Peninsula Papagayo is Costa Rica’s leading luxury destination and a globally recognised model for regenerative tourism. Nestled beside a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is home to world-class resorts—Andaz, Four Seasons, and Nekajui, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve—and surrounded by vibrant ecosystems of tropical dry forest, coral reefs, mangroves, and seagrass beds.
What sets Papagayo apart is its deep integration of biodiversity into daily operations, treating nature as a strategic asset for long-term environmental, social, and economic value.
