Arenas del Mar

Tropical elegance suspended between sky and sea

Overlooking the Pacific Ocean in the heart of a private reserve of about 4 hectares, Arenas del Mar is a rare sanctuary where the rainforest meets two wild beaches with direct access from the hotel. The 37 rooms and suites, all featuring private terraces with spectacular views, are spread between the canopy and the sea; some suites even offer a suspended outdoor jacuzzi facing the open ocean. The restaurant Mirador stages fine dining against the horizon while Playitas, with your feet in the sand, offers a welcoming and creative atmosphere. The Las Brisas spa, two swimming pools including an infinity pool, and the presence of naturalist guides shape a stay where comfort and nature become one.

THE EXTRAORDINARY

Arenas del Mar offers one of the most striking panoramas in Manuel Antonio: the forest appears to stretch right down to the waves, and the suspended terraces reveal a vibrant landscape where sloths, monkeys and tropical birds parade by. The property's two unspoiled beaches, accessible on foot, invite both relaxation and discovery, while the immediate proximity of the national park makes it possible to go in just a few minutes from the hotel's understated luxury to the region's most iconic trails.

ETHICS

At Arenas del Mar, sustainability is second nature: the establishment has banned single-use plastic, replacing bottles with reusable flasks and straws with compostable bamboo. The on-site hydroponic kitchen garden supplies the kitchens with local vegetables while conserving water. Finally, as a member of the Cayuga Collection, the hotel holds the “5-leaf” sustainability certification from the Costa Rican Tourism Board and adopts advanced practices (water management, energy saving), bearing witness to a deep commitment to preserving its natural environment.
