Extended Holy Week Holiday in Costa Rica: Ten Consecutive Days of Rest in 2025
A unique opportunity for extended vacation coinciding with public holidays in April 2025.
Holy Week in 2025 will provide a remarkable chance for extended rest for thousands in Costa Rica, due to the overlap with a prior national holiday.
The holiday period will run from Sunday, April 13, to Sunday, April 20, 2025. Thanks to the national holiday on Friday, April 11, which commemorates the heroic acts of Juan Santamaría, many individuals will be able to start their break from that day.
April 11 is designated as a mandatory paid holiday under Article 148 of the Labor Code.
As this date falls on a Friday, it enables those who do not work weekends to begin their休息 earlier than usual.
The official public holidays during Holy Week will include Holy Thursday and Good Friday, which in 2025 occur on April 17 and April 18, respectively.
The inclusion of the holiday on April 11 creates a block of three paid holidays within the month.
For those who can coordinate their vacations with their employers, there is potential to enjoy a total of ten consecutive days off, starting from Friday, April 11, and concluding on Sunday, April 20, 2025.
