Arenas Del Mar Beachfront & Rainforest Resort
Arenas Del Mar Beachfront & Rainforest Resort isn't just a hotel; it's a statement of refined eco-luxury and conscious hospitality, sprawling over 11 acres of private nature reserve in Manuel Antonio. As you step into the elegantly designed lobby, your senses awaken to the tropical fragrance of lush flora and the sight of modern art pieces that echo the vibrant culture of Costa Rica. The first wow moment unfolds as the infinity pool comes into view, seemingly spilling into the sparkling blue of the Pacific, offering 360° vistas that captivate the soul. Each suite elegantly embodies a seamless blend of comfort and sophistication; spacious living areas with natural wood accents and plush fabrics create a welcoming ambiance. Dining at the Mirador Restaurant is an experience in itself, where inventive, gluten-free Costa Rican dishes are prepared with locally sourced ingredients, thanks to a sustainable partnership with "Dock to Dish." Whether it's enjoying the tranquility of your private terrace or relaxing at the nearby secluded beach-exclusively accessible from the resort-you'll find nothing short of paradise awaits.

With easy access to these attractions, this location is not only perfect for adventurers but also for those seeking a tranquil beachfront escape.
