El Remanso Lodge - Osa Peninsula / Corcovado Costa Rica

Located on Costa Rica's southwest Pacific side of the Osa Peninsula, this lodge is set in its own nature reserve in one of the world's most pristine and biodiverse rainforests. We work with the most discerning traveler, our holidays are ideally suited to couples or families, naturalists, photographers and all nature lovers wishing to escape mass tourism resorts. You will appreciate the personal treatment combined with our first hand knowledge of the forest, which ensures a thoroughly enjoyable stay. Watch monkeys leaping in the trees, exotic birds calling and the occasional big cat stalking wild peccaries - the observant hiker can find sloths, kinkajous, eagles, toucans and parrots. Beyond the forest is the near-deserted beach, where you can explore tide pools, take a dip, or just relax on the sand.

There are plenty of activities to enjoy – from boating trips to spot dolphins to monkey-inspired rappelling among waterfalls. But if the thrills of riding a zipline through the trees aren't for you, your porch offers an armchair view of the tropical birds, while the beachside pool and deck are great for a relaxing afternoon cocktail.

The food is well beyond what many all-inclusive resorts offer in terms of taste, freshness, variety and inventiveness, and the accommodations are simple but comfortable, with most enjoying lovely views of the jungle or the Pacific Ocean. On-staff naturalists and guides help you get to know the local flora and fauna, and the staff and delightfully helpful and friendly.
