Costa Rica Holidays

Ready to book your dream escape?

Stunning Costa Rica

Begging to be explored, Costa Rica is a haven for wildlife and the peaceful soul of Central America. If marketing experts could design the ideal destination, Costa Rica might be it.

I toured Costa Rica with my 12-year-old in October 2025, and it has shot to the top of my list as the BEST family holiday destination for active families who want adventure, wildlife, and beautiful beaches!

Adventure lovers will relish rainforest hikes and brisk high-altitude trails, rushing white-water rapids, and warm-water, world-class surfing. Costa Rica offers a dizzying array of outdoor adventures in every shape and size – from the squeal-inducing rush of a canopy zipline to a sun-dazed afternoon on the beach.

National parks allow visitors to glimpse life in both rainforest and cloud forest, simmering volcanoes provide otherworldly vistas, and reliable surf breaks cater to both beginners and experts alike.

We booked a half-term holiday in Corfu with Nicky at Globally Mine. From the initial meeting through to follow-up after returning, Nicky was professional, efficient and considerate. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Nicky & would book with her again. Many thanks!

A huge shout out to Elaine for putting together the perfect holiday! Everything went seamlessly. All our transfers were waiting. We were in safe hands with professional friendly drivers. The most fabulous hotels in perfect locations were exactly what we were looking for. The cruise was beyond our expectations. Nothing was too much trouble for Elaine. She always came straight back to me with any queries. For us, it was just so great to relax knowing everything had been taken care of. Highly recommend her.

Nicky was a wonderful help when we were totally overwhelmed with options (most unsuitable) she offered us limited, suitable suggestions which completely met our brief resulting in a holiday which was just what we wanted and perfect for us. With a friendly, personal touch with excellent communication and reassurance Nicky gave us full confidence and removed all the unknown. It's so great to know she was always there should anything crop up or not work out as planned (it didn't!!) We will definitely ask Nicky to help us in the future and would highly recommend. Thank you so much.

I’m so glad that we found Nicky - we asked her for recommendations for a resort holiday for 3 kids under 7 and she definitely delivered. We were getting so overwhelmed with our options and Nicky took all the stress away. The resort was perfect, Nicky arranged all the details and transfers for us so that all we needed to do was turn up.
Nicky was always available if we needed anything extra and her attention to detail was spot on.
I’m already thinking about where to go next and I will definitely be a return customer.

Recently returned from our first ski trip without our adult children. The trip was arranged by Nicky from Globally Mine, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From start to finish, Nicky's customer service was top-notch. She was attentive, responsive, and went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. The advice and personal touch she provided allowed us to pick a holiday that was exactly right for us. The trip itself was fantastic, with great accommodation and seamless logistics. This meant we could relax and enjoy ourselves safe in the knowledge that everything had been taken care of. I will definitely be using Nicky and Globally Mine for all my future holidays—they've earned a loyal customer in me!

Nicky really helped out with our family holiday in the Maldives. She found out exactly what we were after and the resort she sorted us out with was spot on. She was always on hand to answer any questions that I had before we went away. Great trip away would thoroughly recommend.
