Xandari Resort & Spa consists of 19 spacious villas on a 40 acre coffee and fruit plantation overlooking Costa Rica's Central Valley... the creation of architect Sherrill Broudy and artist Charlene Broudy, who envisioned a paradise reflecting the natural beauty of Costa Rica. The villas, private terraces, furniture and gardens are designed with great attention to detail, and each villa is adorned with original works of art. All villas have a private view terrace, a walled-in sun area, a bar kitchen, and either a king bed or two full beds.

Over 4-kilometers of scenic trails through coffee and fruit orchards lead into a lush natural tropical setting with a year-round river and five beautiful waterfalls. Fruits, vegetables and herbs from the plantation's gardens complement Xandari's health-conscious specialty dishes. Add to this the warm personal attention of a dedicated staff... and it's simply paradise

 

Restaurant

Healthy gourmet cuisine with an emphasis on fresh produce and seafood from local farmers, fishermen and our own plantation.

Peaceful, colorful, intimate, elegant simplicity... are words that come to mind when describing our dining room and dining terrace with a panoramic view of coffee fincas and the Central Valley. Our focus is on the uniqueness and variety of Costa Rican cuisine, as well as international specialties.

A complimentary Continental Breakfast is provided featuring fresh squeezed orange juice from our own plantation, homebaked muffins, a variety of fresh fruits, excellent whole grain bread, and the finest coffee in Costa Rica plus a variety of teas. We also offer additional selections on our Breakfast Menu including Eggs Xandari, our renowned banana and rum pancakes, traditional gallo pinto, and a variety of specialty coffee drinks. Lunches are light and healthy, featuring a variety of sandwiches and wraps, homemade soups, and a selection of salads and tropical fruit drinks.

Cocktail hour precedes dinner and is a perfect time for relaxation, conversation, browsing in our library, and viewing the sunset over the Central Valley and Talamanca Mountains. In addition to a wide variety of standard drinks, we offer several interesting cocktail specialties of Costa Rica and Xandari Plantation. Dinner is enjoyed by candlelight and soft music, with a background panorama of lights throughout the Central Valley. A full menu is available, with an additional soup and entree special each night.
