Makanda By The Sea

Perched on a steep slope amidst lush vegetation, Makanda by the Sea is a boutique, five-star, adults-only hotel offering stunning ocean views and a private, tranquil atmosphere. Intimate villas and suites surrounded by lush greenery, two infinity pools and an elegant restaurant make this resort an ideal choice for couples and honeymooners seeking relaxation amidst nature, away from the crowds.

Makanda’s signature restaurant, Árbol Restaurant, offers breakfast, lunch and dinner in an open-air setting with ocean and jungle views. The menu combines Costa Rican inspiration, international flavours, fresh seafood, premium meats, vegetarian options and creative cocktails. The Árbol Pool Terrace offers guests a relaxed daytime dining and poolside experience with ocean views.

Makanda has access to a secluded natural wild beach area from the property.

The hotel is located in Manuel Antonio, on a hill covered in tropical forest overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The picturesque Playa Biesanz beach is about a 10-minute walk (500 meters), and Manuel Antonio National Park is just 2,1 km away. Restaurants, cafés, and shops are located nearby. Quepos Airport is 5,5 km away, and San José International Airport is approximately 160 km away.

Manuel Antonio National Park, on Costa Rica’s central Pacific coast, encompasses rugged rainforest, white-sand beaches and coral reefs. It’s renowned for its vast diversity of tropical plants and wildlife, from three-toed sloths and endangered white-faced capuchin monkeys to hundreds of bird species. The park’s roughly 680 hectares are crossed with hiking trails, which meander from the coast up into the mountains.
