Hideaway Río Celeste
Bijagua, Costa Rica · Independent · Core Luxury
The electric-blue Río Celeste runs through Hideaway's own 80-acre reserve, so a swim in the river does not require leaving the grounds. Twenty-six private casitas face rainforest or garden, each with a patio and indoor and outdoor showers. Private trails, a yoga pavilion and PRANA Spa fill the quiet hours, with Tenorio Volcano National Park close enough for a waterfall day.
- 26 rooms
