Xandari Resort & Spa is a tropical paradise of 22 individually-designed villas nestled on a 40-acre plantation overlooking the Central Valley of Costa Rica and only 20 minutes from the San Jose International Airport. At an elevation of 3900 feet, Xandari enjoys a near-perfect temperature of around 70 degrees Fahrenheit year-round.

Spacious villas surrounded by gardens have large terraces for enjoying the sunset and lights of the valley at night plus a walled-in area for privacy and solitude. The spa village, set in a tropical garden, includes five private palm-roofed jalapas with Jacuzzis and a picturesque view of the Central Valley. Enjoy a massage, mud wrap, facial, or exotic body treatment with a distinctive Costa Rican flavor. Xandari's spa has been acclaimed by experts as one of the best in the country.

Xandari's indoor/outdoor restaurant features healthy continental and Costa Rican fare. Many of the fruits and vegetables are from their organic greenhouse, orchard and gardens. Dine in intimate and elegant simplicity while enjoying a panoramic view of the Central Valley.

Other amenities include two 20 meter lap pools with terraces, botanic gardens interspersed with sculptures, over four kilometers of private scenic trails to intimate river vistas and dramatic waterfalls, orchid house, and greenhouse. Dedicated to diminishing its environmental impact, Xandari has a tree planting program. Poas Volcano, La Paz Waterfall Gardens, canopy tours, river rafting, and coffee processing plant visits are among the many popular activities in the region. 
 
Xandari is a great choice for visitors with a late arrival to or an early departure from San Jose International Airport who prefer the tranquil surroundings of the Central Valley to staying in the city.
