Costa Rica accommodation from AU$166

Don’t turn up in Costa Rica with notions of checking your work email. The nation’s relaxed “Pura Vida” attitude runs deep, and it’s bound to wash over you the moment you arrive. Plan on soaking up plenty of sunshine, breathing in fresh rainforest air and witnessing firsthand the beauty of a blue morpho butterfly fluttering through the trees. With one of the most diverse ecological environments on the planet, Costa Rica has surprises around every corner. In between spotting vibrant toucans and playing on the beach, local restaurants welcome you to devour ceviche and tamales. At the end of a full day, your Costa Rica accommodation offers a quiet retreat where you can fall asleep to the sounds of nature.

Things to Do in Costa Rica

Costa Rica is nothing if not a treasure trove of opportunities for adventure. Get a taste of the nation’s coffee culture in a San Jose café, go zip-lining in Selvatura Park and hike through Parque Nacional Corcovado, which was called “biologically intense” by National Geographic. Turn up the heat on your holiday by embarking on a white water rafting tour, then slow things down by getting a massage. Costa Rica hotels range from large resorts to quiet waterfront inns, so you can always find the ideal spot to unwind.

Getting To & Around Costa Rica

Costa Rica holidays begin with a flight to Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO). Once you’ve arrived, domestic flights are the easiest way to get from city to city. For shorter distances, buses and taxis are the best modes of transportation.

The pure life of Costa Rica is waiting for you. Witness unfettered rainforest, incredible wildlife and some of the world’s warmest people—the Ticas (local residents) really know how to make you feel at home.
