Makanda by The Sea

Makanda by the Sea is an adults-only, design-forward boutique hotel set between rainforest and the Pacific in Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica. Suites and pool villas frame ocean and jungle views; many include private plunge pools or jacuzzis. Two infinity pools, a secluded wild Makanda beach, and the Ocean Club Terrace create a relaxed, barefoot-luxury atmosphere. Shanti Spa offers holistic rituals, while our ocean-view gym features state-of-the-art Technogym equipment. At Árbol Restaurant, contemporary jungle dining showcases Central Pacific seafood, farm produce and a curated wine list; floating breakfasts and sunset cocktails are guest favorites. Wildlife—sloths, toucans and monkeys—move freely around the property. The concierge team arranges Manuel Antonio National Park visits, catamaran cruises, waterfalls, zip-lining and more. Ideal for couples and honeymooners seeking privacy, nature and style, Makanda sits minutes from the park and Quepos marina yet feels worlds away.
