Playa Cativo Lodge

Eco Luxury Lodge across the Osa Peninsula into the heart of the Costa Rica tropics

Experience an immersive journey deep into the heart of the Costa Rica tropics at Playa Cativo Lodge. Imagine clear waters of serene turquoise and emerald palettes surrounded by lush and incredibly biodiverse tropical rainforests. Hidden amidst the paradise of the Osa Peninsula, our luxury boutique eco lodge is an intimate haven offering elegant accommodations, world-class amenities, and endless opportunities for the perfect balance of relaxation and adventure.

Here, guests enjoy the only luxury hotel in the area with immediate access to the Golfo Dulce, rooms cooled by ocean breezes, and delicious farm-to-table cuisine. With its lush vegetation, exotic wildlife, and private beach, it is the perfect place to get away, relax, and reconnect with loved ones.

Rooms at Playa Cativo were designed for those seeking a serene and secluded retreat. Surrounded by lush jungle and offering breathtaking views of the sparkling Golfo Dulce, each casita provides a private balcony where you can immerse yourself in nature’s beauty. With its convenient central location and the delightful treat of fresh juice every day, every casita promises an unforgettable experience.

Eighteen guest rooms are spread across the main house, and casitas dot the property. Accommodations are tucked away from each other and feel very private.

Eight tucked-away, beautifully decorated casitas offer roomy amenities and private plunge pools perfect for a relaxing mid-day swim with your partner. And when night falls, enjoy a romantic dinner under the stars.

Surrounded by Costa Rica’s Osa Peninsula, named “the most biologically intense region on earth” by National Geographic, the resort is only accessible by boat and is encompassed within 1,000-acre of Private Nature Reserve in Golfo Dulce amidst Piedras Blancas National Park. Once you step off the free boat transportation provided by the hotel, your real adventure begins.
