The Altamar Approach

Altamar was born from a deep connection to the ocean and the wild beauty of Costa Rica. After years of exploring its coastline, hidden beaches, surf breaks, and underwater worlds, we created Altamar to share these experiences with travelers seeking something more authentic.

We design personalized adventures that go beyond traditional tourism, combining local knowledge, meaningful connections, and unforgettable moments in nature.

- Andrés Bolańos

Whether you're surfing, diving, exploring remote beaches, or discovering the coast by sea, every experience is crafted to help you experience Costa Rica in a genuine and memorable way.

At Altamar, we believe the best adventures are personal, responsible, and rooted in the places and communities that make them possible. That's why we are committed to sustainable tourism, supporting local businesses, and creating experiences that leave a positive impact on both our guests and the environment.

Where you’ll stay

At Altamar, we choose Refugio Surf Lodge as a premium coastal base just steps from Tamarindo Beach and its surf breaks. This adults-only property blends comfort and design with private rooms featuring en-suite bathrooms, air-conditioning, and terraces that open to lush tropical gardens or the pool.

A comfortable place to return to after time in the ocean—close to the waves, quiet when you need it, and made for moving with the rhythm of the coast.
