The Retreat - Costa Rica

Situated in the middle of a mountain with a breathtaking view of the Pacific Ocean in the distance, The Retreat in Altos Del Monte, Atenas, Costa Rica was a dream, 10 years in the making, by wellness and nutrition expert Diana Stobo. This spring her dream was realized when her luxury boutique hotel/wellness retreat opened; an incredible getaway designed to bring inner peace while still embracing the nature of Costa Rica. Interior designer Andrea Artinano, who is based in Costa Rica, used sustainable and organic materials from the region, creating simple and pure spaces that help guests feel relaxed. Of course I love the use of turquoise everywhere! With its calming yet invigorating qualities, I can't think of a better color for a wellness retreat! See lots more photos by Sergio Pucci and get all the information about the hotel here!

The Firefly - Bocas Del Toro, Panama

If you're looking for an adventure, The Firefly might be up your alley! The small five-room eco bed & breakfast on Bastimentos island in Bocas Del Toro, Panama sits directly on the Caribbean. With its boho chic, surf-beach house vibe and splashes of turquoise, I think it would be the perfect place to get away from it all! It's geared towards those who love the outdoors, a local experience and amazing food, and features its own bar and restaurant as well as a yoga studio. So cool! You can read all about it here!

Whitehall - Camden, Maine | Rachel Reider Interiors

The local motto "where the mountains meet the sea" was the inspiration behind the recent renovation of Whitehall–a boutique hotel in Camden, Maine, designed by Boston-based Rachel Reider Interiors. I love how the designer incorporated lots of natural elements like grasscloth, weathered woods, aged metals, barn board and rope. And did you notice the incredible runner going up the stairs? It's by Maine-based Angela Adams; I'm a longtime fan of their incredible nature-inspired rugs! The talent of other native Mainers can be seen throughout the hotel in artwork, fabrics and lighting as well. The mountains-meet-sea vibe is just so fun...perfect for a weekend getaway, don't you think?! See more photos of the hotel by Rare Brick and get all the info on it here!
