Peninsula Papagayo

This is the epitome of luxury in the region, an exclusive gated community home to five-star resorts like the Four Seasons and Andaz. The peninsula is a secluded, lush escape with a strong focus on sustainability. It boasts world-class amenities including a championship golf course, a private marina for yachts, and secluded, pristine beaches with calm waters ideal for swimming and snorkeling. This area is perfect for travelers seeking privacy and high-end services, with all the resort comforts and activities within a secure and beautiful setting.

Playas del Coco

As the largest and most developed town in the Gulf of Papagayo, Playas del Coco serves as the vibrant hub for the entire region. It has a bustling main street lined with a wide variety of restaurants, bars, souvenir shops, and tour operators. The beach is a long stretch of dark volcanic sand, a perfect spot to relax and watch the fishing boats. This neighborhood offers the most services and nightlife in the area and is a great base for day trips and excursions to nearby national parks, volcanoes, and snorkeling spots.

Playa Hermosa & Playa Panama

Located just a short drive from Playas del Coco, these two beaches offer a more tranquil and laid-back alternative. Both are known for their calm, family-friendly waters and quiet atmosphere. Playa Hermosa, meaning “beautiful beach,” lives up to its name with a serene, tree-lined coast. Playa Panama is equally peaceful, with a wide, soft-sand beach. These areas are home to a mix of upscale hotels, vacation rentals, and a few local restaurants, making them a perfect retreat for those who want a relaxing beach vacation without being too far from the action of Coco.
