Costa Rica's Peninsula Papagayo to Undergo $100 Million Transformation

Costa Rica's Peninsula Papagayo to Undergo $100 Million Transformation
With the completion of this upcoming capital improvements project, homeowners, resort guests and visitors to Costa Rica will experience the natural wonders of the 1,400-acre biodiverse peninsula through a combination of new builds; major enhancements including the multi-million renovation of Four Seasons Resort Costa Rica; first-ever Peninsula Papagayo amenities; transformative only-here explorations; and an ongoing focus on sustainability and wellness including a peninsula-wide network of more than eight miles of nature trails designed to integrate man and nature and help preserve one of the most extraordinary biological corridors on the planet.

This significant investment toward the continued transformation and preservation of Peninsula Papagayo will include:

  • A major renovation of Four Seasons Resort Costa Rica, the only Forbes five-star resort in Central and South America; the resort makeover features a locally-inspired yet globally-considered modern design aesthetic from Meyer Davis Studio spanning all 181 guest room, suites and villas; the expansive lobby; five culinary venues plus an all-new Añejo bar and Library lounge; and the signature pool area along with the introduction of new guest experiences rooted in a connection to self and nature



  • A new peninsula-wide network of more than eight miles of nature trails that will connect guests with nature while preserving the bio-diverse corridor



  • A new Macaw sanctuary designed to cultivate this native species through conservation and educational programming



  • An enhancement of Marina Papagayo – a 180-slip luxury marina that is a premier destination for superyachts – with a new restaurant and lounge, gourmet grocery market and an array of new yacht charter offerings



  • An enhancement of Peninsula Papagayo Golf Club that features an 18-hole Palmer Signature Course, five tennis courts (four Har-Tru courts and one grass court) and a signature restaurant



  • A new Papagayo Explorers Club – a program of only-here experiences across active adventures, culture, wellness, fitness and volunteerism ranging from exhilarating spinner dolphin explorations and mountain biking to cheese making and pottery sessions with local artisans



  • A continued investment in the growth of Creciendo Juntos – a nonprofit association founded by Peninsula Papagayo that supports the development of local Guanacaste communities including schools and a children’s clinic through various educational, health and leadership programs; resort guests and homeowners can help make an impact through immersive volunteerism opportunities



  • An ongoing focus on sustainability and land preservation – which is the heart of Peninsula Papagayo – through the growth of environmental, maritime, archaeological, social and educational initiatives and an increased investment in the research and development of new programs


Peninsula Papagayo is located 30 minutes from Liberia International Airport, which offers more than 100 weekly flights seasonally from major cities in the U.S., Canada, U.K. and across Central America. It is home to 11 miles of dramatic coastline, eight miles of majestic bluff edges, seven sandy beaches and one of the few tropical dry forests on the planet.
