Tierra Magnifica Boutique Hotel

Perched on a hillside above Playa Guiones with views that earned the name "Tierra Magnifica" fair and square, this 13-room boutique hotel sits just far enough from one of Costa Rica's most famous surf breaks to feel genuinely removed from it. Rooms lean minimalist but never austere, and everything opens toward the canopy and the Pacific breeze. The yoga pavilion and the restaurant terrace reinforce the idea that walls are optional here.
