Punta Leona is a 300-hectare private nature reserve between Tárcoles and Herradura, with white-sand beach bordered by forest — rare on a coast where the sand mostly runs dark. The resort maintains two beaches, Playa Blanca and Playa Mantas. Staying inside the reserve means the forest starts at your door rather than a drive away.

The forest at Punta Leona holds the increasingly rare scarlet macaw, and the resort runs its own macaw conservation project — the Lapas project. For a deeper forest day, Carara National Park is about a fifteen-minute drive up the coast road.
