When you walk into the Andaz at Peninsula Papagayo, you are greeted by a circular dome with an open back that shows you one of the most fantastic ocean and jungle views of the country. Attendants hand you a towel and ask you to sit as they check you in and take care of everything. With a coconut in hand, the sun shining high in the sky at almost all times, and no worries, it’s easy to see why the trendiest place for second or third homes is the beautiful Peninsula Papagayo.
The Andaz at Peninsula Papagayo is a luxury hotel with 4 pools, 4 restaurants, 3 beaches, and a world-class spa that is currently building its already sold-out residential condominiums. The resort has been referred to as the “younger sibling” of the Four Seasons right down the road, with the same high-class luxury feel but in a younger-millennial laidback environment. The fully-furnished luxury residences will be managed and serviced by Hyatt but with the quintessential Andaz touch. Relaxed, natural, and uncomplicated, the Andaz residences will have a distinctly local feel and immerse residents in the Pura Vida (or "good life") culture with an elevated twist.
All of the resort amenities are available to residents as well, including the newest re-opening of the hotel’s trendy restaurant Ostra. Helmed by Michelin-trained chef Bruno Alves, the restaurant’s flavors are centralized around fresh, local seafood. “Ostra is a restaurant focused on seafood, using the best catches we have based on the tides and the moon,” said Bruno in a recent Instagram post. “They decide what the sea will bring us, and then we mix lots of techniques, cuisines, and cultures to get where we want.” Another new addition is a vinyl DJ to help set the mood for diners, an environment reminiscent of the famous Miami “clubstaurants” and providing a location for the younger crowd to enjoy a few drinks and relax. (Pro recommendation: when dining, try the Lobster & Seafood Fideuà. Chef's kiss.)
Peninsula Papagayo, itself, is a luxury community with offerings and amenities for the whole family. Besides the two residential offerings of the Four Seasons and the Andaz, there is a new Ritz-Carlton Resort and Residences being built named Nekajui; The Enclaves, a new collection of ten tropical contemporary oceanfront homes by iconic Costa Rican architect Ronald Zürcher; and Bahias, a remarkable collection of 13 private family compounds by celebrated AIA Gold Medalist Antoine Predock. Residents of Peninsula Papagayo have access to 1,400 acres of beaches, hotels, a golf course, outdoor adventures, and a community – a millionaire’s playground. A most recent addition is the Palmares Aerial Adventure which allows residents to zip through the tree tops and complete aerial courses throughout the Guanacastan jungle.
With all of these services, Peninsula Papagayo has skyrocketed in popularity and is considered one of the hottest destinations to own real estate. The unique region allows a luxurious walk on the wild side – a refined yet adventurous lifestyle that you cannot get anywhere else. The best news of all? As the lower half of the peninsula is slowly becoming sold out, there are rumors of expansion to the upper half – providing a whole new world to explore.
