The Only Beachfront Luxury Resort in Manuel Antonio!
Arenas Del Mar is made for surfers, nature lovers, families, couples, honeymooners, and adventure seekers who don’t want to compromise on comfort.
The Resort
Occupying 11-Acres of rainforest and beachfront, the resort overlooks Manuel Antonio National Park. Arenas Del Mar is unique among the resorts in the area, offering a light atmosphere while letting you enjoy all the luxuries only the best hosts can provide.
This carbon-neutral property is the first high-end Costa Rican hotel to be awarded Five Star status and the Five Sustainability Leaf Award. The resort offers sustainable, luxurious lodgings immersed in tropical wildlife.
The resort offers direct beach access to the two beaches of Espadilla Beach, a long stretch of sand with many waves, and Playitas Beach, the perfect spot to lounge, relax and observe the wildlife around. If infinity pools are more your scene, we’ve got you covered too, with two pools overlooking the ocean!
Waves at Arenas Del Mar
Unlike other areas in Costa Rica central Puntarenas has largely remained off many surfers’ radar. The mountainous scenery and adaptable rock and sand breaks offer something for everyone. The best time to surf is May to November with S-SW swells ranging from 3-12ft.
Manuel Antonio National Park has fun waves for all standards along Playa Espadilla, but the northwest corner at Playitas holds the best waves from mid to high tide and there is also an outer reef righthander with a solid swell and a high tide.
Take a surf lesson with the professional in-house Surf Instructors! Embrace the Manuel Antonio surf lifestyle while enjoying the warm waters of the Pacific!
Why We Love Arenas Del Mar
Fun waves right at your doorstep and year-round warm water surfing!
The unbeatable views of the ocean and rainforest with direct access to gorgeous beaches!
The sustainable luxury experience! Sustainability guides all of the resort’s everyday practices!
