W Hotels has opened its first property in Costa Rica: W Costa Rica – Reserva Conchal. Located within a 2,300-acre nature reserve, the resort is designed for adventurous travelers and places surf breaks, horseback trails, ATV routes, catamaran departures, snorkeling spots and diverse nature experiences all within easy reach.
“The land of ‘pura vida’ is where the playful spirit of the W brand was born to run free,” said Anthony Ingham, global brand leader, W Hotels Worldwide. “The people, the culture and the beauty of this country all meet to create a paradise unlike any other, and W Costa Rica will celebrate it all. The hotel is our latest W Escape, W’s platform for hotels that redefine the resort experience for the modern traveler looking for a holiday rooted in unexpected experiences and local sizzle.”
The resort debuts the brand’s first on-site beach club. Zona Azul Beach Club sits on Playa Conchal and can be reached from the hilltop Wet Deck via an optional zip line. The club offers an infinity pool, a range of international dining choices and evening entertainment tailored to the lively W atmosphere.
Inside the resort, 150 guestrooms combine playful details with comfortable design. Each room features an in-room draft beer tap stocked with a locally brewed beer, and the indoor minibar area opens onto a private outdoor patio. For guests seeking elevated space, the Extreme WOW Suite includes a full library, a wrap-around deck and a private pool.
W Costa Rica also introduces a first-for-brand feature at the AWAY Spa: an in-spa, full-service bar, enhancing the wellness experience with bespoke beverages and an emphasis on relaxation that complements the resort’s adventurous offerings.
Designed to blend local culture with modern resort comforts, W Costa Rica – Reserva Conchal positions itself as a destination for travelers who want both energetic outdoor activities and curated moments of relaxation. The resort’s combination of unique amenities, immersive nature access and signature W programming aims to deliver a distinctive Costa Rican escape rooted in the country’s “pura vida” spirit.
