easily the mind untethers from one’s day-to-day existence. How quickly urban notions become lost in transparent waters.

To arrive at Peninsula Papagayo is to discover the most seductive corner of the globe, wrapped in a masterfully designed residential resort community. Whether private resident or hotel guest, enlightened pleasures will ultimately include world-class resort environments and soothing spas, pools that rate second only to the sea, sumptuous dining spots and open-air bars, exclusive tennis and beach clubs, a state-of-the-art marina, cultural programs and imaginative outdoor pursuits, even a waterfront village with shops and restaurants set into coastal cliffs.

Life in the jungle can be a very civilized existence.
