Looking over the famous Whale Tale of jungle and sand, guests at the Costa Rican Rancho Pacifico will have plenty of inspiration to get out and explore. Set on a 250-acre preserve, the hotel offers a direct commune with nature.
Five suites and five villas balance sharp, modern lines with a spiritual overall feeling, allowing visitors to slow down, and enjoy the multi-sensory experience of this jungle hideaway.
Adventure is on tap here: diving, canopy zip-trekking, nocturnal hikes, horseback riding, fishing, ATV rides, (Tired yet? No? Good), Spanish lessons, bird watching, surfing, and even more excuses to load up your camera are offered everyday.
After a relaxing rub down at Spa Tranquila, head to Whale Tail Club for a dinner made up of fresh-baked breads, organic produce, grass-fed meats, and seafood caught mere miles from your plate.
Now, with a full camera and a full belly, retreat to your air conditioned, mosquito-free room, and dream up new ways to experience Costa Rica tomorrow.
