Punta Islita is a charming and remote hideaway dramatically set on a hilltop surrounded by lush tropical scenery and overlooking the Pacific Ocean. It is a small and intimate resort of just 30 palm thatched rooms, each boasting spectacular views over the ocean from a private terrace. Some rooms also have a private outdoor Jacuzzi or plunge pool.
Simply unwind on Punta Islita's secluded beach or beside the pool. Alternatively, for the more energetic there are various activities in the surrounding rainforest. A candlelit dinner at the excellent open-air restaurant or a private table prepared on the beach provides a romantic finale to a day at Punta Islita.
Location
Punta Islita is located in the northwest corner of the province of Guanacaste on Costa Rica's Nicoya Peninsula. The exclusive resort is perched on a hill between two mountain ridges and is surrounded by lush forest.
It is a 35-minute flight from San Jose to the Islita Airstrip. Alternatively, it is a two-hour drive from Playa Naranjo.
Things to do
Punta Islita has a secluded small crescent- shaped beach, and a bar with staff on hand to serve refreshments. The walk to the beach takes 10 minutes, or you can take advantage of the resort's shuttle service.
If you are in a more active frame of mind, there is an array of activities on offer that includes horseriding, mountain-biking, trekking and off-roading in all terrain vehicles in the surrounding forest. Sport fishing is excellent, and there are various offshore and deep-sea excursions available. Complimentary bicycles are available to guests.
