Tucked deep in Costa Rica’s sacred Diamante Valley, known as the land of waterfalls, this retreat feels like stepping into a jungle sanctuary. Birds call from the treetops. Bamboo structures rise from the earth like they grew there naturally. Water tumbles from six different waterfalls, with the tallest, Costa Rica’s iconic Diamante, visible right from the dining area. Set in a private 200-acre oasis, the retreat has natural swimming pools, jungle trails, waterfalls, and stunning 360 degree views of sweeping mountain vistas.
