Lapa Rios Lodge
Set within a 1,000-acre private rainforest reserve on Costa Rica's remote Osa Peninsula, Lapa Rios Lodge offers one of the country's finest wildlife and nature experiences.
Surrounded by one of the last remaining tracts of lowland tropical rainforest in Central America, the lodge enjoys a spectacular setting overlooking the Golfo Dulce, where rainforest-covered hills meet the Pacific Ocean. The reserve protects an extraordinary diversity of wildlife, including scarlet macaws, monkeys, sloths, tapirs and more than 300 species of birds, making it an exceptional destination for nature lovers.
Accommodation has been thoughtfully designed to immerse guests in the natural surroundings while providing a high level of comfort. Spacious open-air Deluxe Bungalows sit amongst the rainforest canopy with ocean views, while the newer Lapa Villas and Premier Villas offer an even more luxurious experience, featuring generous indoor and outdoor living spaces, contemporary design and panoramic views across the forest and Golfo Dulce. Throughout the property, sustainability is carefully balanced with understated luxury.
A stay at Lapa Rios centres on exploring the remarkable landscapes of the Osa Peninsula. Guided excursions include rainforest hikes, birdwatching, night walks, waterfall treks, kayaking through mangroves, dolphin and whale watching in the Golfo Dulce, and visits to the pristine wilderness of Corcovado National Park. Guests can also learn about traditional medicinal plants, take part in conservation initiatives such as tree planting, or simply relax and enjoy the sights and sounds of the rainforest from the lodge. Combining exceptional biodiversity, superb guiding and elegant accommodation, Lapa Rios is one of Costa Rica’s most rewarding wilderness retreats.
