COSTA RICA
→ December 13-18, 2026
The Destination
Welcome to Playa Grande, a slice of Costa Rican magic!
The surf is steady, the scenery is lush enough to make your houseplants jealous, and the vibes are so chill they’re basically horizontal. Keep an eye out while you’re soaking it all in — this place is bursting with wildlife!
Let ‘s ride the Pura Vida waves, amigas!
What's Included
Surf. Eat. Sleep. Repeat. (Ok, and lots more!!!)
The Accommodations
Your dream tropical home away from home!
Tucked into the lush beauty of Guanacaste, our surf house is all about sunshine, nature, and relaxed comfort — the perfect home base for salty adventures and happy days. Less than a two-minute stroll from a quiet, uncrowded surf break and stunning playa, our boho beach house features a lush private backyard with a huuuuge pool, a mix of private or shared rooms (including ocean-view options), plenty of inviting social and quiet spaces with reliable WiFi, and an intimate space that’s perfect for yoga or relaxing in the shade.

Of course! Come solo or with a friend or two or four. Most of our travelers come solo. Let us know when you are booking if you want to share a room with a specific person.
