Xandari Resort & Spa

Xandari Resort is an exclusive mountain hotel and resort located in the foothills of the mountains surrounding the Central Valley, just 30 minutes from the international airport. Set in the middle of a former working coffee plantation, this hotel is now surrounded by an oasis of lush gardens and native trees.

This unique hotel vibe comes from the owner’s Indian roots and the idea of the union of heaven and earth. You will be surrounded by bright colors, funky art, and pure natural sunlight while staying at this hotel, not to mention stunning views of the valley below. The terrace restaurant features delicious, healthy flavors, specializing in farm-to-table Costa Rican, Californian, and Mediterranean cuisine. The spa offers a variety of treatments that use natural ingredients to enhance rest. A sunset pool overlooks the valley below.

Guests can enjoy two heated lap pools, hot tubs, and a Jacuzzi at the spa. Yoga sessions are available in the studio as well. There are two artisan shops where you can browse for unique gifts and souvenirs. Around three miles/four km of trails wind through their 12-acre forested reserve, taking hikers to several natural waterfalls. Guided hikes and morning birdwatching tours are available at an additional cost.
