Aguas Claras

B Corp
Contact us

Just 10 minutes from the Caribbean town of Puerto Viejo, Aguas Claras is a small boutique hotel with just six casitas ranging from one bed to five.

The property has a wonderfully traditional style amidst tropical gardens accentuated by the use of bright colours, mosaics, and recycled materials to create a unique blend of traditional crafts, modern art and Caribbean flair.

Why we like Aguas Claras

Owned by a local artist, Aguas Claras is a charming property with bags of character and tasteful décor giving a fresh and modern feel. Shrouded in forest the tropical vegetation gives a great deal of privacy between the casitas as well being home to plentiful birdlife yet just a short walk to the wild Caribbean beaches lined with coconut palms.

Facilities

  • The casitas have small kitchenettes equipped with cooker, fridge, coffee maker, fans and wifi. Some have A/C.
  • Restaurant
  • Bar
  • Pool
  • Spa
  • Yoga pavilion
  • Children welcomed over 14 years of age

Activities

There are a number of activities available both on and off-site. Relax by the pool or enjoy a treatment in the spa or a yoga session. There are several trails around the property that you can walk alone, and the beach is just a five-minute stroll. Alternatively, head to one of the many national parks. Nature walks, kayaking, surfing, snorkelling, coffee and chocolate tours, horse-riding, fishing and dolphin trips can all be organised. Bikes are also available to guests to cycle to the eclectic town of Puerto Viejo where several great restaurants and lively bars can be found.
