Costa Rica Holidays - The perfect activity and adventure destination

Costa Rica boasts an extraordinary collection of beautiful national parks and protected areas for its small size – this Central American nation being barely the size of Denmark. This is evidenced by its fascinating biodiversity and pristine forests rich in flora and fauna.

Costa Ricans, or Ticos, are renowned for their warm welcome and hospitality. This small and easygoing country offers an extraordinary wildlife haven and is the perfect family destination, offering an endless choice of activities and adventures on our perfect Costa Rica family holidays.

Despite its location in the tropics, the central highland valleys provide a temperate, sunny climate for a perfect Costa Rica luxury holiday, as well as beautiful landscapes of rolling hills, volcanic peaks, lush cloud forests and thundering rivers. You’ll find the perfect retreat in one of the country’s beautiful haciendas, surrounded by plantations growing the coffee, bananas and cocoa for which Costa Rica is famed.

From there, it’s a choice of whether to head to the Pacific or Caribbean coasts. On the Caribbean side, lush mangroves and inland sea-fed canals play host to a rich array of birdlife and offer the perfect habitat for nesting turtles, as well as more than 400 species of birds.

Further south you’ll encounter simple laid-back towns with a truly African-Caribbean flavour and rhythm, as well as some of the country’s most beautiful stretches of beach. The Pacific’s wilder seas offer some dramatic coastline that’s perfect for surfing, and relaxed coastal towns, like Montezuma and Malpais, in which to hang out on your Costa Rica luxury holiday.

For the best wildlife-spotting, you’ll find a profusion of monkeys, sloths, birds and other fauna in the thick primary rainforest, the most pristine of these being Corcovado and Piedras Blancas National Parks on the Osa Peninsula.

Luxury holidays to Costa Rica are heaven for lovers of wildlife and the great outdoors. With so many places to explore packed into such a small space, we’re able offer a wealth of inside-track knowledge and expert guides, in order to create perfect luxury holidays to Costa Rica.

We’d love to share our thoughts with you on how best to discover its secrets – whether you’re looking for a raft of adrenalin-fuelled activities to keep the teenagers entertained or a unique romantic sojourn, combining wildlife lodges with barefoot-chic coastal retreats. For a truly different and personalised luxury Costa Rica holiday, we’re on-hand to provide all the expertise you need.
