This adults-only boutique hotel, just outside of major city Liberia, combines eclectic luxuries with endless adventure. From the moment you enter the open-air lobby, you’ll be greeted with warm Costa Rican kindness and a tropical drink that will set the mood for your serene stay. The cliffside resort boasts 21 villas, each with a private saltwater plunge pool and breathtaking Pacific Ocean views. Though if you can pry yourself from your own pool, the infinity-edge public pool stuns with vistas of the pristine Guanacaste coast. You’ll want to linger here with a cocktail as the sun sets and the pool lights up with in-water fire pits. Meaning “the simple life,” pura vida is a local greeting that will embody your trip as you leave relaxed and recharged from the Zen of the Costa Rican jungle and the scenic property’s sumptuous amenities, from in-villa massages and facials to activities ranging from ziplining to horseback riding.
