Hacienda Alta Gracia
Nature Meets Luxury at Alta Gracia Resort in Costa Rica
Earlier this year, I had the incredible opportunity to experience Hacienda Alta Gracia located in the beautiful mountains of Pérez Zeledón in southern Costa Rica. It was 3 glorious days and nights of adventure, relaxation, spa treatments, gourmet cuisine & the magical pure vida spirit of the local Costa Rican people. It was HEAVEN!
It’s an Auberge resort, so you already know it’s going to be beyond, but it truly exceded all of my expectations. Alta Gracia offers the best of both worlds: the comfort and luxury of a world-class resort, combined with the awe-inspiring natural beauty of Costa Rica. We dined on locally grown coffee & gourmet cuisine, after returning from a morning hike or horseback ride. Spent afternoons indulging in treatments and the purifying clay ritual at the Casa de Aqua at THE WELL spa. Gorgeous dinners in the Garden or room service in the private heated plunge pool under the stars - take me back!!
The casitas at Alta Gracia are designed to immerse guests in the stunning landscape. They’ve planted more than 7,000 coffee plants on the property which is just one their many sustainability efforts.
The resort's 50 casitas are designed to provide guests with the ultimate in comfort and relaxation. Each of the casitas and suites features beautiful local artwork, luxurious bedding, and modern amenities such as high-speed internet, flat-screen TVs, and air conditioning. The suites also have private balconies or terraces with stunning views of the surrounding countryside.
Two of the highlights of the trip were The River Bath (with an aura cleansing!) & a cultural tour to visit local makers in the area. The pura vida spirit of the people is so strong, they are so warm and welcoming. The resort provides all guests with their own team of ‘Compas’ (personal concierge) who are at your service day & night making your stay perfection.
Overall, Hacienda Alta Gracia offers an unparalleled luxury experience in one of the most beautiful and peaceful settings in Costa Rica. Its world-class spa offers a range of treatments inspired by local traditions and ingredients. The resort's dining options are equally impressive, with two restaurants serving gourmet cuisine made from locally-sourced ingredients.
All of the their offerings are designed to promote relaxation and rejuvenation.
Touching down on the private tarmac at Alta Gracia resort after a scenic flight on a charter plane is a luxurious and unforgettable way to begin your stay. The staff greets you upon arrival with a welcome gift, and from there you’re swept away in the vintage Landrover to begin your adventure.
They have an amazing offer this summer - All domestic round trip charter flights between SJO and the property will be complimentary for all guests staying at the resort between May 1 - September 18, 2023! This is quite the savings as shared charters seats start at $375.00 per passenger, per way. Reach out to me for rates and let’s check this one off your bucket list!
~ Pura vida!
