Aguila de Osa

Drake Bay

Good to Know

Aguila de Osa offers a rustic yet comfortable retreat in Drake Bay, Costa Rica, blending seamlessly with the Osa Peninsula's rainforest and Pacific landscape. Guests enjoy open-air, bay-view dining featuring fresh local ingredients and Costa Rican flavors. The lodge provides access to diverse adventures, from guided rainforest excursions and Corcovado National Park hikes to snorkeling, diving, and seasonal whale watching. Committed to responsible tourism, Aguila de Osa utilizes solar power and supports local conservation efforts.


Bay-view meals and Osa adventures

An open-air meal with Drake Bay spread out before you is a fitting introduction to Aguila de Osa. Costa Rican flavors, fresh local ingredients and the sounds of nature connect dinner with the peninsula you have come to explore. The bay panorama gives you a reason to stay at the table awhile, even after a day full of discoveries.

Settle into the natural surroundings

Balcony and terrace time brings another way to enjoy the lodge. Spacious rustic rooms and private cabins blend with the setting, pairing comfortable beds and modern amenities with a place to unwind. Selected accommodations open onto rainforest or ocean outlooks, so compare the category and outdoor space before choosing how to make this part of your trip.

Standard, Deluxe and suite options are connected with different stay lengths. Coffee service and fans support the hours indoors, while Master Suites add a living room if a separate place to sit is part of the space you want.

Follow the forest and the water

A day in the rainforest can lead to waterfalls and opportunities to look for wildlife. Corcovado National Park gives nature enthusiasts another compelling reason to include Drake Bay, with hiking and birdwatching allowing you to take the landscape at a different pace. Guides help open up those environments, while the lodge’s staff can assist with the arrangements.

Snorkeling and diving around nearby coral reefs turn attention beneath the water, and kayaking adds another coastal perspective. A stay can combine these marine experiences with time in the forest, letting different days reveal different sides of Osa rather than repeating a single kind of outing.

Humpback-whale tours provide an opportunity during migration season. Choose your dates with that seasonal possibility in mind, while leaving any sighting to nature. Then return to the lodge for the familiar pleasures of a comfortable room and a bay-view meal.

A responsible-tourism approach you can understand

Solar power, recycling initiatives and support for local conservation give the lodge’s environmental commitment practical form. Friendly, attentive staff add personal help with questions and plans. Aguila de Osa suits travelers who want rustic comfort, a scenic place to dine and access to the peninsula’s variety, with time left over to enjoy the surroundings at the lodge.

Why make Aguila de Osa your Drake Bay base?

  • Rustic rooms and cabins keep the rainforest and Pacific landscape of the Osa Peninsula close throughout a Drake Bay stay.
  • Compare spacious rooms and private cabins for your preferred comfort and outlook; private balconies and terraces vary by category, with forest or ocean scenery part of the appeal.
  • Make meals a pleasure of the setting: the open-air restaurant serves Costa Rican flavors and fresh local ingredients with panoramic bay views and nature sounds.
  • Guided rainforest trips, wildlife discovery, waterfalls, kayaking, hiking and birdwatching give you several ways to experience the peninsula on land and water.

  • Humpback-whale outings are tied to migration season; plan your dates around that opportunity while leaving each sighting to nature.
  • Solar power, recycling and support for local conservation give the lodge’s responsible-tourism approach a practical foundation.
  • Friendly staff provide personalized assistance with questions and plans, supporting a trip that combines rainforest and marine outings.

This place exceeded all expectations. We love this lodge, the people, the food, everything. they are so well organized. they took really great care of us.

Greg M.

Absolutely lovely and I appreciate the remote location however no air conditioning made it hard to sleep. The food quality and choice were excellent however the cooking was always overcooked so entries were dry

Valerie C.

Aguila de Osa was fabulous! We had a great room with a wonderful view (Room 1) and everything about it was perfect. In particular the food was of the highest quality. There was food, coffee, tea and drinking water available 24/7 in the reception area. The laundry service was quick and efficient. Although there was no air con the fans worked well. The tours offered were also of good quality with knowledgeable guides. As far as accommodation was concerned this was the highlight of our trip.

Wow!!!

Robert P.

Amazing staff and food , very welcoming staff, accommodating. Only issue with the hotel unit - all windows are screened only, do during heavy rains our bed got wet , occasional spray into the room And be prepared it’s an uphill walk to the units so not for bad knees or heart or lung conditions!! But overall wonderful placec

James K.

The only reason I marked the comfort down slightly is because of no A/C. While I understand why they don't have it and hearing it would have ruined the sounds of the jungle around, it was HOT. The fans definitely helped but sleeping at night was really tough. However, the location, the staff and the food made up for it.

Eileen K.

Magnificent - everything was perfect and way beyond my expectations. Our room at the top of the hill had a magnificent view - I loved hanging out in the hammock. The dining area and "lounge" was beautiful, I loved the Happy Hour. ALL the food was exceptional. Aguila de Osa is true paradise! Even though it was very hot w/o air-conditioning, I loved it the best!

Jacek T.

Ted W.

What could be better? AdO is paradise on Earth.

Guest review

Excellent hotel. Just one comment, too many steps to climb to reach our room which had excellent veranda with hammock and view ( 79 steps in all !! and three slopes). We were OK but a lot of people of our age would struggle. I think you need to warn people in advance.

Guest review

The best part of a great vacation. The people at Aguila de Osa were outstanding. I really want to go back and probably will do so and spend more time.
