family Holidays in Costa Rica

Please find below a selection of our favourite properties in Costa Rico  that we believe are perfect for families. For more information about Costa Rico and the full collection of properties we recommend click here.

Sitting at the heart of Central America, Costa Rica stretches from the calm waters of the Caribbean to the exhilarating waves of the Pacific. It is a peaceful and beautiful country with a population keen to keep it that way. The people, known as Ticos, take great pride in pointing out to visitors they have enjoyed more than 100 years of democracy and have no army. This peaceful regime seems to have extended to the land, for Costa Rica has one of the most enlightened conservation policies in the area, taking great care to look after its natural treasures, whether it is the volcanoes and rainforests or sea turtles and sloths.

A Costa Rica holiday with Abercrombie & Kent is the best way to get under the skin of this fascinating country, with privileged access to the people and places that make it special.
