Proyecto Americano Las Huacas, Lote EE90 Provincia de Guanacaste Nosara, Nicoya, 50206, Costa Rica

Tierra Magnifica is where luxury meets the familiarity of home. Don’t expect to enter into a cavernous lobby where you’ll wait at a front desk. Your first step onto our open-plan property says it all as the sprawling backdrop of the jungle and ocean greet you, along with a warm smile and a natural fruit drink to quench your thirst. This is how your Costa Rica vacation will begin.

Tierra Magnifica sits nestled on the hilltop, offering every room a stunning view of the mountains, forest valleys and beach. Days on the property are sunny and serene, where schedules are determined by the sun, surf and conversations with the chef. Evenings are spent relaxing in our open-air bar lounge and dining al fresco in our restaurant, Huacas, followed by sipping an Aperitif under the stars at our Alba fire circle. (Tierra Magnifica has a minimum age policy of 15 years old.)

The property has received Conde Nast’s prestigious accolade for three consecutive years as the top small exclusive property in Central and South America. Additionally, it consistently earns TripAdvisor’s “Best of the Best” award. This year, it is proudly featured among National Geographic Traveler’s top picks for Latin America.
