Four Seasons Resort Peninsula Papagayo Highlights
Two Beaches, One Extraordinary Peninsula
Positioned at the peninsula's narrowest point, Four Seasons offers the rare luxury of choosing your beach based on mood—calm Culebra Bay for paddleboarding and snorkeling, or the Pacific side for world-class surf breaks. The resort's elevated perch means every accommodation enjoys ocean views, while the new Virador Beach Club creates an adults-only sanctuary where infinity pools blend seamlessly with the horizon.
Adventure Park Meets Five-Star Service
The newly unveiled Explorers Club transforms Peninsula Papagayo into your private adventure playground, with custom-designed ziplines by legend Victor Gallo, 21 high-ropes obstacles, and exclusive access to the 250-acre Palmares Preserve. Unlike typical resort activities, these aren't outsourced excursions—they're Four Seasons experiences with the same attention to detail found in your suite, just 30 feet above the jungle floor.
SurfX: Where Pro Surfers Become Your Instructors
Forget generic surf lessons—SurfX brings world-class coaching to perfect breaks just minutes from the resort. With instructors who've competed globally and equipment curated for Peninsula Papagayo's unique conditions, this isn't just learning to surf; it's mastering the art with guides who read waves like sommeliers read wine, followed by surf-inspired spa treatments back at the resort.
