Enjoy a luxurious stay at this beachfront hotel whilst nestled into a beautiful nature reserve
This luxurious hotel in Costa Rica stands side-by-side with the country’s wildlife, housing its 11-acre private nature reserve, and celebrating its proximity to the Manuel Antonio National Park. Friendly naturalists offer you a guiding hand in observing the rich biodiversity which flourishes within Arenas Del Mar Resort, as sloths amble and monkeys meander through the thick foliage covering its private bio-reserve. Intimate encounters with wildlife are always one step away, as an intentional oneness with nature defines this Costa Rica resort and its’ vast open space and luscious greenery. A rich bird population is welcomed by ample exotic flora, specially selected to attract a diverse range of species – 180 to be exact - so that you can sip your Cosmo right beside a toucan!
Arenas Del Mar offers direct access to two stunning beaches, equipping your stay with even more variety. Sink your toes into the white sands of the cozy Playa Playitas, where a peaceful sense of privacy washes over you as you gaze ahead at the glistening Pacific. If you wish for a more action-packed day, Playa Espadilla, being Manuel Antonio’s most popular seashore, offers spectacular conditions for surfing and other high-energy water sports. For more aquatic beauty, opt for the resort’s specialist hike to Nauyaca Waterfall, where you can swim in the cooling Naucaya waters. However you choose to spend your time at this Costa Rica resort, the enchanting allure of natural beauty tingles your senses.
