A new beach club called Casa de Playa will be opened by Andaz in November 2023. 

Designed by Ronald Zürcher of Costa Rica, Andaz finished a collection of penthouses with two or three bedrooms, rooftop patios, and plunge pools in the summer of 2023. The villas had two or three bedrooms.

The idea of Peninsula Papagayo was born out of a desire to create the perfect natural playground. Guests of all ages can enjoy the area's abundance of land and sea-based recreational activities, such as surfing world-class breakers and hiking in the UNESCO-protected reserve next to the peninsula. 

Exciting activities such as tree climbing, aerial trekking, zip lining, and miles and miles of mountain biking trails are available on 250 acres at the Palmares Outpost. Next year, the adventure center will be finished as part of a bigger sports complex that also has bocce ball courts, a wave-surf simulator, a children's splash park, tennis courts, pickleball courts, a four-lane, 82-foot lap pool, and a yoga and meditation deck that overlooks picturesque Bahias Bay.

Guests are not need to leave the peninsula to partake in night walks, birdwatching, outrigger paddling, mangrove excursions, monkey spotting, coral planting, and gardening. 

The in-house surf operation at the Four Seasons, SurfX, provides lessons, boat cruises to the neighboring breakers at Witch's Rock and Ollie's Point, and professional surfing boot camps lasting two days for resort guests. 

On their journey to Isla del Coco, scuba divers and megayacht owners may opt to stay at Marina Papagayo. The little conservation area, which is on the UNESCO World Heritage List, is known as "Treasures Island," and it is home to over a dozen dive spots. 

On the other hand, the Arnold Palmer Signature Course has recently undergone renovations, so you may stay on dry land and work on your swing there. 

The Vision Gallery on the peninsula is a great place to learn about Costa Rican art if you're interested in seeing some pop-up shows featuring the work of Costa Rican artists who have a focus on sustainability, community, and the environment.
