Celebrating a Second Consecutive MICHELIN Key
For the second consecutive year, we have retained our One MICHELIN Key, a recognition that celebrates hotels offering a memorable stay through their design, sense of place, service and overall experience. Set within the 1,400-acre Peninsula Papagayo, Andaz is part of a destination where all three resorts hold MICHELIN Keys, with six Keys in total. All three resorts work together to provide a diverse dining community connected together through shared community amenities and experiences. We are proud to share this recognition as a reflection of the people, place and experiences that make Andaz part of the Peninsula Papagayo story.
Celebrate Gratitude: A Thanksgiving Week at Andaz
This Thanksgiving, step away from the usual routine and celebrate gratitude in a setting designed for connection, nature and Pura Vida. Throughout the week, gather with loved ones for a special meditation surrounded by nature on our nature-immersive yoga deck, share a family-style Thanksgiving dinner at Gaio, and come together at our Night of Gastronomy to discover the flavors of Andaz. With live music, family-friendly activities and moments made for sharing, Thanksgiving becomes more than a holiday—it becomes a week to slow down, reconnect and celebrate what matters most.
Connect with Nature: The Story Behind Our Biophilic Design
At Andaz Peninsula Papagayo, nature is more than the setting—it is part of the architecture. Designed by Costa Rican architect Ronald Zürcher, the resort draws inspiration from the shapes, textures and rhythms of the surrounding tropical forest, creating open spaces where modern design and the natural environment flow together. The curved forms of the main buildings echo an armadillo’s shell, while wood, stone, woven textures and abundant natural light bring the landscape indoors. From tropical forest views and visiting wildlife to river-inspired pools and natural stone details, every element invites you to experience a deeper connection with the natural world—a distinctly biophilic experience shaped by the landscape of Peninsula Papagayo.
