Exquisite Escapes: Unveiling Central America’s Opulent Tropical Haven

Costa Rica offers a rare kind of luxury, the kind that’s quiet, personal, and entirely unforgettable.

Luxury in Costa Rica isn’t about gold taps or over-the-top extras, it’s about unforgettable settings, meaningful experiences, and seamless attention to detail. Think private villas tucked into jungle hillsides, infinity pools overlooking the Pacific, and open-air spas where hummingbirds flit through the trees. It's a place where nature and comfort sit side by side, beautifully balanced.

What we love about luxury travel in Costa Rica is how naturally it fits into the landscape. High-end doesn’t mean cut off from the environment, quite the opposite. Many of the best properties here are deeply rooted in sustainability, offering world-class service with a genuine sense of place. You’ll find boutique lodges that support local communities, rainforest retreats with expert wildlife guides, and beach resorts that feel completely remote, yet come with all the comforts you'd expect.

Whether it’s a private guided walk through the cloud forest, a helicopter ride over Arenal Volcano, or a sunset cruise along the Nicoya Peninsula, a luxury holiday here is all about experience. And the flexibility means it works just as well for couples seeking something special as it does for families looking to reconnect in style.

“Luxury in Costa Rica doesn’t mean losing the wild charm – it means coming back from a rainforest hike to a private plunge pool and sunset views. It’s stylish, seamless, and still full of soul.”

I have just returned from the most amazing trip to Tanzania, booked with Far & Wild. Everything went so smoothly from the first time I spoke with them. The planning was great, the itinerary was perfect for us, and the lodges were amazing. We spent 10 nights with an amazing guide, travelling through Northern Tanzania and even got to see the migration, which was a lifetime ambition of mine. This wasn't our first safari, so we were nervous as to how it would compare, but it was spot on. I will certainly be using them again to book our next trip....we're thinking of a relaxing beach stay next time to get over the excitement of safari!

Just back from another amazing F&W organised trip to Namibia with the family (8 adults). Having been there before, Alistair tailored our trip to include our favourite locations and added a new one for us, which we loved.The quality of accommodation and guiding, activities, food and drinks was exceptional throughout. It was good value for the level of luxury we had.

We had a wonderful trip to São Tomé and Príncipe - a small island nation in the Gulf of Guinea with paradise (almost empty) beaches and jungle forest. It was all well organised by Far and Wild and we stayed at a great combination of different types of resorts/hotels. We really recommend this for those who want to experience a pristine destination with few other tourists and friendly and welcoming people. The islands also feel very safe. At Principe, there are no dangerous animals, snakes or whatever, and it was great to be able to hike in the jungle without being very conscious of where to put your hands and feet. Go before everyone else does!

Back home again, basking in the joys of a superb safari. Every aspect you arranged for us, including linking up with Mack Air and Wild Horizons locally to transport us. The choice of camps was ideally situated, comfortable, in good surroundings, and with excellent wildlife on the doorstep and throughout the wider country. The service staff in each looked after us very well, catering was excellent, and the game guides were professional, knowledgeable and helpful. You made us happy, and we recommend you to similar safari enthusiasts with confidence.

Far and Wild went above and beyond to make sure my trip to Zambia was special. I would definitely recommend them and their services to anyone wanting to travel to Africa.

Lovely holiday at the amazing Almanara on Galu beach, a beach like no other. Far and Wild excelled themselves from beginning to end of our holiday in beautiful Kenya.... What a country!,

Wow! These guys are amazing. Can’t recommend them highly enough. Friendly AND efficient! Sorted out our trip (last minute and lots of different family member needs, sorry!) in record time and everything worked like clockwork. Trip of a lifetime to the Masai Mara. Will be back (and use F&W again!)!
