Florblanca, Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica - Explore & Book
"Beautiful Florblanca is secluded in jungly gardens beside a pristine beach - with wild surf, white sands and overhanging palms. Choose a modern comfortable villa, a rustic Surf House or the gorgeous Honeymoon House - most are spacious and airy, with sumptuous cream bedrooms. Wallow in a leaf-shaped bath by candlelight under palm trees in your outdoor bathroom. Sip cocktails by the free-form pool, practice some yoga or laze in a hammock by the beach. Hip young staff whisk up gastronomic delights; the yellow-fin tuna for your sashimi was caught just hours ago. This is a very chic retreat indeed. You have the ocean on your doorstep, bird ballad and monkey chatter to wake you, that shapely pool, and yoga, pilates and creative cuisine. If you're not surfing the waves then bliss out in the spa, romantically perched above rushing water.
