The elegant Xandari Resort and Spa sits in the central valley region of Costa Rica, just 20 minutes from the international airport. The central valley is wrought with volcanoes, lush plantations, and hillsides, and blessed with outstanding weather. San Jose is a short drive away and offers an abundance of international cuisine, shops, open markets and entertainment.

The area boasts a number of fun and exciting day trips. Start off with a trip to one of the volcanoes and view their enormous bubbling craters and surrounding forests. A tour to San Jose makes for a wonderful way to visit the national museums, theaters and historical sights. There are also excursions to beaches, waterfalls, canyons and gardens.

The resort lies on 40-acres of tropical gardens, sure to evoke a feeling of tranquillity and serenity. You'll discover trails to a nearby river and a dramatic waterfall. Guests can also treat themselves to the full-service spa, set in a tropical garden with private palm-roofed gazebos, each with its own Jacuzzi and view. Also enjoy the exceptional meals served for the discerning and health-conscious, with fresh produce from the greenhouse, gardens and orchards.

Relax in the impressive accommodations, each one with a unique design. Spend time in your private villa on the large terrace where you can enjoy a panoramic view of the central valley. The spacious Prima Villa has a bar, kitchen, and a full-size bed. The Prima Plus Villas are more private and have a large private terrace for sunbathing, and a large bathroom that opens up to a private garden. The Ultra Villa are larger villas of approximately 1173 square feet and are individual buildings for increased privacy. All have a large private terrace with a panoramic view of the Central Valley. The Ultra Plus Villa, with a delightful roman bathtub overlooking a private garden, is a special treat for those wishing to treat themselves to tasteful luxury.
