Marriott continues to strengthen its presence in Costa Rica, unveiling plans for yet another luxury property in the country. With a St. Regis featuring a Piza-designed golf course and a Ritz-Carlton Reserve already in the works, the global hospitality giant is now set to introduce a brand-new JW Marriott All-Inclusive resort.

Slated to open in spring 2026, this highly anticipated resort will be part of the exclusive Costa Elena development in Guanacaste, one of Costa Rica’s premier tourist destinations. The addition underscores Marriott’s commitment to expanding its portfolio of all-inclusive properties across the Caribbean and Mexico region.

A Luxury Experience in Paradise

So, what can travelers expect from this new JW Marriott? The resort will boast 415 elegantly designed rooms, offering guests a blend of comfort and sophistication. Food enthusiasts will have plenty to indulge in, with 11 diverse dining concepts showcasing world-class cuisine. Meanwhile, those seeking relaxation and recreation will find 17 pools spread across the property, creating an expansive 44,000-square-foot water experience.

Nestled along nearly 900 feet of pristine Pacific coastline, the resort’s beachfront location ensures breathtaking ocean views and direct access to the golden sands of Costa Rica’s famed shores. The Daniel Oduber Quirós International Airport (LIR) in Liberia is the closest gateway, approximately a 90-minute drive from the resort.

Strengthening JW Marriott’s Presence in Guanacaste

This new property marks an exciting milestone for JW Marriott, as it joins the existing JW Marriott Guanacaste Resort & Spa. Unlike its predecessor, however, the new Costa Elena location will embrace the all-inclusive model, offering guests a seamless, worry-free vacation experience in one of the most sought-after regions of the country.

With its stunning setting, world-class amenities, and commitment to luxury, the upcoming JW Marriott All-Inclusive Costa Rica is set to redefine high-end travel in Guanacaste. As Marriott continues to expand, this latest venture cements Costa Rica’s position as a leading destination for discerning travelers seeking both relaxation and adventure.
