Green Paradise

A luxury boutique hotel set in the midst of an organic, shade-grown coffee plantation…that’s what you’ll find at Finca Rosa Blanca, a certified sustainable inn in Costa Rica’s stunning Central Valley. Since its founding in 1985, this place has been charting new territory in melding eco-minded principles with an indulgent, luxurious resort experience. No gas-powered vehicles are permitted on the inn’s grounds, and solar panels help provide the inn’s hot water. Underground electrical systems protect local wildlife while the buildings themselves are constructed with many recycled materials. Even the swimming pool uses an environmentally-friendly copper-silver ionization system. These and other efforts have earned Finca Rosa Blanca recognition as the only hotel to receive a perfect score from the prestigious Sustainable Tourism Certification Program; FincaRosaBlanca.com.
