Andaz Peninsula Papagayo Resort, Costa Rica
Cottages with curved roofs wrought from natural materials give this luxury resort, conveniently perched by some decent surf breaks, a good dose of Robinson Crusoe–style appeal. With rooms overlooking Culebra Bay here, pool time comes with killer views of the coastal mountains (start out with the family pool, but by day three, you'll probably want to take a dip in the adults-only waters). Rent a 4×4 to explore on your own or go through the concierge to visit nearby national parks such as Rincon de la Vieja, with its volcano views, boiling mud pools, and hot springs for dipping. Did we mention there's a kid's club?
