The renown Canyon Ranch hotel & Spa chain is planning to invest $400 millions in the development of a Tourism Project in the Tamarindo area, Guanacaste.

Canyon Ranch’s new proposal for the local tourism market includes a complex of small luxury houses for retirement and leisure of people interested in their physical and mental health.

Canyon Ranch Operations Director, Mr. Peter Smith explained that it will be more than a Spa, since the hotel will include a physical conditioning center, allowing visitors to enjoy yoga, karate, tennis, water aerobics and spinning classes, accompanied by professional trainers.
Besides, Canyon Ranch will offer different types of treatments, medical therapy and consulting, as well as nutritional services; including organic food. Also they will offer a bicycling road and trails to walk outdoors. Besides the usual services offered by the hotel chain Canyon Ranch, visitors will enjoy additional services such as: physical therapy and acupuncture, and also hair dressing, make up and facial peeling.

The hotel will be constructed on a 700 hectares field and will have 150 small residences. People will be able to relax and enjoy an educational program in which will have different options for a better quality of life, said Smith, who also indicated that there are two beaches surrounding the project. The hotel construction will be ready by 2010.
