Where Drake Bay’s rainforest meets the coast
At Copa de Arbol Beach and Rainforest Resort, Drake Bay’s forest and coast share the stage. Rainforest surrounds the resort, beaches draw you toward the water, and the accommodation gives you a choice of how closely to bring each landscape into your stay. You can look out from an oceanfront bungalow or settle into a private jungle cabin, choosing which landscape you want closest to your accommodation.
Choose your own outlook
Oceanfront bungalows make the coast a defining part of the experience, pairing ocean views with the sound of the waves. Jungle cabins offer a more secluded setting among the rainforest’s colors and sounds. Spacious interiors, high-end furnishings and modern comforts give both choices an inviting place to settle in, with a private terrace or balcony extending the stay into the surrounding landscape.
The infinity pool looks out over the coastline, with loungers inviting you to make an afternoon of the view. After a day on a trail or in the water, it is an appealing place to return to: a swim, some time to relax and no need to hurry into another activity. Massage treatments offer another way to unwind, with light or deep-tissue options that include Shiatsu, Swedish and neuromuscular techniques.
Meals with the landscape around you
The open-air restaurant makes the rainforest and ocean surroundings part of dining at Copa de Arbol. Its cooking draws on local flavors, with fresh seafood, organic produce and locally sourced ingredients contributing to the experience. A meal here can become one of the pleasures of staying at the resort, giving you time to enjoy the setting as well as the food.
Follow Drake Bay’s sense of adventure
Guided hikes in Corcovado National Park lead into dense rainforest, with opportunities to look for monkeys, toucans and sloths. The park’s trails and biodiversity give nature enthusiasts a compelling reason to include Drake Bay in a Costa Rica trip. Along the coast, snorkeling and diving open another world to explore, while kayak and paddleboard rentals offer ways to spend time on the water at your own pace.
Rainwater harvesting, waste reduction and support for local conservation are part of the resort’s daily operations. Give your days room for forest exploration and marine adventures, then keep an afternoon for the pool or your terrace. Copa de Arbol’s appeal is how closely the rainforest and coast remain woven into the stay, including the quieter hours you spend at the resort.
