Aguas Claras is a hidden gem on Costa Rica’s less-travelled Caribbean Coast, offering a uniquely cool and artistic retreat in Puerto Viejo. Created by an artist, this bohemian haven provides a relaxed atmosphere with laid-back tunes playing by the forest-fringed pool, inventive locally-inspired cuisine, and refreshing drinks at the oceanside beach club. The property features just 6 suites and 6 one- or two-bedroom bungalows, along with Casa Floralia, which accommodates up to 10 guests—perfect for families or groups of friends. Each room is individually decorated with a modern yet artistic flair, showcasing the owner’s artwork and vibrant textiles. Facilities are thoughtfully designed, with some bungalows offering luxurious outdoor showers, enhancing the sense of private retreat. Aguas Claras boasts direct access to Playa Chiquita, an uncommon feature in the area, allowing guests to easily enjoy the stunning beach. Dining options include the Papaya Restaurant and the oceanside Da Lime Beach Club, where you can savour fresh, delicious dishes. In the evenings, the beach club comes alive with intimate DJ sets, live reggae, and local music, embodying the true Caribbean vibe in a luxurious setting. Aguas Claras offers an exquisite blend of comfort, creativity, and natural beauty, making it a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle.
