Area
Tucked into the lush folds of the Osa Peninsula’s Corcovado Biological Corridor, El Remanso Rainforest Lodge is the kind of destination that travelers dream about long after they return home. Just outside Puerto Jiménez and steps from Matapalo Beach, this intimate eco-retreat is surrounded by a private reserve within the Osa National Wildlife Refuge—one of the most biodiverse corners of the planet.

Vibe
This is jungle luxury with heart. A small-scale lodge that feels both wild and deeply refined, El Remanso is for couples, families, and travelers who want immersive nature, tailored experiences, and true tranquility. The lodge’s 16 accommodations are scattered like treehouse sanctuaries across the forested hillside, offering the feeling of complete escape—without compromising comfort.

Amenities
• Private reserve with miles of rainforest hiking trails and direct access to Matapalo Beach
• Infinity pool with jungle canopy views and a wide sunset-facing deck
• Open-air restaurant perched above a canyon—expect breezes, birdsong, and gourmet meals
• Full-service bar and coffee lounge for sunset cocktails or early-morning espresso
• On-site naturalist guides for wildlife spotting, waterfall rappelling, night hikes, and more
• Yoga classes, wellness offerings, and private birding tours
• Family-friendly amenities including highchairs, spacious villas, and multi-bedroom options

Rooms
Whether you choose a romantic guest room, a canopy bungalow, or a family-size villa, each space is designed to blend into its surroundings with elegance. Interiors feature polished wood, soft linens, rain showers, and expansive balconies that float over the jungle—often with ocean or forest views right from bed. Sustainability is central, but so is indulgence.

Dining
Meals are a highlight. The lodge’s forest-edge restaurant serves thoughtfully crafted, globally inspired cuisine made from fresh, local ingredients. Expect beautifully plated seafood, bright salads, Costa Rican specialties, and homemade breads. Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options are seamlessly integrated.

Why Book
El Remanso is a rare combination: remote but accessible, luxurious but rooted in nature, sustainable yet never spartan. It’s the kind of place where you’ll spot a scarlet macaw mid-bite of breakfast, cross paths with monkeys en route to the pool, and fall asleep to a chorus of frogs and distant ocean waves. The Osa Peninsula is often called the “last wild frontier” of Costa Rica—this is your front-row seat.
