Escape to a secluded nature reserve in Mexico’s Tamarindo, the pristine coastline where verdant jungle meets the Pacific Ocean. With our unique location on a private peninsula, Four Seasons Resort Tamarindo, México, invites you to leave the world behind and explore this undiscovered region of Mexico – far from everything, yet remotely close. This particular topography, and the wildlife that calls it home, make the area a treasure to be protected. We provide a natural refuge for those who seek an authentic connection to Mexico, its biodiversity and culture.
The best of Mexico has yet to be discovered.
FEEL AT ONE WITH NATURE
Start your day by awakening your senses and feeling the rhythm of the nature reserve. Join our team of resident biologists and researchers on a morning hike through hills and winding paths. In a destination where there are more animal footpaths than human footpaths, you’ll gain an intimate knowledge of this tropical seasonal jungle. This walk, a Tamarindo tradition, will grant you an insider’s peek into the biologists’ work to study and protect the reserve’s natural treasures as you experience your natural surroundings with all your senses.
A JOURNEY THROUGH TASTE
Led by our Culinary Director, Nicolas Piatti, our culinary workshops are immersed in Mexican cuisine and traditions. Learn about recipes passed down by generations and about our unique fresh produce, such as blue agave from Rancho Ortega, our low-impact farm. Piatti and his team also bring organic corn from the Yucatán Peninsula and harvest salt. Each of our workshops serves to tell a story – of a place, traditions and ingredients – and are soulful expressions of Mexico’s culinary heritage.
A MOMENT OF PAUSE ON THE PACIFIC
Head out on an adventure with the local fishermen of La Manzanilla, who have lived on these shores for generations and know the local waters better than anyone. Aboard their traditional lancha (fishing boat), listen to their stories about the ocean and the creatures that live in it, and learn the secrets of hand-line fishing, a sustainable fishing practice, from the very best. As you roll along the ocean, you will gain a unique understanding of local culture, and perhaps a few new friends.
AN UNDISCOVERED NATURE RESERVE
Named after the only tamarind tree found in this vast nature sanctuary, Four Seasons Resort Tamarindo, México, welcomes you to a striking landscape of awe-inspiring cliffs, verdant jungle and virgin beaches. Set on the peninsula’s coastal ridge, the Resort features a dramatic 200-metre (656-foot) cliff descending to the beachfront below. Reflecting a deep respect for the environment, only 2% of the reserve will be developed, giving a pure experience of this natural utopia.
