Tucked between lush mangroves and the sparkling waters of the Gulf of Papagayo, El Mangroove feels like a secret you’re delighted to discover. This laid-back yet luxurious resort is where contemporary design meets the natural rhythm of Costa Rica’s coast — where hammocks sway lazily in the breeze and every sunset seems to paint the sky just for you. Whether you’re lounging by the oceanfront pool, kayaking through tranquil waters, or sipping cocktails under a canopy of stars, El Mangroove invites you to slow down and savour the moment.
Here, every detail feels curated yet effortless. The suites, just steps from the sand, are designed for barefoot living with modern touches, open-air lounging spaces, and deep soaking tubs that invite endless relaxation. Dining is a highlight too — from freshly caught seafood served by the beach to vibrant local flavours crafted into unforgettable meals. And when you’re ready to explore, the wonders of Guanacaste, from volcanic parks to hidden beaches, are just a stone’s throw away.
At El Mangroove, luxury isn’t just about where you stay — it’s about how you feel: free, inspired, and connected to the heart of Costa Rica.
