Guests enjoy full immersion in nature, with panoramic forest views, abundant wildlife, and an ecosystem that reflects both wild beauty and conservation stewardship. Lush trails within the property lead through the forest towards a spring-fed lake, offering moments of reflection and immersion in nature.

Architecture Alpine beauty in the forest
A blend of heritage and modernity, the building was originally constructed in 1985, but was expanded in 1991 and again in 2017, with new suites and a more contemporary design complementing the original architecture. An extensive use of natural wood, subdued earth tones, and large floor-to-ceiling windows bring in light and connect one directly with the forest.
Interior design NAAS Interior Culture
Each room is designed to feel serene, with warm earth tones and floor-to-ceiling windows opening to private balconies. The property draws from its Alpine chalet architecture while embracing Costa Rican craftsmanship and regenerative design. Natural woods, stone, hand-carved locally crafted furnishings, and organic fabrics are central, creating spaces that feel both timeless and deeply connected to place. Interiors have a midcentury-modern influence, drawing from tropical and mountainous elements to contextualize it.
