Location
Playa Grande, Costa Rica

Set a short walk from Playa Grande, one of Costa Rica’s most important leatherback sea turtle nesting beaches, this hotel is organized around open-air gathering spaces, a sun terrace and three outdoor swimming pools. The treetop-level restaurant offers panoramic ocean views, while wellness offerings—from yoga to massages—are grounded in the Blue Zone lifestyle of balance and longevity.

Guest rooms are individually decorated with tropical accents, wood furniture and thatched roofs, and feature one or two queen beds. Each includes air conditioning, ceiling fans, Wi-Fi, a coffee maker, an in-room safe and a private bathroom with shower.

Upstairs at the RipJack Inn serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, featuring local seafood such as fish tacos and poke bowls, along with bocas (traditional Costa Rican small plates) and sunset cocktails. Guests can browse the hotel’s library, get a massage at the spa and rent surfboards or bikes.

The property supports low-impact travel through features such as purified water stations, a no-straw policy and a gift shop offering reef-safe sunscreen and other eco-conscious products.
