Frequently asked questions

Which area of Dominical is best to stay in for luxury hotels?
The best area to stay in Dominical for luxury hotels is the hills overlooking the coast, particularly around Dominicalito Bay and the areas just north and south of Dominical town.

These elevated areas offer breathtaking ocean views and a sense of seclusion. Luxury hotels here are often located into the rainforest, providing a tranquil setting with direct access to nature. You'll find properties featuring infinity pools, expansive private villas, and high-end fitness equipment, all designed for a comfortable and indulgent stay.

Couples looking for a romantic escape will find these hillside retreats perfect. The privacy, stunning vistas, and the opportunity to spot local wildlife from your balcony create an idyllic setting. Many hotels in these areas offer bespoke services like private chefs or spa treatments, adding to the exclusive experience.

For those seeking a blend of high-end comfort and easy access to surfing or beach activities, staying in the hills just above Dominicalito Bay is ideal. It's a short drive down to the calmer waters of Dominicalito Beach, which is great for learning to surf or simply relaxing.
