The Sanctuary on Peninsula Papagayo
Where bio-diverse tropical rainforests meet modern architectural elegance
Perched organically along the sun-drenched hillsides of Costa Rica's coveted Peninsula Papagayo, Andaz Peninsula Papagayo Resort offers an authentic immersion into the vibrant natural beauty of Guanacaste. Designed by acclaimed Costa Rican architect Ronald Zürcher, the resort mimics the shapes of native flora, cocoons, and shells, allowing the resort's 176 accommodations to melt seamlessly into the pristine tropical dry forest canopy overlooking the tranquil waters of Culebra Bay.
Here, luxury is unpretentious and deeply tied to the Pura Vida spirit. Guests wake to the distant call of howler monkeys and melodic tropical birds, spend afternoons basking alongside the secluded adults-only serenity pool or riding the resort's private water taxi "Nimbu" to the exclusive Andaz Beach House, and unwind at night with artisanal mixology and Latin street tapas at Chao Pescao.
As part of the master-planned Peninsula Papagayo enclave, visitors enjoy access to an 18-hole Arnold Palmer Signature golf course, world-class tennis and pickleball courts, private yacht excursions from Marina Papagayo, and guided canopy adventures at the Outpost Adventure Park.
