There’s nothing quite like Costa Rica luxury holidays: Your nearest and dearest, a favorite holiday, and new traditions beneath the golden sun, cerulean backdrops, and the sensation of sand between your toes. This is where your Costa Rica luxury vacation overlaps with paradise and where your next holiday becomes reality.
Whether you’re looking toward Thanksgiving and Christmas or plan to go tropical for your NYE fireworks, you should know that Costa Rica books early and solid for the holidays. Flights are more expensive. Accommodations are often reserved a year+ in advance. And the choicest activities, private chefs, and guides – well, they require plenty of advanced planning.
Our advice: Begin planning now. As in, today. Because the planning process can be long, especially when you’re traveling with a larger group. There are opinions and needs to balance, sleeping arrangements to consider. And when you put all that together with the challenges of holiday travel planning – well, again, we say advanced planning.
Our next tip: Start polling your group now. Because you’re here, we’ll assume that you’ve already decided that a Costa Rica luxury vacation is at least a contender. So now, it’s time to suggest a few vacation homes that could both accommodate your group and exceed their expectations.
And for that, we have a few suggestions! Even better, they all have some availability for holiday season 2023 – for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Year’s. And for ease of planning, we’ve listed them from minimum to maximum bedrooms:
Villa Morocco
Santa Teresa | 4 Beds | 4 Baths | 8 Guests
If there’s one thing that Villa Morocco can guarantee, it’s a spectacular sunset. We’re talking about the kind you write home about. The kind that you’d take ten-thousand photos of, if you could only tear your eyes away for long enough to focus the lens. The kind that live in paintings and amidst hyper-saturated memory. The kind you wait all year, all of a lifetime, to relish. The kind you finally find, on your Costa Rica luxury vacation.
Welcome to Villa Morocco, a spectacular, 5-star, beachfront villa located along the shores of Playa Santa Teresa. Just steps to one of Costa Rica’s most breathtaking white-sand beaches, this perfect villa is surrounded by tropical scenery and yet, your eyes will always travel back to the home’s romantic architecture: 4,700 square feet of spacious luxury with four master bedrooms, an outdoor living area, a private pool and pool pavilion, a cozy lounge area, and many more spaces to love.
