Lapa Rios Ecolodge offers you a unique retreat in the midst of untouched nature while also ensuring the preservation of this tropical environment. In a sustainable yet luxurious way, you will stay in one of 17 lodges on the Osa Peninsula, known for its biodiversity, surrounded by 1,000 hectares of private rainforest reserve. Each lodge has large windows and a large terrace with an outdoor shower, bringing you even closer to nature in your private accommodation. Exquisite menus made from regional ingredients will spoil you with the exotic flavors of the region and fortify you for the experiences of the coming days: look forward to guided tours through the rainforest, where you will get up close and personal with the spectacular biodiversity of this unspoiled region, and visits to pristine Pacific beaches.
When you stay at Lapa Rios Ecolodge, you are surrounded by pristine jungle – 1,000 hectares of rainforest belong to the lodge's private estate and are carefully preserved. With trained guides, you can delve deeper into the mysterious jungle world on varied tours and learn more about the region's flora and fauna. At the same time, the beautiful beaches of Golfo Dulce are in the immediate vicinity of the lodge: here you can watch humpback whales and dolphins, explore the colorful underwater world with a snorkel, surf, or glide across the sparkling water in a canoe. Or you can simply relax in the shade of the palm trees and watch the action on the water from there.
Four different types of bungalows await you at Lapa Rios Ecolodge: in the deluxe bungalows, only the almost floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows separate you from the rainforest and its inhabitants, and you can relax in harmony with nature on the large terrace with outdoor shower. The elegant en-suite bathroom ensures maximum comfort. In the Matapalo Suites, you share the treetops with the animals of the jungle, enjoying spectacular views of the Osa coastline as well as ecological air conditioning. In the Lapas Villas, you can relax in your own living area, while your private pool on the wide terrace provides cooling refreshment. The Premier Villas offer plenty of space, a spacious outdoor area, and phenomenal unobstructed panoramic views of the deep blue ocean.
In terms of cuisine, Lapa Rios Ecolodge also lives in harmony with nature: delicious Costa Rican specialties are served al fresco at the Brisa Azul Restaurant & Bar in the morning, at lunchtime, and in the evening. The fresh, regional ingredients are sourced from sustainable farms and fisheries and are accompanied by exquisite South American organic wines. You can enjoy uninterrupted views of the rainforest and Golfo Dulce, where humpback whales live in the depths and, with a little luck, can be spotted. The lodge's kitchen team is also happy to offer vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free dishes.
On Costa Rica's pristine Osa Peninsula, surrounded by picturesque mountain ridges, lies an almost untouched tropical paradise. Lapa Rios is perched high above the spot where Golfo Dulce meets the Pacific Ocean. Relax by the resort's outdoor pool and let your gaze wander over the sea. The 17 private bungalows are located about 350 meters above sea level and feature large panoramic windows. On your spacious veranda, you can make yourself comfortable in lounge chairs and let your mind wander.
