ALONG COSTA RICA’S northwestern coast, near Playa Tamarindo, Cala Luna Boutique Hotel & Villas offers an intimate getaway enveloped by tropical vegetation, pristine beaches and the blue Pacific.

Winding paths connect the 41 deluxe rooms and villas, each tucked amid silver palms and sweet hibiscus. Designed in rich tropical hardwood, all accommodations feature private patios, while the 21 luxury villas also come with extra spacious living areas, kitchens and private pools.

Thanks to its natural setting, the resort offers no shortage of activities, from surf lessons to deep-sea fishing to tropical forest canopy tours. Photo ops in this true wildlife-haven include giant leatherback turtles, howler monkeys and iguanas.

When hunger hits, guests can savor healthy specialties at La Caletta Lounge and an eclectic mix of gourmet dishes, including local cuisine from the Guanacaste province, at Cala Moresca.

Wedding couples tie the knot enveloped in tranquil beauty. Brides and grooms process down a soft path lined with torches, flowers and long, flowing ribbons—just a few of the special touches arranged for by Cala Luna’s wedding planner. A live trio and crashing surf provide background music for an unforgettable day.
