Friday, January 19, 2024

The Andaz Costa Rica Resort at Peninsula Papagayo, a top-tier eco-luxury retreat nestled within the exclusive 1,400-acre Peninsula Papagayo resort community, is delighted to announce the grand unveiling of its 25 new residential villas featuring 1-2-3 bedrooms. Alongside the introduction of a revamped flagship restaurant, Ostra, and the inauguration of the beachfront haven, Casa de Playa, the resort has undergone a remarkable transformation, enhancing the guest experience from start to finish.

General Manager Patrick Schori, formerly of Park Hyatt Tokyo, expressed his excitement, stating, “I am delighted to unveil the new villas, along with refined culinary and beach experiences, marking a significant milestone in establishing the entire resort as a premier destination within a destination. With these enhancements complementing the exceptional amenities of Peninsula Papagayo, the resort is poised to offer an unparalleled and unforgettable luxury experience, setting new standards in hospitality.”

A new and exclusive hillside neighborhood, providing breathtaking views of Culebra Bay, has been seamlessly integrated into the resort. Designed by the renowned Costa Rican architect Ronald Zürcher, known for his organic architectural style that harmoniously blends with the natural surroundings, the residential villas showcase local art and offer expansive views. Guests in the one and two-bedroom villas can indulge in indoor/outdoor living and a spacious private plunge pool on their terrace. The two and three-bedroom penthouses feature distinctive covered rooftop terraces with an open-air living room, plunge pool, and daybed, offering panoramic views of the enchanting Papagayo night skies.

Villa guests will enjoy privileged access to elevated culinary experiences, including chef-curated market-fresh baskets and complimentary afternoon aperitivo delivered to the villa. Coffee enthusiasts can savor the in-villa coffee program meticulously crafted by the resort’s award-winning Head Barista. Additionally, guests will have exclusive access to breakfast at Ostra and priority dinner reservations at the recently reimagined restaurant led by the acclaimed Michelin-chef trained Chef Bruno Alves. Those interested in immersing themselves in the local community can visit a nearby village and participate in a community gardening project to handpick produce for a personalized chef-prepared dinner inside their villa.

Wellness takes center stage in the resort’s programming. Villa guests can partake in exclusive expert-led in-villa experiences, such as In-Pool Sound Healing. A dedicated Residence Concierge ensures seamless exploration of the wonders of Peninsula Papagayo’s natural playground, offering priority scheduling for villa guests to enjoy bespoke experiences and the extensive amenities of the Peninsula Papagayo community.

The recently inaugurated beach club, Casa de Playa, promises an elevated pool and beach experience on the expansive sands of Playa Nacascolo. The completion of Casa de Playa is slated for February 2024, coinciding with the opening of the adjacent Meso restaurant.

Andaz Costa Rica stands as a distinctive and immersive retreat, allowing guests to fully embrace the essence of Costa Rica’s captivating culture and awe-inspiring natural beauty.
