tropical getaway that offers sublime luxury in a spectacularly
exotic locale. This is Gaia. The Gaia Hotel achieves an ideal
blend of modern amenities and natural scenery. Nestled in the
magnificent coastal forests of Costa Rica, the hotel’s
well-appointed, terraced suites and villas offer views of lush
and pristine wild surroundings that are beyond compare.

The hotel sits on a vast tract of lowland coastal forest,
