Playa Penca, Guanacaste
Just 40 minutes from Liberia airport, Waldorf Astoria Costa Rica brings the brand’s refined design and elevated service to a private 600-acre enclave in the Papagayo region. Set on Playa Penca at the tip of the Punta Cacique Peninsula, it offers privacy, seclusion, and serene views over the ocean. Days flow easily between swimming, dining, spa rituals and cultural experiences, from Costa Rican coffee tastings to Latin American rum and cooking classes for adults and children.
