About the location
An oceanfront resort on Mexico’s Pacific, set within a private reserve. Escape to a secluded nature reserve in Mexico’s Tamarindo, the pristine coastline where verdant jungle meets the Pacific Ocean. With our unique location on a private peninsula, Four Seasons Resort Tamarindo, México, invites you to leave the world behind and explore this undiscovered region of Mexico – far from everything, yet remotely close. This particular topography, and the wildlife that calls it home, make the area a treasure to be protected. We provide a natural refuge for those who seek an authentic connection to Mexico, its biodiversity and culture. The best of Mexico has yet to be discovered.
