Travel + Leisure Readers’ 10 Favorite Resorts in Central America of 2025

The Winner

Hacienda AltaGracia, Auberge Collection: Pérez Zeledón, Costa Rica

Tucked into the verdant foothills of Costa Rica’s Talamanca Mountains, this 50-casita hideaway centers the guest experience on immersive adventure, cultural discovery, and soul-centering wellness. The property’s 180 acres encompass a coffee farm, horse stables, an organic culinary garden, and a holistic spa. Active adventures include zip-lining through the jungle, scaling giant ficus trees, or venturing out into the pitch-black night to search for nocturnal animals with a wildlife guide. For fun that’s equally invigorating but lower adrenaline, there’s a variety of culinary options, including a hands-on Tico baking class, cocktail workshops, and visits to family-owned farms nearby. Casa de Agua offers a range of signature treatments that incorporate Central American wellness practices, as well as Eastern modalities like Reiki. As T+L readers will attest, no matter how guests choose to spend their time, they’ll find a restorative experience worth flying for.
