If 2020 was the year of staycations, then 2021 and 2022 are poised to be the years of vaxications: your first big post-COVID vacation, designed to shake off your confinement and become one of the most memorable trips of your life. It's okay to go big. We've been waiting a long time for this!
It's a growing trend (and one of the dictionary's newest words): By the time you get your first vaccination, you already know when the second one will be. And you also know that, 14-21 days after that second shot, you'll be go for travel. And so, you start eagerly planning and researching. You check your work schedule and vacation time. And then, you lay your plans for your vaxication (officially, a combination of vaccine and vacation).
The crown jewel of Tamarindo's luxury real estate and the height (literally) of tropical indulgence, Casa Puros Dieces ("pure tens" or figuratively, "straight 10s"!) is an eco-friendly, Balinese-style property offering immaculate tropical gardens, a koi pond, and stunning ocean views from almost every corner.
Built to take advantage of natural ventilation, Casa Puros Dieces is the kind of place where you fling open the windows and bask in the ocean breeze. In addition to an ocean-view infinity pool, jacuzzi, and expansive decking, the home is incredibly spacious, offering plenty of space for large families to find quiet and privacy.
Speaking of quiet spaces for virtual work and school, Casa Puros Dieces offers 100 Mbsp high-speed WiFi internet, battery backout (modem and router), and access to a portable wireless router, if required.
Designed as a bed-and-breakfast, this luxurious mansion is now perfectly adapted as a spacious vacation rental. Here, you'll have plenty of spaces for quality time together, and plenty of privacy for moments apart.
True to its name, Villa Tranquila – Spanish not only for serene but as an invitation to the tranquil vacation lifestyle that defines the atmosphere here – delivers an unparalleled experience that you'll intuit in every detail. Look to the spectacular double staircase or out to the scenic palm trees, out onto your private pool terrace and peaceful ocean views.
Villa Tranquila offers daily housekeeping and 100 Mbps high-speed WiFi internet, battery backout (modem and router), and access to a portable wireless router, upon request.
Perched high on a hill overlooking the width and breadth of Tamarindo Bay and downtown, Casa Leo Loco is the kind of home that steals your breath – and fulfills both wish lists and vacation dreams. Welcome to paradise!
The epitome of tropical luxuries – locally sourced hardwoods and walls of glass (with a view!), terracotta flooring and ocean breezes – this is the kind of place that makes you want to don a bathing suit, dip your toes into the multi-level infinity pool and private hot tub, and stay for a while. Or a forever.
Because here, howler monkeys swing through the trees and the exotic gardens are always in bloom, and the sun-drenched flagstone terrace plays witness to spectacular daily sunsets and their subsequent blanket of sparkling stars. And always, those spectacular panoramas – the windows, the terrace, the pool that overlook the ocean and hover so close to it all, you need only look out your window to check on the day's surf conditions.
vax·i·ca·tion vaccine noun: the first (and much-awaited) trip planned for when you'll be fully vaccinated.And with that in mind, we invite you to set your sights on a Costa Rica destination for your re-entrance to the world of travel. Here are 4 reasons why you should start planning now:
Reason #1: Flights Are Plentiful (but prices are going up)
Post-COVID flying can pose the biggest challenge for some people. After a year spent keeping our distance from others, sitting next to strangers on a plane – well, we're out of practice! You'll be happy to know that most airlines are following strict and plentiful protocols – yes, still, even as vaccination rates grow – and most experts agree that plane travel is fairly safe. What's more, many major cities throughout the U.S., Canada, and Europe offer direct flights to Costa Rica destination cities, so you can minimize the time you spend traveling. That said, as demand grows – and it's growing, as more people get vaccinated and prepare to travel again for pleasure – prices are also on the rise. Our advice: Lock in your airfare now, while prices are still reduced. Not 100% sure you'll travel? Buy a refundable fare or purchase travel insurance.Reason #2: Early Bird Discounts (select Costa Rica destination vacation rentals)

You choose where to enjoy it!Reason to Book #2: A Private Infinity Pool & Jacuzzi
We can think of almost nothing better than the infinity pool and bubbling hot tub at Casa Puros Dieces. Unless it's the infinity pool and bubbling hot tub at sunset. Or under a blanket of stars. Or early on a quiet morning. Or beneath the warm afternoon sun. Or... Okay, okay. We love the infinity pool and bubbling hot tub. And we think you will, too!Reason to Book #3: Close to Town (But Not Too Close)
In Tamarindo, there's this perfect-but-hard-to-find balance: close enough to the action that you can enjoy it, whenever you please, but far enough that you feel hidden away in your own private wonderland. Casa Puros Dieces manages to achieve this balance, perfectly. Just a few minutes to downtown's dining, activities, and shopping, its breezy position high in the hills puts you a world away from the touristed hustle and bustle.Reason #3: Costa Rica is One of the World's Easy Countries for Travel

One of the biggest drivers for vaxications is not just where you go, but who you go with. This trip promises to carry significant sentimental value, especially if it's been many months since you've seen your nearest and dearest. Even more so, for young families and grandparents: A year+ apart has been hard on everyone. Costa Rica destination trips are particularly popular with multigenerational families and family reunion groups, as this is the kind of place where everyone's not only happy but overjoyed. Let the kids splash in the pool with the grandparents. Schedule an afternoon of snorkeling and sunsets. Make forever memories when you all go zip-lining in the jungle. Take a long hike to hidden waterfalls or secluded beaches. Let everyone choose a favorite and together, enjoy every one.Spotlight on: Casa Leo Loco
