Hacienda AltaGracia: A Luxury Wellness Escape
Located in the mountains of southern Costa Rica is an agricultural area with stunning valley views, where you'll find the Hacienda AltaGracia, part of the prestigious Auberge Collection of Resorts. This luxurious boutique hacienda surrounded by coffee farms provides guests an outlook on rural life in Costa Rica, especially for lovers of all things equine. There are 28 stables, purebred horses, riding trails around the property, and a riding school.
AltaGracia comprises 50 elegant casitas (bungalows) scattered across its 150-acre property; all touched with warm woods and leather accents. Each casita has a panoramic terrace, private bar, and luxurious amenities including A/C, heater, LED TV with Netflix, iPad, and docking station. All but the Deluxe suites feature a butler pantry and fireplace. Hotel amenities include 24-hour room service, concierge and valet, high-speed WiFi, wine and gift shops, pillow menus, and laundry. In addition, guests will enjoy a specialized tour of the impressive hotel grounds.
Award-Winning Hotel and Spa
Conde Naste listed Hacienda AltaGracia as one of the best hotels in the world for 2021, and Harper's Bazaar named the spa as one of the best hotel spas on the planet.
The spa is the main reason for people to come to Hacienda AltaGracia. The Manantial Spa offers many relaxing treatments, especially for horseback riders. However, you don't have to be a rider to benefit from the wide range of wellness activities at Hacienda AltaGracia. This is a hotel designed to connect you, physically and mentally, with a spirit of wellness.
A Haven for Horse Lovers
The other main reason to stay at Hacienda AltaGracia is the horses. With miles of horseback riding trails all over the property - including a tour that allows you to experience life as a vaquero (Costa Rican cowboy) for a day - and 28 stables breeding horses to interact with, horse lovers will adore a stay at this property.
More on-site activities include a special ultra-light tour from the hotel's private airstrip, ATV, mountain biking, hiking, picnics, and a coffee tour. Other highlights include unique cultural tours to farmers' markets, cheesemaking, and an indigenous village tour.
Incredible Dining Options
And then there's the food. Due to the remoteness of Hacienda AltaGracia, meals are all included within the price of the stay. After all, there's no place nearby to eat. So it's lucky that the meals at Hacienda AltaGracia are to die for. The hotel chef is a winner of multiple international awards and offers creative menus focused on fusing international cuisine with a local twist. Vegan and gluten-free menus are also available upon request. In addition, the hotel offers three on-site restaurants to pick from, each offering its distinct ambiance, from poolside dining to cowboy style, in front of the riding ring.
