Playa Buena Holidays

‘Paradise On Earth’...

Nestling quietly on the west coast of Costa Rica in the Gulf of Papagayo, 4km to the north west of Samara, Playa Buena holidays offer one of the best beaches in the area; sun-baked and tropical, with swaying palms, blue skies and even bluer water. The sound of the surf and the calling of the wild in the nearby jungle, transport you instantly to a sultry ‘paradise on earth’, as the locals like to call it. Speaking of locals, their infectious love of life and instant likeability will soon have you forgetting all about the world you left behind and relaxing into their happy go lucky way of life. All inclusive holidays to Playa Buena provide the ultimate in luxurious accommodation. Most hotels offer a choice of gourmet restaurants with succulent menus and soft drinks or tropical cocktails to order, plus, of course, entertainment packages and sports programmes for those who can lift their heads from their sun loungers for long enough to join in.

Get Up Close And Personal With The Local Wildlife…

If you do fancy exerting a little bit of energy on your holidays to Playa Buena then there are some extremely exciting excursions to look out for. A 4 x 4 jeep safari through the lush jungle terrain will see you meeting toucans, monkeys and iguanas amongst many other forms of tropical wildlife. The Palo Verde National Park gives the chance to take a riverboat ride along one of the longest rivers in Costa Rica where your guide will point out the local wildlife and you’ll get the chance to get up close and personal with American crocodiles and over 300 species of migrating birds.

For a really exhilarating experience on Playa Buena holidays then the Monteverde Skywalk is the perfect Costa Rican experience for you. The breathtaking views as you walk through the jungle treetops on canopy suspension bridges will stay with you forever. You’ll witness first hand one of the world’s most complex ecosystems from above and the hummingbird garden has over 14 species of this beautiful bird, the only one in the world to be able to fly backwards. You can also combine this trip with the ultimate water slide. 425m long, it will bring you back down to the jungle floor with a thrilling splash. As if this wasn’t breathtaking enough, for an excursion that will literally take your breath away then try Ziplining. Similar to the suspension bridges but this time you are attached to a zip wire and will hurtle through the treetops at great speed. Please resist the temptation to give your greatest Tarzan call as this may scare away the wildlife!

The Perfect Winter Destination…

Trips to the capital city of San Jose can be organised, but these usually involve an overnight stay due to the distance involved. If the beach is more your thing, then apart from simply chilling out on it all day, life is all about surfing, sailing and scuba diving. Cheap package holidays in Playa Buena are quite hard to come by due to the exotic location, stunning scenery, and fantastic opportunities on offer here. However the best time to look for them would be during our winter months, especially February and March when temperatures often hit 35°, there is minimal if any rainfall and you are spoilt by 8 hours of dazzling sunshine every day.
