Hacienda AltaGracia Fact Sheet
The world’s preeminent well-being destination, Hacienda AltaGracia is tucked away from the frenzy of modern life in the foothills of the Talamanca Mountains. The resort marries seclusion and exploration, comfort and excitement, privacy and personalization - encouraging individual discovery of peacefulness and exhilaration. From sunup to sundown, in sunshine or spring showers, we invite you to move fast (or slow), explore our lands (or your inner self), connect with our community (while you reconnect with yours).
Location
In the mountains of Pérez Zeledón in the southern region of Costa Rica, Hacienda AltaGracia is perched above the cloud line in rolling hills, with sweeping views of the San Isidro Valley and the nearby mountains. Accessible via international airports in San José or Liberia, connecting flights are available via charter landing directly on our airstrip or at Pérez Zeledón airport with a 35-minute vehicle transfer to property.
