Indoor and outdoor living spaces blend seamlessly with an understated elegance, designed to put the mind, body and soul at ease.
Spa Hut, the resort´s natural spa, gets back to basics with culturally inspired treatments, oceanfront spa huts, all-natural products and an authentic Temazcal.

An adjacent wine cellar perfectly complements this gastronomic experience. Each meal is a distinctive experience.

Romantic meals are a specialty of the resort and can be arranged on the patio of the villas, on the resort´s private pier, or beside the gentle waves on the beach, all of which provide an intimate dining experience. A personal waiter and chef, paired with scores of twinkling candles, set the scene for a magical evening.
A signature 18-hole golf course by David Fleming provides spectacular views of the Pacific and challenges for the advanced and novice golfer alike. Aquatic excursions, tennis and nearby polo fields offer the finest in leisure diversions, while turtle and wildlife preservation and bird observation programs provide a unique look at the area´s natural inhabitants, which includes more than 150 species of birds.
El Tamarindo beach and golf resort is an experience unlike any other.
Consider This ...
Tamarindo is a complete destination and you may never want to leave. However, if you fly into Puerto Vallarta, you may want to stay a few nights at the Hacienda San Angel before heading down the coast. If you choose to rent a car, drive down the coast and stay at Hotelito Desconocido or Las Alamandas Resort along the way. This will allow you to discover several breathtaking properties in one trip and provide you with unique experiences along the way.

Press Comments
"On the southern end of the coast, we love El Tamarindo, 45 minutes north of Manzanillo, which recently reopened with 29 thatched-roof villas, each with a plunge pool. The property is situated on 2,000 acres of tropical forest and deserted beaches, with a rustic spa and stunning 18-hole golf course." – Laurel Delp. Sherman´s Travel Magazine. Fall, 2007.
"Early in the morning or evening, you´re likely to be joined by armadillos, lemurs and deer who also appreciate this rare harmony of man and nature, hand in glove."
– Mimi Avins. Los Angeles Times - October 27, 2002 |

Wine & Dine:
LA HIGUERA: Innovative, yet timeless menu items that best reflect the resort´s unique location. La Higuera treats guests to the fine offerings of the coastal states and regions of Mexico, highlighting the area´s fresh vegetables and seafood, the basis of traditional Mexican cuisine. The breakfast, lunch and dinner menus at La Higuera are modified each day to reflect the freshest meats and produce available.
La Higuera is situated adjacent to the resort´s inviting infinity pool and features al fresco dining beneath the canopy of a mature fig tree, after which the restaurant is named. In the evenings, lanterns hung from the tree´s branches gently illuminate the tables below as the moon dances on the Pacific. An unobstructed 180-degree ocean view makes breakfast, lunch or dinner a refreshing experience.
La Higuera is open daily for breakfast, lunch or dinner from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.
THE BAR AT LA HIGUERA: Enjoy a captivating sunset at the intimate bar at La Higuera. Open for lunch and dinner, the bar sits quietly beside the resort´s infinity pool and beneath a large palapa roof, providing an ideal setting for a pre-dinner cocktail or post-dinner nightcap.
HOLE 9: Located at the midway point of the spectacular El Tamarindo Golf Course is Hole 9, a unique eatery perched high on a hill overlooking the greens and waters below. If you are enjoying a round of golf, the restaurant is an ideal place to refuel for the remainder of the course, and for guests who are not golfing, the restaurant is a great place to enjoy a unique afternoon meal.
Hole 9 serves a simple menu of chips and salsa, ceviche, grilled arrachera sandwiches (very tender beef, signature of Mexico), fish and chicken sandwiches for mid-day dining in addition to offering a full bar. Aside for the year-round splendor of the restaurant, it is also an ideal place to spot migrating whales in January and February.
THE WINE CELLAR: Enjoy an intimate dining experience in the cool recesses of the wine cellar.
