Esencia Spa is a unique wellness sanctuary that celebrates the best of Costa Rica’s natural healing qualities amid an elegant hotel setting. The sound of flowing water, the feel of a gentle breeze, a nourishing connection to the earth and the flicker of candlelight converge in harmony for relaxing massages, facials and body wraps. Standout features include the outdoor Yoga Deck and Conical Room, designed to channel the energy of the Costa Rican forest.

Esencia Spa

With almost 200 hectares of cloud forest, El Silencio Lodge & Spa establishes a biological corridor between Costa Rica’s Juan Castro Blanco and Poás Volcano National Parks: a protected reserve allowing the cloud forest’s flora and fauna to thrive and enchant visitors.  
 
El Silencio Lodge & Spa is also committed to a more sustainable way of cooking and eating. Therefore, most of the ingredients used in the lodge kitchen are homegrown and collected within the lodge organic garden, trout ponds and chicken farm. No product used in the kitchen is imported from outside of Costa Rica and Chef Nicolás Di Paolo then adapts restaurant menu based on the fruits and vegetable seasonality, in order to respect nature’s own rhythm.

Nestled in Costa Rica’s central highlands, this sophisticated eco-lodge and spa offers a gateway to the splendours of the tropical cloud forest. Sliding glass doors guarantee breathtaking views of lush picture-book vegetation, emerging from the clouds. Suites blend into the landscape and offer unrivalled mountain or river views from rocking chairs on a private deck. All are spacious, decorated in natural tones and boast a private outdoor heated whirlpool. The soothing atmosphere of peaceful wellness is in perfect harmony with the property’s magnificent surroundings. The restaurant highlights ingredients sourced from its organic mini-farm, serving dishes inspired by traditional Costa Rican cuisine.

Explore a waterfall wonderland. The lodge does count with 3 miles of hiking trails along the Gorrión River, leading to three private and soothing waterfalls: La Melodía, El Silencio and La Promesa. Only hotel guests do have access to those trails and waterfalls, making it ideal for those seeking an off-the-beaten path workout.

Waterfall Magic

El Silencio Lodge & Spa offers the unique opportunity to immerse yourself into what Costa Rica has the most precious: its people. Either it is connecting with Doña Olga, the “tortilla master” from Bajos del Toro, taking a tasting coffee class with local roaster and barista Josué or horseback riding with Don Johnny, horse groom but also the hotel oldest team member; create connections that go beyond language barrier and culture difference.
