    The Guanacaste Coast, Costa Rica

    JW Marriott Guanacaste Resort & Spa

    Hacienda-style beach resort

    This spacious hacienda-style resort on the Guanacaste coast combines exclusive five-star luxury with beautiful seaside surroundings. Courtyards slung with hammocks, red brick and dark furniture give the hotel a local feel, and the 289 rooms and 21 suites have a typically “Tico” feel with marble bathrooms, and stunning views out over the beach and ocean.

    With four restaurants, two bars and a coffee and ice cream shop, there’s plenty of choice when it comes to dining. Enjoy Italian-style dishes at Azul Grill, savour international cuisine made with local ingredients at Mansita Restaurant, satisfy your craving for something hearty at Sabanero Steak House, and treat yourself to contemporary Asian flavours at Tamarine. Azul Pool Bar specialises in refreshing natural cocktails and healthy light meals, and Nau Lobby Bar is the idea place to raise a glass at the end of a busy day. For a quick Costa Rican coffee or indulgent Italian ice cream, pop into Waves and Cream.

    After a day of exploring, indulge in a treatment or two at the spa, take a dip in the swimming pool or stroll down to the beach. There are a variety of activity options for active guests. Head out into the countryside and go biking, hiking or horseriding, or spend your day at the beach jet skiing, kayaking, snorkelling sailing or surfing.

    Palacio Guaqui

    Peru

    Palacio Guaqui

    Located within the historical heart of Arequipa, Palacio Guaqui was once the manor house of the Count of Guaqui from the 19th to the 20th century. This beautifully restored mansion forms part of the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site, recognised for its cultural and architectural significance.

    Every detail of Palacio Guaqui’s restoration reflects a deep respect for its original structure and surrounding environment. Peruvian artisans, using innovative and sustainable techniques, have preserved the mansion’s authentic charm while crafting an elegant retreat that feels timeless yet modern. Each suite in this boutique hotel is a sanctuary of refined design, offering spacious, warm and inviting interiors.  The serene ambiance of the three courtyards invites you to unwind and immerse yourself in the tranquil beauty of Arequipa.

    The hotel’s restaurant pays homage to the region’s culinary traditions, serving exquisite dishes crafted with fresh, local ingredients. The cosy atmosphere provides the perfect setting to savour authentic flavours of Peru, while a varied buffet breakfast ensures a delicious start to the day. For a more private dining experience, room service delivers the same level of culinary excellence to your suite. For those on the move, the hotel offers thoughtfully prepared lunch boxes, allowing you to carry a taste of Arequipa wherever your adventures takes you. Meanwhile the 24-hour bar provides an array of beverages and light snacks at any time of the day or night.
