Guest Access:
Calamocha is a securely enclosed, secluded resort nestled along a dirt road in the charming heart of Manzanillo, optimally reached by a 4WD vehicle or its equivalent (such as a quad, motorbike, or jeep). Private parking is available on the premises, and we are delighted to coordinate pick-up and drop-off services as per your requirements. Furthermore, we are more than happy to help you with arranging transportation from San Jose to the picturesque Manzanillo on the Nicoya Peninsula.

The Neighborhood:
Nestled within a serene 30-hectare (74-acre) expanse of untouched jungle, the resort provides an oasis of tranquility and blissful solitude, a refreshing contrast to the bustling beaches further south. Enveloped by a rich array of wildlife and lulled by the gentle sounds of the jungle, Calamocha fosters a profound bond with nature, making it the perfect setting for a yoga retreat, a rejuvenating family holiday, or an enchanting romantic escape. As the day winds down, revel in the beauty of the sunset from the expansive infinity pool with a view of the ocean, and awaken to the melodious songs of monkeys and birds.

Embark on a leisurely 1km stroll through the lush jungle or a brief 3-minute quad ride along the road, and you'll discover the unspoiled beauty of Playa Manzanillo beach. Adorned with striking volcanic rock formations, this pristine shoreline offers an idyllic and ever-changing environment for swimming or exploring tide pools. Additionally, a local supermarket (Super Campos) and a charming soda (Atardecer Dorado) are conveniently located nearby, just a short 2km drive away.

Getting Around:
To reach Manzanillo from San Jose, you can choose between land or air travel. The fastest route involves a 20-minute flight to Tambor (from SJO or Liberia), followed by a 40-minute taxi ride to Calamocha.

We recommend renting a car, ATV, or bike, ideally 4x4 for your stay.
