About Cabo Blanco
The Cabo Blanco Resort property is located on 160 acres in Malpais, along the Pacific Ocean coastline of Guanacaste in Costa Rica. The resort property is positioned directly adjacent to the 2,800 acre Cabo Blanco National Park at the southern tip of the Nicoya peninsula.
Planned for this unique location is a boutique hotel complete with 30 Guest Villas, Eco Homes, a Clubhouse, Restaurant and Luxury Spa facilities. The hotel, clubhouse and restaurant will be located at mid-elevation on the property, with commanding views for miles in all directions of the forest, coastline and Pacific Ocean.
Over 147 acres of the property is designed to be preserved as natural undeveloped open space. Total construction density is being limited to less than 8 percent. Guests and Owners will enjoy the benefit of an extensive trail network winding through the native semi-tropical forests, along the shoulders of wild, lush watercourses, flowing to the dramatic coastline, with the opportunity to explore the rich diversity and natural beauty of this remarkable setting. The resort will enjoy direct access to over one kilometer of Old World coastline complete with secluded groupings of quiet beachside Palapas, designed to provide an extraordinary experience.
Electric powered vehicles are proposed as the preferred mode of transportation on the property for guests, owners and service personnel alike. Solar collection elements will be utilized to reduce the resort's dependence on traditional electrical sources.

There is a deep commitment to the local community for educational assistance and employment opportunities during construction and through the opening and operation of the resort.
