From the jungle vibes of Art Villas to the coastal charm of Nantipa, these resorts are as diverse as Costa Rica itself. But don’t expect a boring list of the usual suspects—these are handpicked gems that offer more than just a place to sleep. Think private villas, gourmet dining, and, of course, that all-important Instagrammable pool. But as much as I love each of these spots, not all of them will make the final cut. I’m here to crown Costa Rica’s best premium resort, and it’s not an easy choice.
Join me, my mom, and my friend Maria, as we eliminate the contenders, one by one, until only the crème de la crème remains. Will it be the secluded Golfo Dulce Retreat or the chic Achiote Villas? Or perhaps Art Villas will steal the show with its unbeatable design? Watch till the end to find out which resort wins the title of Costa Rica’s best premium stay.
