Rancho Humo – Nicoya

Rancho Humo

This eco-boutique destination is known for combining luxury and natural beauty. Located alongside Palo Verde National Park, it sits alone, secluded in the wilderness. To the left, an untouched network of wetlands and mangroves. To the right, the Tempisque River.

The hotel forms part of one of the world’s most important blue areas. Here, locals enjoy healthier and longer lives. Furthermore, these benefits seem to be enjoyed by the local wildlife too.

The property and surrounding areas are known for an abundance of tropical wildlife, especially birdlife. The area’s diverse terrain (rivers, mangroves, wetlands, dry tropical forests) allows a vast amount of species to coexist.

The rooms keep to the idea of providing ultimate luxury in a manner that accentuates the property’s incredible natural beauty. Large windows and private balconies are found in each room. Ultimately, each guest will wake up to an incredible view of the untouched wilderness below.

The bar specialises in fine wine and craft beers. After a long day exploring the surrounding natural wonders, you’ll find yourself comfortable nestled on the bar’s terrace. Here, each afternoon, the sky turns a pinky-purple as the sun retreats behind the mangrove forest.

On the other hand, the kitchen is known for transforming traditional Costa Rican dishes into gourmet masterpieces. Impressively, this is done using fresh local ingredients, many of which are grown on site.
