Layan Hotel And Spa

A hillside outlook over Manuel Antonio

The Pacific stretches beyond the rainforest-covered hillside at Layan Hotel And Spa, giving a stay in Manuel Antonio an inviting sense of space. From the terraces and balconies, the coast becomes part of the day: a view to pause over before heading out, and a place to return to as sunset draws your attention back to the ocean. The hotel’s elevated setting puts greenery around you and the coastline in front of you, with the pleasures of Manuel Antonio waiting beyond the grounds.

Make time for the view

The infinity pool is a natural gathering point for an afternoon at the hotel. Take a swim, settle beside the water and enjoy the coastal outlook without planning another excursion. Landscaped gardens provide places for a leisurely stroll and quieter moments among the tropical greenery. Here, keeping a little time free can be part of making the most of the hillside.

A comfortable counterpart to the coast

The rooms and suites give the outlook a comfortable indoor counterpart. Contemporary styling, welcoming furnishings and fine linens make it inviting to settle in, while private balconies or terraces draw you back outside toward the coast. The individual categories differ in room features and views: a Superior Room Ocean View, for example, has an ocean outlook and terrace, while other choices emphasize jungle or partial ocean views. Choose the accommodation for the time you plan to spend there, not simply as a place to sleep between tours.

Massage and spa services take place in the privacy of your room, making a treatment part of those quieter hours. Pacific Trade Winds clients receive a special 15% discount on in-room massage treatments when booking their vacation through Pacific Trade Winds. You can leave an afternoon open for the pool, a walk through the gardens and a treatment before thinking about the evening.

Local flavors and ocean sunsets

The restaurant brings Costa Rican and international flavors together using fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Seafood and tropical fruits connect meals with the region you have come to explore. The bar offers another reason to linger at the hotel, with a refreshing drink and the coastal scenery setting the tone for an unhurried evening.

Explore Manuel Antonio, then return to the hillside

Manuel Antonio’s beaches, rainforest and wildlife give you plenty of ways to shape the days beyond the hotel. Trails in Manuel Antonio National Park and guided wildlife tours offer opportunities to look for monkeys, sloths and tropical birds. Zip-lining, waterfall rappelling and whitewater rafting bring a more adventurous rhythm to the trip.

Evenings can extend beyond the hotel when you feel like a change. Manuel Antonio’s restaurants and shops invite browsing, with local crafts and souvenirs along the way; nearby Quepos adds nightlife. Returning to the hill after that activity restores the quieter side of the stay, with a balcony, the coast beyond the greenery and no need to make every evening follow the same plan.

Why choose this Pacific-view hillside retreat?

• Sweeping Pacific outlooks from a rainforest-covered hill make the scenery part of the stay. Choose Layan for elevated coastal views, terraces and sunset time rather than a beachfront location.
• The beach is not within walking distance, and the hotel is not directly beachfront. Plan beach visits as outings with transport so the hillside setting fits your expectations.
• The infinity pool and landscaped gardens invite a day with breathing room. You can swim, stroll or linger over the coast without arranging another excursion.
• The restaurant blends Costa Rican and international dishes using locally sourced ingredients, including seafood and tropical fruits. A bar adds a place for a drink and an unhurried evening with the scenery.
• Massage and spa services are provided in the privacy of your room. An in-room treatment makes relaxation part of your own quiet time.
• A 15% discount on in-room massage treatments is available only to Pacific Trade Winds clients booking their vacation through Pacific Trade Winds. It adds a specific benefit to choosing an in-room treatment during your stay.
• Spacious rooms and suites combine contemporary styling with private balconies or terraces. Room-specific outlooks and amenities vary, so compare the accommodation as well as the hotel’s general coastal setting.
• Park walks, guided wildlife outings, ziplining, waterfall rappelling and rafting give active days their place. Restaurants, shopping and Quepos nightlife add alternatives before you return to a quieter hillside base.
