STAY
Perched in the Talamanca foothills, Hacienda AltaGracia (3) has been drawing an ahead-of-thecurve crowd since it opened its doors last year. With heaps of earthy texture and walls hung with paintings by new Costa Rican artists, each casita is as cocooning as the next. Step outside onto the terrace and you’ll find a plunge pool (1) that’s ideal for sunset dips. Whether you’re here for the mountain views or Hacienda AltaGracia’s vast wellness space, you’ll have an unforgettable stay.
