Because the resort sits in the protected Gulf of Papagayo, its beach enjoys serene, swimmable waters ideal for paddleboarding, kayaking, or departing on chartered adventures aboard the resort's private boat fleet.
Unwind with indigenous forest therapies at Bearth Spa, where open-air cabanas blend healing botanical oils with the sound of coastal breezes.
