Auberge Resorts Collection, owner and operator of award-winning boutique luxury hotels, resorts, and residences announced today that they will be managing the Hacienda AltaGracia, an exclusive luxury resort that officially opened a few weeks ago in the lush mountains of Perez Zeledon in the southern region of Costa Rica. Originally conceived and developed by Costa Rican native Alberto J.

Esquivel as a family retreat and coffee farm in this storied agricultural town, the resort is an esteemed member of The Leading Hotels of the World and is being rebranded as Hacienda AltaGracia, an Auberge Resort.  

One of Central America's newest luxury escapes, Hacienda is comprised of 50 hacienda-style casitas, one of Central America's finest spas, innovative fusion cuisine, and action-packed activities tailored according to guests' individual needs.

The hotel boasts an acclaimed equestrian program with breed horses for all skill levels, 28 oversized indoor stables, a tack room, an enclosed riding ring, and scenic horseback at sunrise and sunset. A dynamic roster of outdoor activities led by the resort's adventure specialists includes trips to nearby coffee plantations, wildlife refuge excursions and ultra-light flight tours across the Nauyaca waterfalls, ocean and valleys, and Marino Ballena National Park.

The hotel also has three restaurants, inspired by traditional Costa Rican cuisine, and using only the purest, freshest and local ingredients. The resort's Casa Grande complex has a library that is ideal for fireside relaxing and movie screenings; a terrace with a fire pit; and as one of Central America's leading wellness havens, the hotel's Manantial Spa has six treatment rooms, four outdoor palapas, an infinity pool, state-of-the-art fitness center and beauty salon.

Hacienda AltaGracia joins seven market-leading resorts in the Auberge Resorts Collection portfolio and marks the brand's first foray into Central America as its fourth international resort following Nanuku Auberge Resort Fiji and Malliouhana in Anguilla, which joined the portfolio in November 2014.

Rates at Hacienda AltaGracia range from $425 to $3,750 USD per night and include daily breakfast, valet parking, Wifi and more. For more information, visit www.jvpr.co.uk
