Casa Isleña

Rincón


Reopened in October 2019, this high-class option stands in the thick of Rincón’s best surfing at Sandy Beach. An elegant Mediterranean-style guesthouse, it occupies a magnificent, moody stretch of ocean and is a magnet for discerning jet-setting surfers. Guests work out their sore muscles at morning yoga under palms and navigate the walled-in gardens to nine large, lovely sea-view rooms.

Breakfast, afternoon snacks and dinner are available at the on-site restaurant, where the spectacular dinnertime show is made up of roaring surf and setting sun. As with all of Rincón’s best places, you’ll certainly want to book well ahead.
