If you want to be blown away, consider this Costa Rica mountain resort, where culture, gastronomy and wellness combine to magnificent effect. The WELL, the beloved health-and-wellness clinic, café and spa in New York City, is behind their sprawling hilltop spa. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the spa’s plant-filled Casa de Agua, which houses a sleek pool and hottub, plush lounge chairs and heated marble slabs on which you’re encouraged to lay after slathering on an herb-infused mud body mask. AltaGracia’s culinary program is similarly unmatched. Executive Chef Liezl Odendaal and her team craft exquisite dishes using locally sourced ingredients, if not those grown in the resort’s onsite organic garden. A few culinary highlights include luscious avocado ice cream drizzled with mariola honey, a zingy arugula salad crowned with local goat’s-milk manchego and pillowy chicken dumplings bathed in savory bone broth. (Chef Liezl is serious about her local connections.) And the staff are extraordinarily warm and attentive: you’ll swiftly reach a first-name basis. When it’s time to depart, you’ll be dreaming about when you can see them again.

Chileno Bay Resort & Residences

Chileno Bay, located on an idyllic beach in Cabo, is also blessed by The WELL’s spa direction. All treatments include a hydrotherapy circuit in the area’s Bath House, outfitted with a full-body sound bowl, aromatherapy steam room, cold plunge, Himalayan salt room and among other rejuvenating offerings. Holistic treatments are heavenly, but for something even more transportive, consider an immersive spa experience such as Rebozo & Flow, a therapeutic yoga class followed by a massage, or Immersive Healing, where a local energy healer administers a full-body scrub and subsequent chakra-balancing massage. Play a round of golf or pickleball, snorkel, whale-watch, sail on a catamaran: there is an activity for every travel style. After a day of adventure or pure relaxation, dine at the oceanfront COMAL, where traditional dishes get a contemporary twist.

Esperanza

This exclusive Cabo escape overlooks two private coves. Rooms range from airy casitas to luxe residential villas. It’s perfect for group and family trips, but its exclusivity makes it equally ideal for a romantic getaway. Experiences highlight the beauty of the Baja Peninsula: go offroading among steep cliffs, bike to San Jose, deep-sea fish for marlin, cruise along Cabo Bay at sunset. There are also cooking classes and culinary workshops available, as well as a kids’ club where activities range from yoga and pool time to traditional crafting and stand-up paddleboard class. Wellness offerings marry ancient healing modalities with more familiar treatments. Sometimes, however, you don’t want to leave your room (which is especially true at Esperanza). Not to worry: in-room treatments are also available — and highly recommended.

Etéreo

Etéreo is the Mexican escape you didn’t know you needed. It’s located in the Riviera Maya’s luxury Kanai development, on the Caribbean coast. Here, Mayan tradition informs the resort’s culinary and wellness programs; the power of nature reigns. At SANA Spa, partake in sound therapy, family meditation, tarot workshops, Mayan cacao ceremonies and more. Passionate, talented practitioners assist in whole-body healing. The resort’s breezy, tastefully designed restaurants celebrate native Mexican ingredients and prehispanic cuisine. Mexico City-raised chef Carlos Segura is behind Etéreo’s gastronomy, putting his expert touch on authentic, traditional Mexican cooking.

Susurros del Corazón

Punta De Mita is always a good idea. Its combination of jungle and beach checks a lot of boxes when it comes to a Mexican vacation. But Susurros del Corazón goes beyond merely checking a box. Here, luxury mingles with nature. The resort’s activities — snorkeling, jungle obstacle courses, paddleboarding amid an uninhabited isle — were designed with nature in mind. Surfers will be especially happy here. Don’t miss their surf safari, where a professional surfer whisks you away to private beaches and some of the area’s best-kept surfing secrets. In typical Auberge fashion, the food is locally and sustainably sourced, the best reward after a day exploring the region’s natural bounty.
