Arenal – Hot Springs, Volcano Views & Rainforest Calm

Arenal is Costa Rica’s most iconic landscape: a near-perfect volcanic cone rising above rainforest, rivers, and thick jungle. The region’s fertile soils and geothermal activity create a natural wellness haven, where misty mornings, birdsong, and warm mineral waters set an unhurried rhythm. It’s the country’s flagship destination for combining nature with restorative calm.

The area is home to Costa Rica’s finest hot-spring resorts, each fed by mineral-rich geothermal currents. Pools vary in temperature and setting — some tucked beneath bamboo, others open to sweeping volcano views. Visitors can pair this with guided walks through hanging-bridge cloud forests, wildlife-rich trails, and canopy viewpoints that reveal the full depth of the Arenal ecosystem.

What makes Arenal exceptional is how seamlessly wellness and adventure coexist. Days flow between thermal baths, volcano hikes, rainforest spa rituals, and private tastings of local chocolate and coffee. For travellers seeking a grounded, restorative experience with gentle exploration built in, Arenal feels both energising and deeply soothing.

Manuel Antonio – Wildlife, Cliffside Beaches & Coastal Energy

Manuel Antonio blends wild Pacific coastline with some of the richest biodiversity in the country. Its national park, one of Costa Rica’s most celebrated, protects a compact stretch of rainforest alive with monkeys, sloths, exotic birds, and winding coastal trails. It’s a place where wildlife encounters feel effortlessly natural and where every viewpoint reveals another perfect beach.

The region’s coastline is framed by pale sand, rocky outcrops, and jade-green water, creating one of Costa Rica’s most photogenic settings. Boutique resorts line the hillsides, offering panoramic views and easy access to both the park and nearby coves. Visitors can swim in sheltered bays, explore jungle paths with naturalist guides, or take sunset sails along the rugged Pacific edge.

Manuel Antonio is ideal for travellers who want the feeling of immersion without the remoteness. It combines lively energy — restaurants, coastal culture, small cafés — with the serenity of rainforest and ocean. For couples, families, and first-timers seeking balance, it’s one of Costa Rica’s most rewarding destinations.

The Osa Peninsula – Pure Wilderness & Untouched Luxury

The Osa Peninsula is Costa Rica at its wildest and most elemental. Home to Corcovado National Park — described by National Geographic as one of the most biologically intense places on Earth — the region protects rainforests, mangroves, remote beaches, and waters alive with dolphins, rays, and migrating whales. This is where the country’s biodiversity feels most immediate.

Lodges here specialise in low-impact luxury: open-air designs, ocean-facing decks, and guided experiences led by expert naturalists. Mornings might include spotting scarlet macaws above the canopy; afternoons bring coastline hikes, mangrove kayaking, and snorkelling over coral-rich bays such as Caño Island. The connection to nature is constant, quiet, and transformative.

The Osa is best suited to travellers who value authenticity and depth — those who prefer pristine ecosystems to polished resort life. It offers something rare: genuine wilderness, approached with care and elevated by thoughtful hospitality. For mindful explorers, it’s a place that lingers long after you leave.

Explore Wildlife in Rainforests & National Parks

Costa Rica is one of the world’s most biodiverse countries, and its protected areas make wildlife encounters both effortless and unforgettable. Guided walks in places like Manuel Antonio, Arenal, and Corcovado reveal monkeys leaping through the canopy, sloths resting in cecropia trees, and flashes of tropical birds moving through the forest. Naturalist-led tours deepen the experience, helping travellers understand the fragile ecosystems that make Costa Rica so extraordinary.

Hot Spring Hopping in Arenal

Arenal’s volcanic landscape feeds some of the richest thermal waters in Central America. Resorts and hot-spring complexes offer a range of naturally heated pools — from secluded, bamboo-lined baths to larger open-air terraces overlooking the volcano. “Hot spring hopping” has become a signature Costa Rican ritual, blending mineral-rich waters, rainforest air, and quiet moments of deep rest.

Hike Suspended Bridges & Cloud Forest Trails

In regions like Monteverde and Arenal, suspended bridges lead visitors through mist-filled cloud forests and across deep green valleys. The trails offer an elevated look at the ecosystem, revealing orchids, tree-dwelling wildlife, and sweeping views of the canopy. It’s one of the most atmospheric ways to explore the country — gentle, immersive, and ideal for photography.

Snorkel or Dive Pacific Reefs

Costa Rica’s Pacific coastline is alive with marine life, including sea turtles, rays, reef fish, and seasonal whale migrations. Snorkelling trips to Caño Island or the Papagayo bays offer exceptional visibility, while diving reveals volcanic rock formations, underwater arches, and healthy reef systems. The combination of biodiversity and warm waters makes it accessible for all experience levels.

Enjoy Beach Days on Two Coastlines

With both Pacific and Caribbean shores, Costa Rica offers a huge diversity of beaches — from soft-sand coves and surf-friendly breaks to quiet bays ideal for swimming. Popular regions like Guanacaste, Manuel Antonio, and the Nicoya Peninsula combine beautiful coastline with excellent spa resorts, ocean-view dining, and calm, restorative atmospheres.

Kayak Mangroves & Calm Coastal Inlets

Costa Rica’s mangrove systems — particularly around the Pacific coast — are peaceful, wildlife-rich waterways where travellers can paddle beneath arching roots and still water. Kayaking here reveals a different side of the ecosystem: herons stalking the shallows, iguanas warming on branches, and the gentle movement of the tide. It’s a grounding, slow travel experience that complements the country’s more active adventures.

Best Time to Visit Costa Rica

The best time to visit Costa Rica depends on the rhythm you want from your journey. December to April is the dry season on the Pacific side — clear skies, warm days and calm seas, ideal for hot springs, beaches, wildlife walks and wellness retreats. It’s the most popular time to travel, with crisp mornings in Arenal, golden evenings on the Pacific coast and excellent visibility for rainforest trails, hanging bridges and marine life.

From May to November, the “green season” transforms the country. Afternoon showers bring lush vegetation, quieter trails and superb value at luxury resorts. Wildlife becomes even more active, waterfalls swell, and the landscape feels richer, more atmospheric. This period is particularly beautiful for wellness travellers seeking tranquillity, photographers looking for dramatic skies, and those who don’t mind a gentle tropical rhythm — sunshine in the mornings, warm rain later.

Costa Rica is a genuine year-round destination, but choosing the right season depends on your preference: sun-drenched days and perfect beaches, or lush rainforest, softer crowds and excellent value.

The Essence of Costa Rica

A land shaped by rainforest, volcanoes, and two vast coastlines, Costa Rica is the purest expression of wellness in the wild. Mist-covered valleys, mineral-rich hot springs, and Pacific sunsets set a natural rhythm that feels both grounding and deeply restorative.

This Collection celebrates Costa Rica for what it offers effortlessly: jungle-immersed spas, ocean-view retreats, and wellness experiences guided by nature itself — from thermal rivers to forest bathing and open-air yoga.

Perfect for couples, solo travellers, and anyone seeking renewal with a sense of adventure, Costa Rica encourages presence — a gentle recalibration supported by rainforest calm, warm Pacific breezes, and a culture built around pura vida.
