Why December Holiday at The Point Are So Special
December in Tamarindo is pure magic. This is when Costa Rica enters its dry season, known locally as verano, bringing clear skies, golden light, and calm Pacific waters. Everything feels renewed, clean, and fresh, from the sea breeze to the tropical greenery still lush from the rains. Wildlife is active now, too, with humpback whales breaching offshore and sea turtles nesting on nearby beaches. Nature’s putting on a spectacular show, and it’s as if the whole town shifts into party mode to celebrate.
At The Point, the atmosphere is just as inviting. Our villa becomes a sanctuary for families and friends ready to reconnect, with space to breathe, ocean swims to start the day, and long dinners under the stars to end it. Whether you’re lounging poolside, enjoying a massage, or toasting the sunset, this is the kind of holiday that feels deeply restorative.

Local Festive Highlights to Enjoy
Beyond the villa, Tamarindo comes alive with joyful touches. You’ll see fairy lights twinkling in palm trees, hear school parades echoing through the streets, and smell the sizzle of beachside barbecues. Street vendors serve up tamales wrapped in banana leaves, and bakeries tempt you with Costa Rica’s own spiced fruitcake, queque navideño.
The week between Christmas and New Year is especially lively. Live music, salsa dancing on the sand, and fireworks over the bay are everyday occurrences. Families gather for bonfires, kids play barefoot under dolphin-shaped lights, and there’s a relaxed, celebratory energy you can feel everywhere you go.
The unique blend of peaceful villa comfort and the festive vibe of local life make this time of year so wonderful.

A Few Tips From Our Team
If you’re considering a holiday week in Tamarindo, here are some personal tips from our team and past guests:
- Travel light, book early – You won’t need more than swimsuits, sandals, and sunscreen but surf lessons, sunset cruises, and nature tours sell out quickly. Plan and book ahead.
- Make room for rest – Build in time for hammock naps, ocean dips, and midday snacks by the pool. The quiet moments are usually the ones everyone remembers, so fight the urge to cram your days with with 101 activities.
- Try something new – Looking for an activity that’s fun, local, and doesn’t take all day? The Tamarindo Scavenger Hunt, is a brilliant way to explore the area with kids (or just feel like one again).
- Let us help – We’re here to organize anything you need: from childcare and private yoga classes to romantic gestures, or something completely outside the box. Just say the word.
