Description
If you like the sound of your own private peninsula, then Costa Rica’s Kasiiya Papagayo could quite possibly be your dream destination. Designed by renowned French architects AW2, the hotel’s five air-conditioned tented suites have been built mainly from natural materials and provide a wealth of lavishness and solitude – you’ll soon forget that you’re even sharing the resort with other guests. Instead it will feel like just you and the vistas of ancient tropical forests and unspoiled beaches visible from your cabin’s widesceen windows.
The breathtaking natural beauty that engorges the area is a huge part of Kasiiya Papagayo, and its founders have ensured to protect this environment since day one. Having committed to have zero impact on the surrounding area (low impact was deemed insufficient), it’s a resort that runs 100 per cent on solar energy and ensures that all rainwater is recycled, while 90 per cent of all produce is organic and sourced locally. The hotel is also committed to contributing to the biodiversity and the people of the local region.
The area itself is begging to be explored, and Kasiiya Papagayo provides plenty of ways to fully experience this unique part of the world. Adventurous types can try their hand at kayaking, snorkeling and surfing, while those keen to learn more about the Gulf of Papagayo’s sea life can arrange an ocean discovery day with a trained guide – where you might spot a manta ray or shark whale. Further inland, keen hikers will want to take on one of the resort’s beach-to-jungle routes, or perhaps a gentler but no less captivating bird-watching stroll through the abundant flora.
Once your exploration is done for the day, the chef is on-hand to rustle up authentic Costa Rican dishes to be devoured at the Sunset Lounge, which offers 360-degree views of the Pacific Rim. Meanwhile, the treehouse wellness and spa area – which specialises in tailor-made treatments – is available for anyone looking to unwind further.
When to Travel
Visitors will enjoy the region throughout the year. From the Christmas holidays until April are the busiest months (although you will hardly notice this in the wonderfully secluded Kasiiya) and tend to be dry and warm. May to October is the wet season with the shoulder season between November and Christmas often viewed as the best time to visit.
Location
Papagayo is frequently visited as part of a tour of Costa Rica and is easily accessed by road. There is an International airport at Liberia, just 45 minutes transfer from Kasiiya.
