One of the original and most lauded of Costa Rican eco-resorts, the intimate Hotel Punta Islita is tucked into a hillside leading down to a lovely crescent beach along the vibrant Nicoya Peninsula in Guanacaste. Its 23 bungalows and thatched-roof villas, furnished by local craftspeople and punctuated by private plunge pools and inviting hammocks, are scattered in tiers overlooking the beach and the Pacific Ocean and surrounded by lush tropical foliage. The resort's quiet luxury and secluded natural beauty make it an ideal choice for a romantic getaway, honeymoon or eco-wedding, while the rugged landscape holds endless appeals for adventure travelers.

At sea level, the Borrancho Beach Club beckons guests to swim and sun by the pool or in the ocean waves. At its crest, the acclaimed Restaurant 1492 serves sophisticated tropical delights by an infinity-edge pool affording panoramic views. The Casa Spa offers holistic treatments inspired by local herbalist wisdom. And beyond, an unending array of adventures await the active traveler, from zip-line tours through the rainforest canopy to mangrove and river kayaking, golf on Punta Islita’s eco-conscious nine-hole course, and guided hikes.

Through its unyielding commitment to Responsible Tourism, and its establishment of the Islita Open-Air Contemporary Art Museum, Hotel Punta Islita has transformed its surrounding communities, once exploited by ranching and reckless agricultural practices, into thriving centers of micro-entrepreneurship and the arts. A complimentary cultural tour educates guests on the local ecology and the rich culture of the Guanacaste Province, with its pre-Columbian Chorotega and Spanish influences, as well as Punta Islita’s preservation efforts.
