About Arenas del Mar
Arenas del Mar Beachfront & Rainforest Resort, located in Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica, is a luxurious eco-friendly retreat offering a unique blend of beachfront relaxation and lush rainforest adventure. Nestled between two pristine beaches and surrounded by rich tropical vegetation, the resort provides families with a serene and immersive experience in one of the world's most biodiverse regions. Spacious and elegant accommodations, many with private balconies and ocean views, ensure families enjoy comfort and privacy while being steps away from nature.
For families, Arenas del Mar offers a variety of activities and experiences. Children and adults alike can explore the resort's private beach, swim in the gentle waters, or try boogie boarding. Guided nature walks allow families to spot wildlife such as sloths, monkeys, and tropical birds, creating unforgettable memories. The resort also organizes family-friendly excursions, including zip-lining, waterfall hikes, and visits to nearby Manuel Antonio National Park. The two infinity pools, including a shallow children's area, offer a relaxing space for unwinding after a day of adventure.
Arenas del Mar is celebrated for its sustainability efforts, being one of Costa Rica’s first luxury hotels to achieve a carbon-neutral certification. Its dining experiences are equally remarkable, featuring fresh, locally sourced ingredients and kid-friendly menus. With its warm hospitality, eco-conscious philosophy, and perfect combination of adventure and luxury, Arenas del Mar Beachfront & Rainforest Resort provides an unforgettable family escape in the heart of Costa Rica’s natural paradise.
