Hacienda AltaGracia, Auberge Collection

Our Readers' Favorite Resorts in Central America of 2025

"Tucked into the verdant foothills of the Talamanca Mountains, this 50-casita hideaway centers stays on immersive adventure, cultural discovery, and restorative wellness across a sprawling 180-acre property that includes a coffee farm, horse stables, an organic culinary garden, and a holistic spa. Active offerings range from zip-lining through jungle canopy and climbing giant ficus trees to guided nocturnal wildlife excursions, while lower-adrenaline experiences include hands-on Tico baking classes, cocktail workshops, and visits to nearby family farms. The spa blends Central American wellness traditions with Eastern modalities like Reiki, and guests consistently describe their visits as deeply rejuvenating and worth traveling for." - Sarah Bruning Sarah Bruning Sarah Bruning is the special projects and surveys editor at Travel + Leisure, where she has been on staff since 2018.
