Playa Nicuesa Rainforest Lodge is a tropical paradise constructed from naturally fallen trees and recycled materials. Here you can enjoy the sights and sounds of the rainforest from a hammock in the lodge’s special tree-top lodge, or retreat to the private terrace of deluxe cabins.

Evening meals are tropical-Latino inspired and appetizers are served under a thatched candlelit bar.

Access to the secluded Playa Nicuesa Rainforest Lodge is by water only and guests arrive by boat after passing through the dramatic mountainous scenery of the Pacific Coast.

From snorkelling, kayaking and paddle boarding to canopy walks, horse riding and wildlife viewing, the Oso Peninsula and Golfo Dulce region offers something for everyone and is home to 2.5% of the world’s biodiversity making it one of the most wildlife-rich places on the planet.
