Yearning to get away from the bustle of the city? Soak up the lush natural beauty of Costa Rica’s rainforest at the adults-only, 5-star Gaia Hotel & Reserve, where guest density is 1 human for every 620 square yards. Whether your ideal getaway includes adventure or not, options abound. Onsite, you’ll find sailing, kayaking, fishing, golf, scuba diving, surfing and tennis among the most obvious of excursions: hiking.
A Small Luxury Hotel of the World and member of the “Green” Hotels Association, Gaia was founded when a group of researchers arrived from Italy to establish a botanical garden and work toward the conservation of Costa Rica’s many endangered species. Now, still heavily involved in local conservation, the resort’s goal is to provide “a safe haven for the beautiful flora and fauna that is being squeezed out by condominium and hotel developers.”
