Days 1–3: Pacific Coast, Playa Estrellos

Driving distance from SJO: about 1.75 hours

Playa Estrellos overlooks rainforests and the Pacific Ocean from its hilltop setting in Puntarenas. The town is a gateway to Manuel Antonio National Park, a small but biodiverse park that’s home to all four Costa Rican monkeys: spider, howler, white-faced, and squirrel (which is endangered). The city is also convenient to the region’s white-sand beaches—they’re good for swimming and surfing. Your home base will be Alma del Pacifico Beach Hotel & Spa, a secluded, Pacific coast beachfront property with easy access to the surfing beaches of Jaco and the attractions in Manuel Antonio.

  • Take a spin along Coastal Highway 34 for the best views of the region’s dramatic ocean cliffs.
  • With its central location Alma del Pacifico’s staff can help you arrange excursions including watersports, zip lining, whitewater rafting, and more.
  • Best hotel amenities: a secluded beach, an onsite spa, and an open-air restaurant serving Costa Rican specialties. The rooms are uniquely designed, freestanding villas, with lush private gardens and colorful artwork.

Days 4–6: Central Valley

Driving distance from Manuel Antonio: about 1.5 hours

The nation’s capital, San José, sits in the heart of the country in a lush upland basin surrounded by mountains. Its central location makes it a good base for exploring Costa Rica’s jungles and volcanoes, though there’s plenty to do in the city as well. The Pre-Columbian Gold Museum is a highlight, showcasing an impressive collection of artifacts that include a life-size statue of a cacique, or chieftain. You can also see a collection of old coins in the neighboring Numismatic Museum. You’ll stay at Finca Rosa Blanca Coffee Plantation Resort, located about 12 miles (20 km) north of the city.

  • Mercado Central: Vendors sell fried plantains, sugarcane brandy, and other goods at stands known as sodas. You can also stock up on souvenirs, from handcrafted leather and jewelry to T-shirts and musical instruments.
  • See the countryside: The Central Valley is chock full of unique small towns, national parks, volcanoes, and cultural attractions all within close proximity to the resort.
  • Best hotel amenities: a spring-fed infinity pool, private verandas overlooking the valley, luxury rooms, hot tubs, free WiFi, and gourmet cuisine sourced from onsite organic gardens. Rosa Blanca has a 5 Leaf Certification from Costa Rica’s Sustainable Tourism Program CST, and is a fully sustainable resort.

Day 7: Return Flight from SJO

Driving distance from Finca Rosa Blanca Coffee Plantation Resort: about 20 minutes
