Playa Cativo is uniquely positioned to offer both jungle and marine experiences in the Osa Peninsula - Costa Rica's wild frontier, described by National Geographic as the most biologically intense place on the planet. The lodge is only accessible by boat, and its 18 stylish rooms have been created using reclaimed hardwood and colourful, local tiles. Their open-air design provides glorious 180-degree views of the emerald forest and calm, blue waters of the Golfo Dulce.
Wake to the memorable sound of birds, tree frogs and howler monkeys, before enjoying morning coffee on your private terrace. The all-day dining restaurant, El Gavilan, sits by the inviting swimming pool and overlooks the bay. Many ingredients are grown on the onsite organic farm and, while lunches feature colourful salads, zingy ceviche and moreish tacos, dinners feature freshly-caught seafood including jumbo shrimps and red snapper. Enjoy beautiful sunsets at El Gazebo Bar with a fine selection of signature cocktails.
