Area
Perched on the southernmost tip of the Osa Peninsula, Lapa Rios Lodge is the kind of place where “off the grid” becomes a luxury unto itself. Set within a 1,000-acre private reserve—one of the last remaining lowland tropical rainforests in Central America—this National Geographic Unique Lodge invites you to wake up with the howler monkeys, hike alongside scarlet macaws, and fall asleep to the lullaby of Pacific waves and rustling palms. Remote? Yes. But that’s the point.

Dining
• Brisa Azul Restaurant – Set beneath a thatched roof with panoramic views, Brisa Azul serves three a la carte meals daily, all included in your stay. The menu highlights local produce, fresh-caught seafood, and tropical ingredients—think mango-coconut pancakes, tamarind French toast, and passionfruit cake with white chocolate mousse. Vegetarian and vegan options abound.
• La Papalapa Bar – A bamboo cocktail nook just steps from the restaurant. Order the signature Mamalapa (passionfruit + coconut cream + vodka) and settle in for golden hour.

Spa
Two open-air treatment cabins tucked into the canopy offer massages and facials with wildcrafted ingredients—accompanied by the soundtrack of macaws and ocean breezes. Guided yoga is held on the ridge with rainforest views, and private wellness sessions can be arranged.
