Situated on the dramatic cliffside peninsula of Cacique on the secluded Playa Penca, the resort cascades down a 100 m cliffside, overlooking the sapphire blue waters of the Pacific Ocean. The resort’s design led by Mexico based design firm Sordo Madaleno Arquitectos fuses modern architecture and superior amenities with tropical surroundings, native flora, and fauna, connecting guests with the natural environment and enchanting them with expansive ocean and tropical forest views from every location, including 148 guest rooms and 40 suites.

The statement adds that the resort will feature six dining outlets, including a signature restaurant focused on the flavours of the Pacific which will delight guests with an immersive coastal dining experience, while the brand signature Peacock Alley Bar will celebrate the “Pura Vida” lifestyle of Costa Rica, offering locally inspired craft cocktails and light bites.
