After an adventurous and active day out in Costa Rica’s natural surroundings, it’s naturally lovely to unwind in the evening. After all, you’re on holiday. Fortunately, Costa Rica is also an excellent destination for relaxing amidst nature. After all, relaxing and enjoying life is part of everyday life for the Ticos (the local people).

For example, the Nicoya Peninsula in Guanacaste is one of the ‘blue zones’ where people live longer and healthier lives than anywhere else in the world. The calcium-rich water in this area, a healthy diet, family life and the ‘pura vida’ lifestyle are the secrets to a long life.

At the Tabacón Resort, you’ll experience a unique combination of the energy of the active Arenal volcano, the warmth of the Tabacón Hot Springs and the purity and mystique of the surrounding rainforest. Some travellers even refer to it as ‘a little paradise on earth’.

The area in the north of Costa Rica on the Pacific coast has always been a haven for travellers seeking peace and relaxation. The coastline stretches for almost 20 kilometres, divided into more than thirty different beaches, with sands ranging from grey to coral to black.

Situated at the very tip of the Nicoya Peninsula, the Nantipa Hotel is a hidden gem on the beautiful Pacific coast. Experience Costa Rican hospitality at this small-scale accommodation and enjoy the stunning surroundings.
