Virtual Vacation: Andaz Costa Rica Resort at Peninsula Papagayo

Elevated in the trees of the lush tropical forest, the Andaz Costa Rica Resort at Peninsula Papagayo reflects the country’s Pura Vida philosophy — the simple life. The resort seamlessly fuses the vibrant local culture with world-class contemporary opulence in design, cuisine and accommodations. The breathtaking views of the sapphire waters of Culebra Bay are the perfect backdrop to the modern design, accentuated with indigenous wood, handwoven textiles, and carved artifacts. The resort lives on an expansive 1,400 natural playground that offers patrons curated experiences, from adventure mountain biking to relaxing mangrove excursions. The space creates a meditative experience that nourishes the body and soul, an authentic legacy of the Chorotegan ancestors that are reflected in this natural sanctuary.

The resort keeps with its esteemed reputation for providing curated experiences, offering guests unique onsite experiences that blend the local culture. Nestled deep in the jungle, the ONDA Spa features nine lavish treatment rooms with an extensive menu of treatments, beautifications, and customized programs including massages, body scrubs, facial therapies, and more. Culinary classes focus on mixology, ceviche-making and Latin American signature dishes including arroz con pollo and arepas. Adventurous guests can escape into nature with activities including snorkeling, biking and kayaking. At this resort, there is truly something for everyone to enjoy.

From our Yuzu Bergamot Crème Rinse to Bamboo Lemongrass Body Wash, Andaz Costa Rica Resort is the quintessential backdrop for our natural ingredients. Aligning with the country’s Pura Vida mantra, we believe guests at the Andaz deserve to know exactly what’s going on their skin. We work hard, using advanced resources and technology to create products that make people feel real. The country's pure and simple lifestyle is the essence of LATHER's approach to skincare, haircare and wellness.
