Lapa Rios Rainforest Ecolodge

Lapa Rios Ecolodge overlooks the point where the Golfo Dulce meets the Pacific Ocean, matching everyone’s idea of paradise, with stunning sea views.

Set in 40 hectares of Central America’s last lowland tropical rainforest, Lapa Rios was designed in harmony with the surrounding forest and beach environment. The main lodge and bungalows line three ridges and are connected by walking paths and steps. Built over 350 feet above the sea, Lapa Rios catches the cooling tropical ocean and forest breezes.

The main lodge and the Brisa Azul restaurant soar 50 feet above the sea and, like the 16 private bungalows, are built of locally harvested materials and have intricately woven palm thatched roofs. Climb the lodge’s three-story circular stairway to overlook the forest canopy and breathtaking ocean vistas. Comfortable, locally made bamboo furniture and huge private decks aid relaxation amidst pristine nature.
