St. Regis Hotels & Resorts has begun construction on its first property in Costa Rica, with the St. Regis Papagayo Resort set to open in early 2027. The resort will be located on over a quarter mile of beachfront in the Guanacaste province along Costa Rica's Pacific coast.
Alberto Halabe, a partner at Solana, the developer for the project, stated, "This groundbreaking represents the beginning of an unparalleled luxury experience in Costa Rica. The Gulf of Papagayo offers an extraordinary natural setting, and bringing the iconic St. Regis brand here allows us to create a destination that celebrates the essence of Pura Vida through exceptional design, hospitality, and service."
The new resort will feature 120 rooms and suites with ocean views and minimalist design. Amenities include an on-site library, several infinity pools, a spa inspired by nature, and six dining venues such as The Cliff—a Japanese-Costa Rican fusion restaurant—and the signature St. Regis Bar and Speakeasy.
