A Secret Sanctuary at the Edge of the Blue River

Nestled on the edge of the enchanting Tenorio Volcano National Park, Río Celeste Hideaway Hotel is an intimate eco-luxury retreat where tropical elegance meets the mystical beauty of Costa Rica’s famed Sky Blue River. Surrounded by dense rainforest and the symphony of birds, frogs, and flowing water, this boutique hideaway offers a rare combination of seclusion, comfort, and natural wonder — a place to slow down, reconnect, and be transformed by nature’s magic.

Each of the spacious casitas is a private refuge, designed to blend seamlessly with the surrounding jungle. High ceilings, handcrafted furnishings, outdoor showers, and private terraces overlooking lush gardens create an atmosphere of barefoot sophistication. Some feature open-air tubs or hidden hammocks — the perfect place to unwind after a day of exploring. Thoughtful details, from soft linens to local artwork, elevate the experience with quiet refinement.

The heart of the hotel lies in its connection to the Río Celeste, whose surreal turquoise waters flow just steps away. Guests can follow exclusive trails through the rainforest to reach secluded riverbanks and natural pools, or venture into Tenorio National Park to marvel at the legendary Río Celeste Waterfall, where volcanic minerals turn the river a radiant shade of blue. Back at the property, the infinity pool mirrors the forest canopy, and the restaurant serves refined Costa Rican cuisine crafted from organic, locally sourced ingredients.

Evenings at Río Celeste Hideaway unfold to the chorus of the jungle and the dance of fireflies, with a cocktail in hand and stars overhead. It is a world apart — a place where sustainability, serenity, and sophistication coexist in perfect harmony. For those seeking nature wrapped in luxury, Río Celeste Hideaway Hotel is a hidden gem that captures the soul of Costa Rica.
