Character and identity
Set on a hillside above the Pacific in Costa Rica's Osa Peninsula, this is a five-cabin eco-lodge surrounded by rainforest, coral reefs and empty beaches. The stilted cabins are positioned for ocean, jungle or combined views, with granite walk-in showers angled at the canopy. The open-air Drake Bay Restaurant, built from reclaimed teak, anchors the property and runs on a flexible schedule. The hotel is carbon-negative, protecting 160 acres of forest and drawing on solar water heating. Service is small-scale and personal, built around customised private wilderness excursions with local guides.
Who's it for
Best for:
Couples, naturalists and design-minded travellers who want immersive wilderness, scarlet macaws and toucans visible from breakfast, freshly landed mahi-mahi at dinner, and a small, quiet property where the staff plans every excursion around your interests. Sustainability credentials are genuine and visible throughout the stay.
Should look elsewhere:
Anyone wanting a full-service resort with a proper spa, kids' programming, multiple restaurants or buzzy bar scene should look elsewhere. Getting here is a project: small-plane flights into Sierpe or Drake Bay, or a 3.5-hour boat transfer. Connectivity exists but the point is to unplug.
Bottom line
The draw here is wildlife and wilderness delivered at boutique scale: five cabins, a single restaurant, and a property that functions effectively as a private reserve. Book directly and well ahead so staff can customise tours and transfers; request a cabin with the combined ocean and rainforest view. Best suited to travellers prepared for a long journey in exchange for genuine seclusion.
