Tranquilo Lodge

Drake Bay from a hilltop retreat

From a jungle hilltop, Tranquilo Lodge looks across the Drake Bay coastline toward Caño Island. Sunsets, forest and ocean give this adults-only, meal-inclusive ecolodge its sense of place, while freshwater and saltwater infinity pools offer a reason to leave an afternoon open. Lowland rainforest, mangroves and the sheltered bay put the lodge’s views within a wider Osa landscape worth exploring.

Explore the forest and marine landscape

Corcovado National Park outings can take you to nearby San Pedrillo or the more remote Sirena station, while Caño Island draws snorkelers and divers. ATV adventures, canoeing, kayaking, hiking, horseback riding, sportfishing and whale or dolphin outings widen the choices. Choose the experiences that appeal to you, then leave time to enjoy being back at the lodge.

Good food, yoga and a quieter afternoon

French, grill-barbecue and local dishes share the restaurant’s menu with vegan and gluten-free options. A light-fare cafe gives you a more casual pause, and the full-service poolside bar adds a tropical cocktail to pool time. Free daily yoga takes place in the fitness center; cooking or culture classes offer another way to engage with the place during a quieter day.

The spa and medical wellness center provide treatments, with in-room massage available from an à la carte beauty menu. Choose time for a treatment after a forest outing or beach day, allowing the afternoon to take a gentler shape. Discuss any particular wellness or allergy-related requirements when arranging your accommodation and services.

Comfort in the jungle, with arrival planned

Rooms have quality bedding, air conditioning, blackout curtains and turndown service, with verandas, minibars and room service for the hours you stay close. A tablet provides entertainment, fiber-optic high-speed Wi-Fi keeps you connected and free laundry is useful on an outdoors-focused trip. The Luna de Miel villa adds a private plunge pool and double showerhead. An accessible room is among the ground-floor accommodation; confirm your requirements alongside the lodge’s good-physical-condition expectation.

Access is by boat or plane, reserved in advance and subject to baggage restrictions; a car arrival is not available for this stay. Shuttle service from Drake airport and the landing beach supports the journey. Pay $25 plus 13% tax per room per day while onsite. Beverages from the restaurant or bar, arranged tours and spa services carry additional charges and are not included in that resort fee. Plan those details, then enjoy the combination of an active Osa itinerary and an adults-only hilltop retreat.
