3 Sustainable Costa Rica Wellness Resorts to Add to Your Travel List

Costa Rica, paradoxically, is a mostly unspoiled paradise where travelers can spoil themselves in environments epitomizing what it means to be “down to earth.” As the better resorts successfully balance the country’s natural assets (rain forests, wildlife and clean beaches), cultural attributes and wellspring of outdoor activities, it’s no surprise Costa Rica tops many high-profile, best-of destination lists for 2024. With that in mind, three independently owned resorts promise to expand the scope of what makes this little country so big on adventure and well-being.

The Argosaronic Islands Are Calling

The Saronic or Argo Saronic Islands of Greece call travelers to explore its seven small islands and islets brimming with history, natural sites and more. With most easily accessible by boat, the islands’ proximity to ports of Athens make the Saronic Islands an ideal destination for those preferring shorter boat rides. In fact, trips from Athens ports to the islands take only between 10 minutes and two hours, depending on the island you choose, making them perfect for day or weekend trips. From Piraeus port, you can access Hydra, Spetses, Aegina and Poros directly. Come explore these stunning islands with us and find the inspiration to plan your next trip to these islands. Hydra Hydra town curves around a slope overlooking the Argosaronic Gulf like an amphitheater and is considered one of the most romantic destinations in Greece. Most unique to the island is its lack of vehicles. People on the island get around on mules and donkeys as well as water taxis, making for a peaceful and laid-back day. Hydra lies a two-hour ferry ride from Piraeus port in Athens.
