We interviewed Arnaud Dieutegard, Senior Spa Director at Four Seasons Resort Peninsula Papagayo, Costa Rica, to learn more about treatments to try, insider tips, and more.

Why You’ll Love It: The sense of place that connects our local culture with the modern touch in every experience.

Key Features: We offer three relaxation lounges, state-of-the-art two-level fitness center by Technogym, a hot and cold plunge pool, a steam room for men and women, the most unique Turkish hammam in Central America, and our Wellness Shala that offers wellness classes all day long—from cacao ceremonies to yoga Nidra and Movement classes.

Insider’s Tip: Meet our team every morning at the Wellness Shala to enjoy the sunrise—it’s is the best location on the all peninsula.

Bonus: We offer a Senses wake up ceremony at the end of your service; I don’t want to share to much as it is a surprise effect.

Snacks Served: We offer an array of infused water, electrolytes, local blended tea, coffee, Aqua de Sapo (a local drink made with lime and ginger), diverse nuts and fruit, and our daily wellness Mindful Keto Cheesecake with shiitake mushrooms, Mental Clarity Brownies with Lion’s Mane, Cacao Energy Balls with Cordyceps, and Immune System Boost Macarons with On Guard essential oil.

Splurge Treatment: I certainly recommend our VIP couples suite with beach views that offers a private hydro jet bath and dry sauna—you can enjoy any service and finish with a nice glass of champagne.

Favorite Treatment: My personal favorite is our 3flow activation, a unique experience working on three main flows of your body to deeply relax and promote a feeling of well-being. During this experience, our therapist will activate and unlock the energetic flow with the application of gemstones on your chakra followed by craniosacral relieving tension in your nervous system, finishing with lymphatic drainage that will support detox and deep relaxation. ​

Unique Treatment: Our Tsuru Ritual. This total-body sensorial experience activates and stimulates endorphins, providing you with pure bliss. Your ritual starts with a full-body exfoliation, stimulating blood circulation and preparing your body to be lathered in pure cacao, then you’re covered in banana leaves wrap. Your skin will absorb the enriching properties of these Indigenous crops.

While you marinate in pure cacao during the wrap, the therapist will begin a scalp and neck massage focused on stress-relief trigger points. Organic coconut oil will nourish your hair before finishing with a relaxing and detoxifying massage using cacao butter. Once your treatment is complete, you will be presented with a pure Costa Rican Cacao degustation, offering you a unique connection with the land.

Featured Products: Biologique Recherche, ISun skincare, Knesko, and other local product lines.
