December: Costa Rica
The stunning beaches of Costa Rica are the perfect destination to finish off the year, with secluded stretches of sand, incredible wildlife, and watersports ranging from surfing to snorkeling to kayaking, all with sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean.
It’s no wonder that so many retirees choose this beach vacation as a permanent home! We suggest staying at the Santarena Hotel.
It’s nestled in the quiet, vehicle-free community of Las Catalinas, a beach town along the shores of the Pacific Ocean in the Guanacaste Province. You’ll find a tropical oasis here, complete with a bohemian but Cosmopolitan feel.
The Santarena Hotel has 45 rooms that include sweeping views of the coast (camera not included).
Las Catalinas and Santarena are just a few steps away from Playa Dante, one of Guanacaste’s most sought-after beaches, popular for swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding, and snorkeling.
These are obviously just a few of the amazing beach vacations we found in the world. So if you know of any others and wish to share them with us, please don’t hesitate to leave us a comment in the section below!
