Love All
The Harmony Hotel
NOSARA, COSTA RICA

When you and your surfing sweetheart want to do good deeds as well as catch waves, head 15 miles off the paved road to this island hideout. A Havaiana's throw from Playa Guiones beach, it's known among insiders for having some of the world's best breaks. When swells are flat, help rescue howler monkeys and sea turtles, or visit the worm farm that's turning waste into fertilizer.

Top service: Reward yourself with a Red Flower in Harmony body treatment at the sweetly earnest Healing Centre of Radiant Awakening. From the mist of orange-quince water to the lime oil massage and finishing coat of jasmine cream, the service (using ecoluxe Red Flower products) will have you both ready for one last paddle-out at sundown. Rooms start at $120.
