Beach hotels & resorts in Costa Rica

Romantic beach hideaways & fun beach getaways for family and friends
Make your dream vacation a reality

Boasting exquisite coastlines on both the Caribbean and Pacific, black and white sand beaches, and mesmerizing sunsets, Costa Rica is the quintessential beach getaway for couples on their honeymoon and families and groups of friends travelling together. For golfers, a few selected coastal regions offer a wide range of hotel & resort options. 

The undeveloped Puerto Viejo, Manzanillo and Cahuita in the Caribbean on the southeast coast of Costa Rica offer expansive beaches and the signature pura vida ambience for which Costa Rica is renowned. Hotels are rustic, and the weather in the region allows ample opportunity for a romantic stroll in the rain during the long rainy season. But, if you're looking for the opportunity to relax in your own private escape while experiencing true tico flavor, the Caribbean is for you. 

The northwest Pacific coast beaches of Guanacaste are home to Costa Rica's most luxurious beach resorts, such as JW Marriott, Hilton and Four Seasons. Spectacular all inclusive hotels such as Paradisus Playa Conchal are also available. Punta Islita, Sugar Beach and Capitan Suizo offer a more intimate option with their laidback, boutique hotel ambiance. The breathtaking Nicoya Peninsula, farther south along the Guanacaste coast, offers secluded, romantic beaches, such as Tango Mar and Flor Blanca, making you feel as though you're ensconced in your own private slice of paradise. 

The Central Pacific of Costa Rica features a spectacular array of vegetation and wildlife. There is a handful of hotels and resorts along the beachfront while most others are nestled on hills with marvelous beach views and easy beach access. Beachfront jewels like Arenas del Mar and Xandari are popular options. Spectacular ocean views are the trademark of hilltop resorts like Villa Caletas, La Mansion Inn, Si Como No, Gaia, and Makanda by the Sea. 

Farther south along the Pacific, Osa Peninsula, the wildlife jewel of Costa Rica, offers a mix of beach, nature and adventure. Osa / Corcovado is not so much a beach destination as much as a nature lover's dream come true. There are no beachfront hotels but definitely beach access in this wildlife wonderland. 

From large chain resorts to boutique hotels, beachfront getaways to ocean view hideaways, and luxurious all inclusive resorts to quaint bed and breakfasts, the beach hotels and resorts of Costa Rica are sure to make your fantasy vacation a reality.
