XO Private - The Luxury Travel Collection
The finest online directory for the discerning traveller

Imagine a tropical getaway that offers sublime luxury in a spectacularly exotic locale. Situated near Quepos on the Central Pacific coast of Costa Rica, Gaia Hotel & Reserve sits on a vast tract of lowland coastal forest teeming with spectacular and rare wildlife, in the Manuel Antonio Rainforest.

In just 1,700 acres, countless rare species thrive, made accessible by ground and treetop canopy trails. As the jungle abruptly meets the Pacific, a gorgeous crescent beach, offshore islands, a lagoon as well as coral reefs and exotic marine wildlife are part of a peaceful and unspoilt atmosphere.

Gaia Hotel & Reserve balances the sleek elegance of Bauhaus with the richness of leather, teak and rattan. The property counts with vast rooms including a private butler, Italian fittings, Balinese screens and your own Jacuzzi with a jungle view. There is a three–tiered infinity–edge pool, a full service spa and al fresco dining room with sensational views.
