Clinging to the top of a mountain within a 13-acre private nature reserve, this contemporary playground on Costa Rica's western coast suggests a modernistic game of Chutes and Ladders, with stone, concrete, and steel staircases leading to the resort's different levels. Water cascades from those levels into the multi-tiered pool or into the channel along the edge of the spectacular open-air dining pavilion or down the spa's stone walls. Studios, the smallest accommodations, are spare and urbane in style, with wide views over green hillsides to the Pacific beyond; though oddly the narrow bathroom runs in a corridor along the room's length behind sliding panels. Among the exceptional dining options at La Luna is a filet mignon with béarnaise sauce over a yucca pancake. Breakfast, butler service, and yoga class are, happily, included in the rate.
