Rosewood to open Costa Rican resort with striking treehouse villas

by Jane Kitchen | 30 Mar 2016

Rosewood Hotels & Resorts will open a location in Costa Rica in 2019, the Rosewood Papagayo, which will include the brand’s signature Sense, A Rosewood Spa.

Located on the northwest coast of Costa Rica, the resort will be nestled into the hillside on the Pacific Ocean and offer guests panoramic views over both the surrounding jungle canopy and the Gulf of Papagayo.

Situated within a forested setting, the resort will have 130 bedrooms and 50 residences designed by Dallas-based architects HKS. The accommodations will feature open-air living rooms, large terraces and plunge pools. Seven two-storey treehouses feature striking, contemporary design.

The resort will use indigenous materials and locally-inspired artwork throughout the property, and will include the brand’s signature Sense, A Rosewood Spa, as well as two swimming pools and a fitness centre.
