Marriott International, Inc. is set to bring its iconic JW Marriott brand to the shores of Costa Elena, a prestigious resort-residential community in Guanacaste. The resort, expected to open as one of the first JW Marriott all-inclusive properties, highlights Marriott’s commitment to redefining luxury and mindfulness in the hospitality industry.
Nestled in a picturesque location, just about 49 miles from Daniel Oduber Quirós International Airport, the new JW Marriott will offer a unique blend of luxury and relaxation. The resort is poised to become a destination of choice for sophisticated travelers seeking more than just a getaway, but a transformative experience. Guests can look forward to 415 spacious, elegantly designed guest rooms, each offering breathtaking views of the surrounding tropical landscape.
One of the resort’s most standout features is its expansive selection of amenities, designed to cater to every type of traveler. The resort will boast an impressive 44,000 square feet of water amenities, including 17 swimming pools that promise an oasis of relaxation. With 11 diverse food and beverage outlets, guests can enjoy a wide range of culinary delights, from local Costa Rican flavors to international gourmet dishes.
For those seeking wellness and relaxation, the JW Marriott will provide a state-of-the-art fitness center and a 16,000 square foot spa, which will reflect the brand’s signature wellness philosophy. In addition to the spa, the resort will also include 10,000 square feet of indoor meeting space, ideal for business events, conferences, or special occasions. The luxurious atmosphere will provide guests with a perfect blend of rejuvenation, indulgence, and functionality.
The resort will be located within the exclusive Costa Elena community, which will feature 885 feet of pristine beach frontage. This provides the ideal setting for a tranquil, luxury escape. With its serene environment, stunning natural surroundings, and world-class amenities, the JW Marriott Costa Elena will quickly become a top choice for travelers looking to immerse themselves in the unparalleled beauty of Costa Rica’s Pacific coast.
Furthermore, future plans for the property include the potential development of JW Marriott-branded residences, which will add even more exclusivity to the resort. This would offer an exceptional opportunity for those seeking long-term ownership in one of the world’s most sought-after destinations.
Jeff Mullen, President at Mullen Real Estate Capital, expressed excitement about the collaboration, stating, “MREC is thrilled to embark on this exciting collaboration with Marriott International and JW Marriott, a brand synonymous with excellence and world-class service. Together, we look forward to unlocking new opportunities, setting new benchmarks, and creating a future filled with limitless potential.”
Costa Rica continues to capture the attention of luxury travelers, and with Marriott’s strategic move, the country is set to further solidify its place as a top luxury destination. The JW Marriott Costa Elena is expected to offer a premier destination for those looking for an exceptional all-inclusive experience.
