Gaia

One of the most magnificent wildlife hotspots in Costa Rica. And now, hooray, you can adore the sloths and escape the throng at this lofty hilltop retreat: all minimalist chic with cascading pools. The rooftop restaurant matches any New York brasserie for slick style and service. So then the spa comes as a surprise – a haven of transforming treatments at the hands of truly special staff who know exactly what you need. Costa Rica’s volcanic mud and organic fruits make superbly therapeutic products – you’ll want to bring them home in gallon jars.
