Stuff You Should Know

This is where minimalism meets monkey business – 30 designer bungalows scattered across a wilderness so vast it makes your average national park look like a backyard. The dramatic bridge sets the tone: you’re not just checking in, you’re crossing over to somewhere rather special. No fans in the restaurant means evening dining occasionally doubles as a sauna experience. While technically remote, that’s rather the point – and with thermal pools, zip lines, and 20 miles of trails, isolation has never been so entertaining.

Food + Drink On-site surprises

Elevated dining (literally) where fans are the missing ingredient

Two restaurants ensure you won’t go hungry in paradise: the main “lodge” perches in the canopy offering breakfast and dinner with views that almost make you forget about the lack of air circulation, while the pool restaurant handles lunch with considerably more breeze. The cuisine strikes a balance between international flair and Costa Rican soul, all served with a side of jungle orchestra. Being captive to on-site dining hardly feels like punishment – though you might want to time your fine dining around the evening heat.
