Language immersion vacations can include homestays and hangouts outside of class—and, best of all, they can take place on the beach in Costa Rica. Language school Intercultura offers a variety of Spanish programs for all ages and skill levels (both group and private lessons), which take place in either Heredia City or the school's waterfront campus in Samara Beach. Price: From $235 per week for classes, $195 per week for homestay immersionWhen to go: All year except for Costa Rican national holidaysHow to book: interculturacostarica.comTap the experts: Pierre Gedeon (Costa Adventures)" - Caitlin Morton
