Cala Luna Boutique Hotel & Villas

Cala Luna Boutique Hotel & Villas is set on the beach, a 15-minute walk from the fishing hamlet of Tamarindo.

Designed by an acclaimed architect and built using indigenous hardwoods sourced from Costa Rica, the hotel features a plein air setting created by the natural wood columns and suspended palapa roofs. Ranging from one-bedroom deluxe rooms to large villas with private plunge pools, the stylish accommodation offers unique beach-inspired decor with a palette that reflects the beauty of the hotel’s surroundings, using neutral cream tones and dark wood furniture.

Enjoy the bar and lounge, which serves refreshing cocktails, the large outdoor swimming pool, and the massage services in the outdoor bungalow, before heading to dinner at the Cala restaurant, where you can sample international cuisine with Costa Rican flavours creatively conjured from the freshest locally-grown produce.

For a truly romantic evening with breathtaking views, enjoy a four-course dinner on the beach. After tucking into ceviche in coconut shells and drinking fantastic organic wines, finish the evening with a heavenly crème brûlée.

Whether your definition of luxury means soaking up the warm sunshine from a poolside chair, walking along a quiet white sandy beach, or sipping cocktails under the stars, this hotel has it all. Watch the sunrise during your morning yoga class, and after a day exploring your beautiful surroundings, take a well-deserved break by the pool, surrounded by the region's exotic wildlife.

Have your fill of excitement learning to surf, or go deep-sea fishing to catch a blue marlin. Other adrenaline-fuelled activities include ziplining through the rainforest canopy, horse riding through the hills and kayaking to Captain Island, spotting tropical water birds and iguanas.
