Hacienda AltaGracia

Hacienda AltaGracia

A luxury resort on a private coffee plantation in the Talamanca Mountains, offering 140 casitas and suites with mountain-view terraces, a polo club, equestrian center, award-winning spa with volcanic-mud treatments, gourmet farm-to-table dining and cultural-heritage tours of the estate.
Location: Talamanca Mountains

Area
Tucked into the lush, untouched foothills of the Talamanca Mountains, Hacienda AltaGracia feels like a secret whispered by the clouds. This 180-acre estate floats above the jungle, overlooking valleys draped in mist and lit by golden hour glow. Far from the bustle of Costa Rica’s beaches, you’ll find a different kind of paradise here—where morning coffee comes with birdsong from a thousand species and your only commute is a stroll past butterflies and horses. Arrive in style via private charter from San José, then slip into a world where time slows and nature softens every edge.

Amenities
• Three serene pools (including an indoor vitality pool at THE WELL)
• Daily curated adventure or wellness experiences included with each stay
• THE WELL at AltaGracia – 20,000 sq ft of immersive wellness, from Ayurvedic therapies to craniosacral release
• Equine stables, a coffee farm, and organic gardens woven throughout the estate
• Bespoke day trips to cloud forests, waterfalls, cacao farms, or coastal adventures
• Children’s Discovery Program and family-friendly activities for multi-gen luxury travel
• A dedicated “Compa” (your personal experience curator) included in every stay

Rooms
• The 50 casitas are standalone sanctuaries—each one exquisitely appointed with handwoven textiles, local stone, and hardwoods. Expect outdoor showers, expansive terraces with hammock swings, and panoramic windows that make the mountains part of your morning routine. Some casitas feature private plunge pools or soaking tubs designed for stargazing.

Dining
Cuisine at AltaGracia is hyper-local, seasonal, and deeply rooted in Costa Rica’s agricultural heritage—but elevated through the lens of Auberge’s signature luxury.

  • Grano – A refined yet soulful culinary experience featuring wood-fired cooking, local trout, heirloom vegetables, and in-house fermented elements.
  • Picoteo – A casual Latin-inspired tapas bar perfect for a post-adventure sunset.
  • El Cultivo – Garden-to-glass cocktails and fresh bites served in the greenhouse.
  • In-casita dining and tailored culinary journeys are also part of the stay—think mountaintop breakfasts, fireside dinners, and wellness-enhancing menus created in tandem with your treatment plan at THE WELL.

Spa
This isn’t your typical spa—it’s THE WELL at AltaGracia, the New York-born wellness brand’s only international outpost. Here, your healing journey might include an herbal body wrap with native plants, a crystal-infused energy healing session, or a deeply restorative Maderotherapy massage. The healing house features hydrotherapy pools, an infrared sauna, a river-view movement studio, and full-day programs designed to help you realign body, mind, and spirit.

Why Book
Hacienda AltaGracia is for travelers who want more than luxury—they want transformation. It’s one of the most thoughtfully curated hospitality experiences not just in Costa Rica, but globally. Every detail—from the warm greeting of your personal Compa to the hand-blended herbal teas delivered to your casita—is designed to help you reconnect with what matters. Whether you’re riding horseback through mountain trails, sipping single-origin coffee grown on-site, or simply floating in silence under the stars, AltaGracia is a full-body exhale.

A stay here is a splurge, yes—but it’s also an invitation to slow down, soften, and return home feeling lighter, brighter, and deeply nourished.
