The enchantment of Santa Teresa and Malpais, Costa Rica,
is in their miles of perfect pale gold beaches, fringed
to the high tide mark by
lush trees and flowers with outcroppings of rock where
tide pools form.
Densely
wooded hills rise steeply from the coast and ovelook
fifty miles of beach and mountains virtually untouched
by man.
Milarepa
hotel is designed to sit lightly
within this environment to create a spacious orderly
and airy tranquility amid the natural exuberance
without diminishing it.
