If the hotel’s name sounds a little New Age, it’s no mistake: this sustainable resort on Costa Rica’s Pacific coast is dedicated to the green lifestyle, complete with yoga classes and vegetarian tapas. But the Harmony Hotel, despite its popularity with eco-friendly travelers and surfers, isn’t exactly a hippie compound. The elegant beachfront property just makes the most of its natural setting – lining its sandy paths with tropical gardens, crafting flavorful contemporary cuisine from locally grown plantains and mangoes, and using an open-air architectural style that allows ocean breezes to sweep through many of the hotel’s buildings.
Earthy hues and natural textures fill the hotel’s guest quarters, a series of 24 units occupying thatched-roof structures along a walkway that leads to the beach. High, vaulted ceilings, smooth wood, fresh white linens, king-sized beds, and wireless internet come standard; even the most basic ‘Cocos’ rooms, situated on either side of a central swimming pool, feature large private patios with outdoor showers and hammocks. A handful of bungalows, each constructed with an open, airy design, each boast big wooden decks — and one two-bedroom bungalow suite, large enough to accommodate six people, is surrounded by a wide wraparound porch perfect for lounging (or downward-facing dog, if you so desire.) The luxe Harmony House, an independent structure located on the hill behind the hotel, boasts a full kitchen and an infinity pool.
The swimming pool, surrounded by lush vegetation and beautifully illuminated at night, is, unsurprisingly, chlorine-free. Community yoga classes are great for beginners — but if somehow meditation at the hotel’s Healing Centre or raw food and vegetable elixirs at the Juice Bar aren’t for you, head to the beach and nearby Playa Guiones, a surf spot that’s popular year-round.
How to get there:
