From the lush slopes of Arenal Volcano to the chic coastal enclave of Las Catalinas, this ultra-luxury JE Escapes journey blends rainforest adventure, volcanic hot springs, and secluded ocean-view villas. Hike to hidden waterfalls, zip-line through the jungle, sail into fiery sunsets, and unwind in handpicked properties featuring private plunge pools and unforgettable views.
Your JE Escapes journey begins the moment you land at San José International Airport (SJO). A personal concierge greets you before immigration, assists with your entry, and escorts you to your private driver. Settle into a comfortable luxury vehicle for the scenic three-hour drive to Arenal, passing rolling coffee plantations, tropical landscapes, and glimpses of the majestic volcano ahead. Arrive at Nayara Tent Camp, where your luxury tented villa with private hot spring plunge pool awaits. Toast your arrival with a welcome cocktail as the sun sets behind the volcano.
Wake to the sound of tropical birds and enjoy breakfast with volcano views. Today’s adventure takes you to the 210-foot La Fortuna Waterfall, where you’ll descend 600 steps to a breathtaking jungle oasis. Swim in the cool, crystal-clear pool beneath the falls before heading to Finca Vida Campesina, a family-owned farm, for an authentic Costa Rican lunch made from fresh, local ingredients. Return to your villa for a serene afternoon — perhaps unwind in your plunge pool or book an optional spa treatment.
Get your adrenaline pumping with a zip-line experience over the lush rainforest and Arenal River Canyon. Glide across nine thrilling cables and ten platforms with panoramic volcano and jungle views. Wildlife sightings are common — look for monkeys, toucans, and hummingbirds. Adventurers can add a 50-meter rappel for an extra thrill. Enjoy the rest of the afternoon at leisure, soaking in your private hot springs pool or exploring the resort’s tropical trails.
Spend a slow morning in paradise — sip coffee on your terrace, join a complimentary yoga class, or take a guided birdwatching walk. Late morning, your private driver will take you on a scenic four-hour journey to Costa Rica’s Pacific coast. Arrive at Casa Chameleon at Las Catalinas, an adults-only luxury retreat where every villa boasts a private saltwater plunge pool and sweeping ocean views. As evening falls, savor a gourmet coastal dinner at the hotel’s open-air restaurant.
Today is yours to indulge as you wish. Relax beside your infinity pool, stroll to Playa Danta, or explore the charming, car-free streets of Las Catalinas. Guests can also enjoy hiking, biking, or water sports just steps from the resort. For the ultimate treat, book a private in-villa massage overlooking the Pacific.
In the late afternoon, board the luxurious Panache Catamaran for a magical Gold Coast sunset sail. Sip tropical cocktails as you cruise past hidden coves and golden beaches. Stop for snorkeling and kayaking in crystal-clear waters, spotting colorful fish and maybe even sea turtles. As you sail back, watch the sky turn fiery orange and pink while enjoying freshly prepared gourmet snacks on deck.
Your final full day is all about embracing the coastal lifestyle. Spend it lounging in your private plunge pool, swimming in the ocean, or setting out on an optional excursion — perhaps sport fishing, paddleboarding, or a day trip to a nearby national park. In the evening, toast your unforgettable week with a romantic candlelit dinner under the stars.
Enjoy a final breakfast with sweeping ocean views before your private transfer to Daniel Oduber International Airport (LIR) for your onward journey.
