Pull up to the sunny grounds of the W Hotel in Costa Rica’s Reserva Conchal, and it feels like stepping into the heart of nature — think “Jurassic Park,” minus the dinosaurs. The salty breeze from the beach stirs the surrounding forest, underscoring how seamlessly nature is woven into every aspect of life here. The country’s natural wonders are always front and center.
Here, sustainability isn’t just an initiative — it’s a way of life. Located on Costa Rica’s Pacific coast in the Guanacaste province, Reserva Conchal is 2,300 acres of lush green landscape, hugging white-sand beaches and serving as a community nexus for conservation efforts. Nestled within the grounds of Reserva Conchal is Huerta Najui, an agricultural project focused on empowering and employing local women.
