Already celebrated as a top eco-adventure destination, Four Seasons Resort Costa Rica at Peninsula Papagayo offers a new, privately guided Nocturnal Golf experience that invites guests to embrace the pura vida lifestyle after dark. This unique under-the-stars offering is limited to small groups—no more than four players at a time—so visitors can enjoy an intimate practice session at the driving range, play select holes (including holes 1 and 9), and participate in guided nighttime wildlife viewing within the resort’s certified Audubon Sanctuary.
The resort’s Nocturnal Golf blends low-impact lighting, expert guidance, and attention to the local ecosystem to ensure an unforgettable evening that respects the natural surroundings. Players benefit from personalized instruction, safety briefings, and equipment adapted for night play, while naturalist guides highlight nocturnal species and habitats that are most active after sunset. The experience is ideal for couples, small groups of friends, or families with older children seeking a novel way to connect with Costa Rica’s biodiversity.
In addition to Nocturnal Golf, the resort presents a seasonal culinary and stargazing program called Taste the Stars. Running from November 14 through May, this immersive event pairs gourmet flavors with astronomy: guests can sample a curated menu of cocktails and desserts, some featuring a novelty ingredient—meteorite dust—used sparingly to create a memorable sensory element. The southern night sky is showcased through a high-powered GPS-guided telescope equipped with a connected camera, allowing guests to view celestial sights in real time and receive a photographed memento of the experience.
Taste the Stars is designed for travelers who want to combine fine dining and responsible adventure. The program includes a guided telescope session led by knowledgeable staff who point out planets, constellations, and deep-sky objects visible from the Papagayo Peninsula. By pairing culinary creativity with stargazing, the resort offers a multi-sensory evening that highlights Costa Rica’s dark-sky advantages and the resort’s commitment to sustainable, low-impact tourism.
Both offerings—Nocturnal Golf and Taste the Stars—reflect Four Seasons Resort Costa Rica’s focus on small-group, personalized activities that celebrate the region’s natural assets without compromising conservation goals. Whether you’re an avid golfer looking for a new challenge or a guest seeking an elegant night under the stars, these programs provide thoughtful, expertly led ways to experience Peninsula Papagayo after dusk.
Reservations are recommended due to limited availability, and guests are encouraged to check specific dates and seasonal schedules with the resort to plan their visit. With its combination of exclusive access, wildlife encounters, and stargazing paired with inspired cuisine, Four Seasons Resort Costa Rica continues to expand its offerings for travelers who value both adventure and refinement.
