Description
The Papagayo Peninsula (Peninsula Papagayo) is one of Costa Rica’s most exclusive coastal destinations, an elegant retreat of tropical nature, tranquil bays, and luxurious resorts. The dry tropical forest-covered peninsula on Culebra Bay is known for its pale sandy beaches, warm Pacific waters, and sheltered coves ideal for swimming, snorkeling, and paddling. Papagayo combines renowned luxury resorts with a modern marina, an Arnold Palmer-designed golf course, and a largely unspoiled coastal landscape. Costa Rica’s premier beach retreat lies just around 30 minutes from Liberia International Airport.
