Rancho Pacifico

Tranquil, chic and completely at one with nature, the adult-exclusive Rancho Pacifico resort delivers on the Costa Rican promise of adventure and style in equal measure. On a private 250-acre nature preserve, perched serenely over the expansive Pacific Ocean, Rancho Pacifico offers an unprecedented level of service and incomparable luxury. Overlooking the fabled Whale's Tail and jungle canopy, the resort's five suites and five villas feature zen-like modern architecture, contemporary furnishings and natural gardens in an estate-like setting. A member of the prestigious Small Luxury Hotels of the World, Rancho Pacifico promises a one-of-a-kind Costa Rica experience with comfort, style and sincerity.

Each villa is a secluded haven nestled in the shade of the lush forest, with dramatic views of the sea and sky. Private decks, outdoor showers, Japanese soaking tubs and intimate plunge pools make for a unique paradise, where nature and nurture reign as one. Outdoor activities abound, ranging from the adventurous to the relaxing - swing through the rainforest canopy on a zip line, whitewater raft on the Rio Paquare, head to sea for sport fishing and snorkeling, or enjoy solitude and soft sand in a private beach cabana. Return to Rancho Pacifico for rejuvenating spa treatments at the aptly named Spa Tranquila, and delectable sunset dinners at the award-winning Whale's Tail Club. Surrounded by an exotic wilderness and miles of stunning beaches, Rancho Pacifico redefines relaxed luxury.
