Breathtaking views of Mexico's purest Pacific Ocean coastline

The Tamarindo Beach and Golf resort offers ultimate luxury amidst the natural beauty and bounty of Mexico's Pacific Coast. Just off the scenic bay of Tenacatita de la Costalegre, it is an ideal destination for those looking to escape the hectic world and reconnect with themselves. The resort is ideally suited for couples, families, or friends.

The Tamarindo combines refined luxury, endless beaches and lush surrounding vegetation: a unique little piece of paradise on Earth!

The 29 spacious villas with scenic private gardens and plunge pools have been designed with simple elegance using natural resources and materials. The Tamarindo Beach and Golf Resort is the ideal place to put your mind, body and soul at ease.

An intimate and personalized stay

Each of the 29 spacious villas is roofed with palapa thatching which provides a stunning contrast to the villa's sleek and modern interiors. The casitas are tastefully decorated with modern, regionally crafted, furniture. Every villa has its private pool, outdoor Jacuzzi and terrace and its own view: you can allow your mind to escape with the ocean; enjoy the privacy of the scenic gardens; or benefit from a more secluded location within dense pine groves and tropical forest.

The casitas all have private hammocks so you can indulge in a Mexican siesta with the soothing sounds of the forest and the lullaby of the Pacific Ocean.

At the Tamarindo Beach and Golf Resort you can also discover the treasures of the surrounding nature: why not go view over 150 species of birds? You may also encounter raccoons, does, or young wild boars...

The Tempting Experience: intimacy, nature, and a stunning Golf course!

The Tamarindo Beach and Golf Resort not only offers a high-end luxury service amidst the tropical forest on the picturesque Mexican Pacific Ocean coast, but is also famed for David Fleming's signature 18-hole golf course!

The course is ranked second in the country according to Mexico's Best Golf courses guide and is nestled in an 825 hectare natural reserve. It provides breathtaking views of the untouched rocky coastline that meets the crystal-blue Pacific Ocean. Whether you are a novice or pro, you'll love the experience!

Tamarindo Beach and Golf Resort's guests benefit from a US$175 green-fee.

Services and activities

Whilst your children enjoy the multitude of activities and services offered by the Kid World (from the 5th to the 19th of April and from the 1st of July to the 1st of September 2009) you'll be able to sunbathe in peace at the private beach, the pool, or in the privacy of your suite's individual plunge pool.

Alternatively, choose to discover the surrounding nature - all the required equipment is made available by the resort: simple or double kayaks, windsurfing gear, diving masks, snorkels and fins, mountain bikes...

If you choose to stay at El Tamarindo Golf and Beach Resort between November and January you may even see sea-turtles laying their eggs on the beach. 

Whatever you do, however, do not miss the Tamarindo's spa and at its indigenous Temazcal ("sweat lodge") where one connects with the spirits of water, plants, air and fire (Tuesdays and Saturdays - reservation needed).
