Four Seasons Resort Peninsula Papagayo is introducing a modern reflection of the coastal resort lifestyle with the addition of Virador Beach Club, a barefoot luxury escape; Wellness Shala to give a home to the resort’s expansive wellbeing offerings; transformation of Kids For All Seasons and Arnold Palmer Signature Golf course renovation focusing on sustainability.
The project is led by Peninsula Papagayo developers Mohari and Gencom; together with Four Seasons, they have envisioned a sense of quiet luxury. The resort will temporarily pause operations from August to October 2023. Guests can book their getaway on Peninsula Papagayo starting Nov. 1, 2023.
Virador Beach Club is a retreat away from the resort happenings with the effortless barefoot luxury of an Eastern Mediterranean beachside getaway. The outdoor spaces come to life with an oceanside eatery and lounge focused on Mediterranean flavors, while adults can expect to enjoy an infinity-edge pool and private cabanas.
Lead architect Jorge Borja of Grupo BV, based in Mexico and winner of the 2023 International Property Awards, Five Star Best Architecture, and a pioneer in creating masterpieces of coastal elegance using light natural materials to create organic beauty.
Mexico City-based fashion designer Kris Goyri was selected to design a limited-edition employee wardrobe. Goyri balances style and sensuality, displayed in intricate designs reflecting traditional and modern elements.
The ambiance is created with a curated soundtrack by Gray V, music design – soft house beats celebrating the bohemian spirit of the beach club during the day, while Latin and eclectic drum-forward beats will bring life to the evenings.
The Wellness Shala is a sacred space for guests to unlock harmony and align with nature. Inspired by the graceful flow and movements of the Guanacaste winds, Luis Alejandro Cuesta and Javier Creuheras, founders of Arquitectura Mixta, have conceptualized a one-of-a-kind architectural space. Cuesta and Creuheras focus on bio-architecture and work with local artisans
Nestled high on the hills at a comfortable distance from the resort, the Wellness Shala is designed for guests to reconnect and find inner peace. The Wellness Shala is a bridge between modern wellness practices and ancestral rituals where guests become immersed in experiences that align the body, mind, and soul to the rich elements of this land.
Inspired by the flora and fauna of the magical mangroves of Peninsula Papagayo, Kids For All Seasons will undergo a complete transformation led by Polyanna Paraskeva of Polyanna & Associates. The architect has created functional learning spaces exclusively for children throughout Europe and is making her Latin America debut with Four Seasons Resort Peninsula Papagayo.
Paraskeva’s designs feature low-lying platforms that children can crawl or walk on, imitating the root system of the mangroves surrounding the resort. She uses natural materials to mimic its lush and diverse ecosystems, furnishings are made from ecologically sustainable materials in bright colors that invite children to play and explore. Moveable, flexible walls create a fluid environment incorporating technology, arts, and science.
Known for its diverse wildlife, dramatic elevation changes and panoramic ocean vistas, the Ocean Course at Peninsula Papagayo is an Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary with sustainability at its forefront. The 18-hole, par-72 Arnold Palmer Signature course and driving range is concluding a renovation that includes a precision irrigation system that will reduce water usage by 20 percent.
Further improvements consist of more teeing area and 12 acres of native vegetation with less bunkering to improve playability and make the course more strategic and beautiful. Along with the course renovations, the Golf Pro and Tennis shop will provide a newly designed retail space and lounge area for golfers.
Four Seasons Resort Peninsula Papagayo has been Central America’s exclusive Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star resort for seven consecutive years. It is the utmost location for adventure travelers, wellness seekers, culinary explorers, and cultural globetrotters.
