Resorts in 2016[citation needed] and the number one resort in Latin America.[7]
Permanent Residence
The first luxury resort and development venture in Central America to be ecologically friendly is called Peninsula Papagayo. As a group of estate mansions, it is situated among the peninsula's hills. Custom private estates, home sites with ocean views and oceanfronts, as well as opulent condominiums and villas are among the residential options offered in the Peninsula Papagayo real estate's first phase. Private estates and villas are available in their own region at the Four Seasons Resort. Each private estate owner has access to the Four Seasons Resort's amenities, including housekeeping, room service, use of the Arnold Palmer Golf Course, the hotel spa, and access to the pool and fitness center. Additionally, there are condos in the neighborhood named Las Terrazas that look out over the fairways of the Arnold Palmer Golf Course and the Bahia de Culebra. The Playa Prieta beachfront estates, the sole beachfront property choice along the peninsula's 15 miles of coastline, are another alternative for a home. Contact information for the Four Seasons Costa Rica office handling real estate sales can be found on the Peninsula Papagayo website.
