El Remanso Rainforest Lodge, Osa Peninsula

El Remanso is a family-owned, luxury eco-resort on the southern tip of the Osa Peninsula, one of the most biodiverse regions in the world. Hidden within a private rainforest reserve bordering Corcovado National Park, the lodge is renowned for its commitment to sustainability. The team here pride themselves on providing guests with a deep connection to the natural environment.

The property offers a choice of 14 luxurious yet nature-integrated accommodations, including eco-friendly bungalows, open and airy guest rooms, and deluxe villas. Large screened windows allow the sights, smells and sounds of the rainforest to permeate your stay. Interiors are tastefully decorated with natural materials, local art, and handcrafted furniture and many of the accommodations feature private decks, outdoor showers, and plunge pools, offering panoramic views of the jungle canopy and the sparkling Pacific Ocean beyond.

Dining at El Remanso is an exquisite farm-to-table experience, with the lodge’s stunning restaurant serving fresh, local ingredients, many of which are grown on the property or sourced from nearby farms. For relaxation, book a massage or yoga session, often conducted in serene outdoor settings surrounded by the sounds of the jungle. The lodge’s infinity pool, set high above the rainforest, provides a perfect spot for unwinding and enjoying the breathtaking scenery.

The lodge’s extensive trail system allows guests to explore the rainforest at their own pace, with trails and a suspension bridge leading to waterfalls, hidden beaches, and scenic viewpoints. Guided tours are available for those interested in birdwatching, wildlife-spotting, or learning more about the region’s unique ecosystem, and a trip into the nearby Corcovado National Park is a must-do experience.
