Overview
Why travellers choose Tamarindo
Guanacaste is drier, hotter and gold rather than green. Tamarindo sits at the centre of it: cliff-top villas, sailing days, long tables and the most reliable sunsets in the country.
It works for celebrations and multi-generational trips because everything, beaches, restaurants, boats, spas, is within a fifteen-minute radius.
Why here
What this coast does better than anywhere else
01
Sunset sailing as a habit
Catamarans leave every evening; we charter privately so it is your group, your music and your timing.
02
Ridge villas over the bay
Plunge pools cantilevered above the water, built for two, or for a family with the whole floor below.
03
Dry forest, not rainforest
Howler monkeys, ridge hikes and horse rides through open woodland, with far fewer wet afternoons.
