DISCOVER YOUR SLICE OF

UNTOUCHED PARADISE ON COSTA RICA

Along the shores of a crystalline half-moon bay surrounded by undisturbed jungle wildlife, Sugar Beach (Playa Pan de Azucar) sits in idyllic solitude as one of Costa Rica’s most secluded beaches. Less than 1km in length, this heavenly hidden beach on Guanacaste’s coast is a paradise of pristine white-sand shoreline with a world of activities to complement your tranquil escape. Enjoy fishing (best in rainy months), horseback riding, and snorkeling/scuba trips to off-shore islands Pitahayas and Santa Catalina—boasting some of the best diving in the region. It’s a short ride to golfing, Congo Trail canopy tours, and world-class surfing at Playa Grande. Make an evening visit to Playa Grande National Park, to catch a rare glimpse of endangered leatherback turtles laying their eggs and the newborn hatchlings en route to sea. Book a day tour to National Park Rincón de la Vieja - to visit the active volcanoes and hot springs, or Santa Rosa - to hike among thousands of species of dry forest flora and fauna.

Located 5 miles north of popular Playa Flamingo, it’s a short drive from private seclusion to an evening out—giving your peaceful getaway a vibrant burst of nightlife. Restaurant options in the area range from local fare and pizza to upscale fine dining at Mar y Sol Restaurant and Bar, where the seafood and panoramic Pacific views are sure to satisfy. Hotel Sugar Beach, offering the only lodging and restaurant accommodations along the beach itself, is simply elegant and committed to sustainable tourism, with 30 spacious rooms, an open-air restaurant and massage services on-site—providing the utmost serenity for your tranquil escape.
End your days relaxing on the shore as the sun sets over the bay in your own peaceful, secluded beach paradise.
