Make Costa Rica your next getaway

With volcanoes in the distance, jungles at your doorstep, and surf rolling in from both coasts, Costa Rica delivers the kind of wild, beautiful vacation that resets your rhythm completely. Whether you're hiking through cloud forests, ziplining over treetops, soaking in hot springs, or sipping coffee on a beachside balcony, “pura vida” (pure life) isn't just a phrase here—it’s a way of being.

Recent Costa Rica guest reviews

La pasamos muy bien, el anfitrion Andrey fue muy amable. Definitivamente volveremos.
Jimena B. | Feb 2026
This casa is located on top of a long curvy steep road but once you get here it is worth the drive. As stated in other reviews do not drive it in the dark your first time. We did encounter delays from San Jose going both ways that took over three hours so plan ahead if you have an early morning flight. We were lucky to have found a driver that took us everywhere where we could have a cocktail and dinner and not worry about driving home. The birds in the morning were incredible. First morning saw two Macaws.

Why vacation in Costa Rica?

Costa Rica is one of the most biodiverse countries on Earth. You'll find sloths napping in trees, dolphins leaping near your boat, and monkeys chattering in the canopy—all within a single day if you plan it right.

The beauty runs deeper than beaches and rainforests, though. It’s in how the country treats its environment, how it welcomes travelers, and how life seems to slow down just enough to notice more, savor longer, and breathe deeper.

With direct flights from North America, great infrastructure, and a wide variety of vacation types—from wild adrenalin to slow eco-luxury—it’s no wonder Costa Rica tops bucket lists around the world.
