Back to San Jose

Renowned for its striking beaches, surfing fans and wild parties, this popular town offers an idyllic blend of natural beauty and get up and go vibes.

Picture yourself basking on stunning sands, while sipping on colourful cocktails at Jaco Beach, where the palm-fringed shore meets the sparkling turquoise waters, before ziplining through the lush rainforest canopy, riding the thrilling waves at Playa Hermosa, or an ATV tour to explore hidden gems like the incredible Bijagual Waterfall.

And when the sun sets, imagine getting ready to experience the nightlife capital of the Central Pacific, buzzing with energy. From beachfront lounges to vibrant discos and live music venues, you can dance, mingle and enjoy a party that never stops. Whether its spotting scarlet macaws and crocodiles or wave worshipping and horseback treks, followed by a night of casinos and dive bars, there’s plenty of fun in the sun to go round.
