Warm Winter Escapes: Why Costa Rica is Your Holiday Getaway

It’s that time of year when the temperatures drop, the snow starts falling (if you’re lucky), and the winter coats come out of hiding. But what if, instead of bundling up, you swapped it all for sunshine, palm trees, and a serious dose of pura vida? This holiday season, Costa Rica—and especially Los Altos de Eros Boutique Hotel & Spa—is calling your name.

Let’s break down why trading in the frost for tropical vibes might just be the best holiday decision you’ll ever make.

Buh-Bye, Winter Blues

Let’s get to the point: Costa Rica in December is magic. While you’re shivering through another gray day at home, here in Guanacaste, the summer season is just getting started. Think endless sunshine, clear blue skies, and temperatures that stay in the perfect range of hot and breezy.

At Los Altos de Eros, you’ll soak up those tropical rays from the infinity pool, surrounded by rolling green hills and a view that stretches for miles. Prefer the beach? Playa Tamarindo and Playa Avellanas are just a quick drive away, perfect for dipping your toes in the warm Pacific or watching the sun melt into the horizon.

Holidays, Costa Rican Style

Christmas in Costa Rica isn’t just about twinkly lights and festive trees—it’s a whole vibe. Imagine sipping on **rompope** (a creamy, eggnog-like drink) while locals dance and celebrate the season on the beach under a starry sky. Instead of stuffing stockings, Costa Rican families spend time making tamales from scratch, a tradition that’s all about love and connection.

Staying at Los Altos de Eros means you can tap into the holiday magic while still enjoying all the peace and quiet you crave. Join a local festival, take a cooking class, tap into some adventure or just kick back with a glass of wine on the terrace and soak it all in.

Your Home Away From Home (But You Are Completely Taken Care Of)

Forget crowded hotels and cookie-cutter resorts. At Los Altos de Eros, there are only six rooms, which means every detail is designed for a truly personalized experience. From the cozy, luxurious bedding to the stunning jungle views, this place feels like a private paradise.

Oh, and the spa? It’s *next level*. Picture open-air treatment rooms where you can hear the birds and feel the breeze while getting the most relaxing massage of your life. Add in some special holiday spa packages, and suddenly, all that holiday stress just melts away. Trust us—you’ve earned this.

For the Adventurous Souls

Relaxation is great, but maybe you’re someone who likes a little action on the itinerary, too. Costa Rica has you covered. Want to surf? The waves at Playa Tamarindo are world-class. Feeling a bit more daring? Try zip-lining through the jungle canopy or hiking the trails at Rincon de la Vieja National Park, where you’ll find bubbling hot springs, waterfalls, and even a dormant volcano.

The team at Los Altos de Eros knows all the best spots and can hook you up with the perfect adventures. Whether you’re horseback riding on the beach or snorkeling in the bluest waters, you’ll end every day with a story worth sharing.

Eat, Drink, and Be Merry

Foodies, rejoice—Costa Rica brings the flavor. At Los Altos de Eros, the dining experience is unforgettable. Every dish is crafted with fresh, local ingredients, and the holiday menus are full of surprises.

Imagine a Christmas dinner where fresh-caught seafood, tropical fruits, and Costa Rican-inspired desserts take center stage. Pair it with a custom cocktail (hello, tamarind margarita!) and a gorgeous open-air dining setup, and you’ve got a meal you’ll be dreaming about long after the holidays.

Time to Unplug (and Recharge)

Let’s be real—holidays can get *chaotic*. Between shopping, family gatherings, and non-stop to-do lists, it’s easy to lose sight of what this season is really about.

At Los Altos de Eros, there’s no pressure to do anything but *breathe*. Start your morning with yoga in the open-air palapa, take a leisurely hike through the surrounding jungle, or just lounge by the pool with a good book. With the natural beauty of Costa Rica as your backdrop, it’s impossible not to slow down and reconnect with what truly matters.

Sustainable, Soulful Travel

One of the best parts about Costa Rica? It’s a global leader in eco-tourism. Staying at Los Altos de Eros means you’re supporting a property that cares deeply about sustainability, from locally sourced ingredients to eco-conscious practices.

So, while you’re indulging in luxury, you’re also doing your part to protect the incredible beauty of this region. It’s a win-win.

There’s something magical about spending the holidays somewhere completely different. Maybe it’s the thrill of waking up to sunshine instead of snow. Maybe it’s the peacefulness of being surrounded by nature. Or maybe it’s just knowing that you’ve gifted yourself an experience instead of more “stuff.”

Whatever it is, Costa Rica—and Los Altos de Eros—delivers the kind of holiday memories you’ll treasure forever.

So, are you ready to ditch the cold and embrace the pura vida lifestyle? Book your stay now, and let’s make this holiday season one for the books. Sunshine, relaxation, and adventure await—you just need to say yes.
