10 Best Resorts in Costa Rica for Your Next Trip - AFAR

"A secluded cloud-forest reserve of roughly 500 acres on the slopes of an active volcano, featuring 16 spacious suites and villas with gas fireplaces, a gurgling creek, and views toward the volcano. The on-site spa offers open-air treatment bungalows, a yoga deck, and a signature Conical Room, with treatments that incorporate local ingredients such as chocolate massages, volcanic clay wraps, and fruit facials. Outdoor offerings include a private trail system to three waterfalls, horseback riding, mountain biking, an adventure park for ziplining and rappelling, and immersive cultural experiences—cooking and mixology classes, bird- and night-walking tours, coffee and wine tastings, tree planting, and traditional oxcart painting—while the restaurant and bar use produce from a large organic greenhouse, free-range eggs, and on-site trout ponds where guests can even catch their meal." - Devorah Lev-Tov
