Why this package wins for nonprofits
Costa Rican Paradise taps into one of the most universal travel dreams: a private retreat in lush, tropical surroundings where a group of ten can unplug together. The draw here is clear — a secluded, upscale resort home in Costa Rica, surrounded by natural beauty, offers the kind of escape that bidders fantasize about but rarely claim for themselves. This package hits the sweet spot for charity auctions because it appeals equally to couples looking to reconnect and friend groups seeking a shared adventure. Your nonprofit bears zero risk: HGA handles all coordination through our white-glove travel team, and you only pay the reserve price of $34,950 if the package sells. Every dollar raised above that reserve flows directly to your mission. The consignment model means your team can confidently feature this as a marquee lot without tying up budget.
The experience your winner walks into
Winners arrive in Costa Rica ready to settle into their private resort home — a 6-night retreat designed for ten adults who want both comfort and seclusion. The resort home offers the kind of upscale privacy that resorts alone cannot match: your group has the whole property, the whole rhythm, without the shared lobby or dinner crowd. Days unfold around natural beauty and the pace each traveler chooses. Whether guests spend mornings on the grounds, venture into nearby attractions, or simply anchor themselves on the property depends entirely on their mood and energy. The private setting amplifies every moment — a sunset feels more intimate, a meal tastes better when it's shared in your own space, and the simple act of swimming or walking through the grounds carries the weight of genuine escape. This is the kind of trip where friendships deepen and families reconnect, because everyone has what they need without compromise.
What the winner receives
