Looking to set up a Costa Rica vacation itinerary but you’re overwhelmed at all the options? The dedicated staff at Casa Teresa luxury villa has all the knowledge and resources you need to make your trip one to remember. 

For this guide, we’ve separated our ideas into short term or long term, and by the kinds of experiences you’re looking for. 

A short term stay would be about a week or ten days of a tailor made vacation like none other. Because both Casa Teresa and Casa Teresa Grande are fully furnished villas with world-class amenities, many guests relish the opportunity for long-term stays of at least two weeks, and ideally for a month or longer. It’s also worth noting that Costa Rica is especially accommodating to travelers, with generous tourist visa lengths, world class hospitality, and high levels of English proficiency. Let these Costa Rica travel itinerary ideas become your inspiration to plan the trip of your dreams with service and amenities to match.

Peace of Mind, and What to Keep in Mind

• Your villa is gated and private security is available. While Santa Teresa is very safe, we want your stay to be nothing but memorable in the best ways!
• You can get here either by commercial flight, private jet, or for the ultimate Costa Rica by air experience, by helicopter! Once you arrive, the private beach is your back door and Santa Teresa is only half a mile away.
• When it comes to what to pack and what to leave back home, browse some of the packing guides we’ve curated, especially if any of your Costa Rica vacation itinerary includes taking advantage of Costa Rica’s great outdoors.
• The most popular travel season is between July and August, and for good reason: this is when you are most likely to get the most radiant weather the Nicoya Peninsula is known for. However, you’ll never need to notice when booking your stay with Casa Teresa means getting an exclusive villa to yourself!
• The rainy season is from mid-September to mid December and is an incredible time for seeing wildlife at its most active. We have many recommendations there, too! The winter months are still idyllic, just a few degrees cooler. In fact, why not create a holiday travel itinerary in Costa Rica?
• For many protected national parks in Costa Rica, we recommend booking a guided tour well in advance. Many sensitive biomes with endangered species are inaccessible without a guide. Because Costa Rica is in popular demand, including as a top eco-luxury travel destination, booking with Casa Teresa means you will not only hire one of these guides for a private experience, but our concierge will ensure they will be the most knowledgeable, discreet, and accommodating.

For The Adventure Seeker

Is high-thrill adventure seeking your style? If so, Costa Rica has many delights in store for you. Nature lovers and adventure tourists flock to Central America for everything from water sports to skydiving. It’s one of the best places in the world to have a one-of-a-kind adventure!

Short term ideas:

• Make sure you go on a zipline canopy tour! You absolutely must try a canopy tour if you’re in Costa Rica. Soaring above the forest only takes a few hours on average, but it’s an experience you’ll never forget. 
• Explore with an ATV or boat rental. We recommend hiring an experienced guide to point out some otherwise hidden gems along the way either by land or sea.
• Go surfing! Or if you’re a beginner, learn the basics with private classes. 
• Live it up with abundant nightlife, including Costa Rica’s famed jungle parties. Take in Santa Teresa’s amazing restaurants, along with the must-try cocktails!
• Swimming or hiking around rainforest waterfalls is essential for any adventure seeker’s Costa Rica vacation itinerary. Montezuma Falls is a 40-minute drive from Casa Teresa Luxury Villa, and you can usually swim at the bottom of the falls!
• Go snorkeling. You can add this to your Costa Rica travel itinerary any time, any day, and you can discover the beauty of the sea right in your backyard at Casa Teresa! 

Long term ideas:

• Go on a multi-day hiking or camping excursion! There are too many hiking opportunities in this beautiful country to count. From volcanoes to rainforest paradises to remote off-coast peninsulas and islands, Costa Rica is a hiker’s dream. 
• Join a surfing school. Sure, you can take classes for a day or so, but the best way to actually learn how to surf is to take long-term classes over a month at least. Santa Teresa is famous for long-term surfers, and the variety of surf beaches makes it excellent for any skill level.
• Similarly, this is where you can work with our concierge service for other lessons and long-term experiences to deepen your love of the Nicoya Peninsula, including in art, traditional craftwork, dance, or other cultural experiences. 
• Go on a helicopter or private plane tour. With our concierge services, you can arrange virtually any tour in any vehicle. We can plan your tour at any point in your Costa Rica vacation itinerary.

Long term ideas:

• Add an extended yoga and meditation retreat to your Costa Rica vacation itinerary, as the best way to reap the body and mind benefits of yoga and meditation is by long-term practice. Learn to clear your head and develop calming habits you’ll take with you the rest of your life.
• This is where you can really immerse yourself in the beauty of Costa Rica’s quintessential Pura Vida culture, and you might even be starting to pick up some of the local lingo! Because you have a fully provisioned kitchen at your disposal, you can learn how to create Costa Rican delicacies using only the freshest, local and organic ingredients. Ask our concierge service about how to learn authentic Costa Rican cooking methods, including by booking a private chef to turn meal creations into a centerpiece of your tailor made vacation. 
• Take even greater advantage of your personal full gym, dedicated lap pool, and steam rooms by hiring a personal trainer, whether to keep up a healthy habit or build a better-yet you.
• Go on a multi-day wildlife excursion. Costa Rica is one of the most biodiverse places in the world, and nature is incredibly healing to your body and mind.
