THE PERFECT COMBINATION OF NATURE & LUXURY

Los Altos de Eros is an adults-only boutique hotel & spa located in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. Situated high up on a mountain overlooking the jungle and ocean, you’ll feel as if you’re in a faraway paradise, but actually you are just a 15-minute drive from the popular beach town of Tamarindo. Los Altos de Eros means “The heights of love” in Spanish. The original owners picked this name to emphasize the elegance and romance associated with being a secluded, serene, adults-only hotel.

You’ll be surrounded by jungle and natural beauty on our 22-acre estate where privacy, relaxation, service and elegance are our top priorities. While you’re here, you can explore the area or indulge yourself at our world-class open-air spa, enjoy gourmet cuisine, unwind poolside, take a morning yoga class in our Yoga Shala, go for a hike and more!

You’ll wake up to the sounds of wildlife surrounding you and coffee brewing. You are served breakfast family style in our open lobby area with fresh local ingredients. Lunch & dinner is also available on the property every day and the menu is tailored to the guests preferences while including gourmet and traditional style dishes

Many of LADE’s staff members have worked here 10+ years and even send their other family members to work with us. LADE also work with and donate to a lot of local charitable organizations in the area, for instance: CEPIA, Hope 4 a Street Dog, La Paz “We Are Costa Rica” Scholarship fund, and more.

MEET JULIA & ANDRE

Los Altos de Eros is more than just our home, it’s our sanctuary.

When we moved to Costa Rica, we had no idea what to expect. From the concrete jungle of New York City to the actual jungle, we found solace in slowing down and adopting the “Pura Vida” way of life.

Before Costa Rica, Andre was working in re-insurance for 15 years in NYC while Julia worked for a yoga studio and event planning. When Andre visited Costa Rica for a surfing trip, he fell in love with the country and knew he wanted to find a way to move here for good.

Fast forward 8 months and he found Los Altos de Eros and thought it was too good to be true. Not only is the property incredible but the staff is welcoming and attentive and they could have our own house on the property and manage the business from home. So, they decided to make the ultimate lifestyle change and move to paradise together.

“Costa Rica feels like home more than anywhere else ever has” - Andre Silva

Awesome Compnies We Work With

Biosfera – an all-natural, biodegradable, handmade skin care line.

We also use these products for the facials in the spa and sell them in our spa shop (face wash, lotion, scrub, sunscreen, etc.). Café Huella – a small brand coffee roast in the mountains of Santa Maria de Dota - Tarrazú, with excellent quality and flavor, to satisfy all those who love good coffee, and in turn help with the protection of our wildlife. Every bag they sell they donate $1 to the wildlife and nature conservation of Costa Rica. We serve this coffee in the hotel and also sell retails bags to bring home.

Neighborhood

LADE is located just 15 minutes from the popular surf town of Tamarindo beach and 20 minutes from another surf beach, Playa Avellanas. Also, only 1 hour from LIR airport so we are located not too far from the airport. Tamarindo first became recognized by a documentary/movie called “Endless Summer 2” starring our town celebrity, Robert August. Robert August still lives here today and shapes surf boards right on the beach in Tamarindo. The town of Tamarindo is bustling with shops and restaurants whereas the local beach Avellanas is more secluded and private. There are many other beaches in the area worth seeing – Playa Negra, Playa Grande, Brasilito, Conchal, Portrero and more. Our particular neighborhood where we are located is called Cañafistula & Cebadilla. Los Altos has always prided ourself on our connection to the local community and culture and we

love to give back to our neighbors. Most of our staff live here in the neighborhood, some even are family members. We host a Christmas Party for all of the local children (about 80 kids) every year. It’s our favorite day of the year! The kids have lots of fun with a games, a clown (a Costa Rica tradition), lunch, snacks, drinks and best of all, a Christmas gift for every child & goodie bags. It brings us so much joy to see how happy the children and parents are on this day. On Easter, we drive around to every home and donate an entire chicken per household as an Easter celebration and an overall appreciation and gratitude for being our neighbors.

BLUE ZONE

Did you know, this part of Costa Rica is considered to be 1 of 5 of the Blue Zones in the entire world? What is a blue zone? Blue Zones are regions of the world where a higher than usual number of people live much longer than average. Dan Buettner called it, “The Secrets of a Long Life” and we think we know a couple reasons why…

Our Favorite Part About Costa Rica

Our favorite part about living in Costa Rica is simple. Learning how to SLOW DOWN and appreciate life. We have learned and adapted so much love, patience and appreciation it is hard to even put in words. The food is healthy, fresh and abundant and they value and take care of the planet because it is their home. Most people live with much simpler means. Yes, it is harder to shop and no, there is no Amazon.com, but how much of that stuff do you actually need? We have learned what is really important and that’s the people you surround yourself with, how you react to things and the energy you put out in the world.

Costa Ricans (or “Ticos”) value connection above all else. If you truly live the “Pura Vida” or “Pure Life”, those are the ones that are truly happy.
