The detail

Experience luxury that will last a lifetime in your memory when you stay at this tranquil home on Costa Rica's east coast. Ten minutes from glorious white-sand beaches, the spacious abode can comfortably accommodate large families or groups of friends seeking a paradisal getaway. While away days on the poolside hammock, and enjoy frequent dips in the turquoise waters to cool off from the sun.

A rustic medley of exposed stone walls and wooden beams characterise the interiors, which have been kitted out for modern living with plush seating, multiple dining spots and top-tier entertainment options. Plus, with ceiling fans and air-con throughout, you won't struggle to escape the heat.

You'll have access to the facilities at Hacienda Pinilla Beach Club when you stay here, which range from tennis courts and fitness rooms to spas and swimming pools. Visit the restaurant to enjoy a fresh meal made with local ingredients, before heading back home to watch the sun go down from your peaceful garden. Sounds like heaven to us.

Treading the line between Caribbean paradise and mountainous Central American clime, the entire nation of Costa Rica feels like a beauty spot. With 30 national parks and thousands of miles of untouched forest, there’s no better place for those ready to get back to nature.

Less than three hours from the capital, San José, the active Arenal volcano offers countless gifts. From taking a dip in the natural hot springs dotted throughout the rainforest to horseback riding through the national park nearby, this tropical paradise is filled with natural wonders. All it takes is a short walk into the rainforest to discover incredible protected biodiversity; expect to meet sloths and howler monkeys on your way.

Costa Rica’s two coastlines mean beaches galore of course, with secret caves, coral reefs, and palm groves ready to be explored. San José isn’t to be missed either; museums, lively bars, and unique restaurants all make up the soul of the capital. Here, you will almost certainly be enticed into trying a Casado (translating to ‘marriage’ in Spanish), this dish encompasses all the flavours of Costa Rica.
