Porter: The Best New Spa Hotels to Book Now
The tropical forest of the Talamanca mountains provides the cocooning setting for The Well at Hacienda AltaGracia – a breathtaking Costa Rican spa retreat that forms part of Auberge Resorts Collection’s luxurious portfolio. Accommodation here consists of 50 Casita suites, all of which celebrate the staggering beauty of their surroundings with a focus on outdoor pursuits (think horse riding, hikes and river bathing in the Calientillo River), immersing guests in the untamed terrain. Now home to the spa oasis of The Well, Hacienda AltaGracia has established itself as a world-class wellbeing escape. One of the hotel’s three pools resides inside a glorious greenhouse oasis – Casa de Agua – that is adorned with hanging baskets and offers views so stunning, they’re said to have their own healing powers. This holistic approach also draws from local, ancient rituals to inform the treatment menu, while the facilities include a hydrotherapy tub, thermal suite, crystal rancho, healing garden and natural river bath. Meanwhile, journeys in the spa begin with a purifying exfoliation and clay treatments. Bliss.
