About us

Rancho Santana offers a variety of distinctive coastal accommodations including a 17-room boutique-style hotel known as the Inn at Rancho Santana. Rancho Santana also offers a collection of luxurious villas, oceanfront homes, and stylish casitas, providing a diverse selection for guests seeking comfort and exclusivity. In addition to a variety of accommodations, the Ranch boasts eight meeting venues ideal for a multitude of functions. The Inn was recently ranked as one of the Top 100 hotels in the world by Travel + Leisure magazine (and number 3 in Central America). Rancho Santana is affectionately referred to as “the Ranch” best known for its five unique beaches making up over two miles of shoreline along the country’s serene Pacific coast. Our property spans over 2,700 acres ranging from valleys, rolling hills, tropical dry forests, and awe-inspiring elevations. It is the Ranch’s rugged nature that is celebrated, but it is our world-class food and beverage, services and amenities that make the Ranch perfectly suited for a luxury vacation or an elegant retreat. Guests seeking activity and adventure are enticed by the Ranch’s renowned surf breaks, riding stables, and hiking paths.
