The Pure Life of Luxury in Costa Rica

Life is everywhere in Costa Rica. Home to some 500,000 species (that's more than 5% of the world's biodiversity), it's no wonder the island's motto is "Pura Vida," or "Pure Life."

And that life doesn't wait on you in Costa Rica. You're thrown straight into a jungle thick enough to lose yourself in. Some of the best luxury resorts and hotels in Costa Rica include eco-luxury villas open to the jungle with outdoor showers that make you feel one with nature, and staff who know the terrain like the back of their hand. After all, you don't want to get lost in the enchanting cloud forests. There's too much adventure to be had.

One morning, you're enjoying an exclusive gourmet coffee tasting then zip lining through a canopy of trees; the next, you're soaking in volcanic hot springs or sunning on a private beach. Or maybe you're soaring above Arenal Volcano in a helicopter or drifting through the Gulf of Papagayo on a yacht. And when you're all natured out, you head inland to the capital of San José for fine dining and upscale shopping in Avenida Escazú.

That's Costa Rica for you: everything you ever wanted. You came for the pure life, and you got it.
