Aguila de Osa: The Ultimate Nature Experience
This eco-lodge in Drake Bay offers couples, families, friends, and solo travelers the ideal place to stay while enjoying the pristine rainforests of the Osa Peninsula. If you're also into scuba diving, you've found paradise at Aguila de Osa!
Guests can enjoy complimentary hiking trails and kayaks to explore the river and surrounding bay area. In addition, you can schedule activities like snorkeling or diving at Caño Island, zip lining, sport fishing, and more can be arranged with hotel staff (at an additional cost). And don’t forget the beach – Drake Bay is just 400 meters away on a small trail, or you can take a peaceful 20-minute walk through the jungle to get to other beaches.
We love Aguila de Osa for its eco-credentials and cozy, rustic atmosphere. It's one of the friendliest, best-run hotels in Costa Rica, a legacy of its association with the Greentique brand that its part of. If you want more info on this eco-lodge, or have any questions, contact our expert travel advisers for help.
How to Get There
Aguila de Osa is reachable mainly by boat. You can walk along a jungle trail from Drake Bay, crossing a cool bridge over the river, but you won't - not with your luggage. So a boat it is, which is reason number one why this is an excellent eco-lodge to check out. However, the adventure starts before you arrive!
You'll get there from Drake Bay Airstrip, where they'll pick you up from your flight and take you to the beach to hop on your boat. Or you can take a longer boat ride from Palma Sur. Either way, it's an adventure getting here to an eco-lodge that's all about the experience.
Rustic Luxury in the Rainforest
Aguila de Osa’s property sits on 28 acres of protected rainforest. The hotel’s 11 guest rooms and two suites sit on lush, green slopes overlooking the Pacific Ocean and the offshore Caño Island.
The guest rooms highlight Aguila de Osa's rustic style, with natural hardwood furnishings and basic amenities like ceiling fans, minibar, and warm showers. Be aware the rooms have no TVs or A/C. Aguila de Osa is about connecting with nature. The way the rooms are constructed allows breezes to flow, negating the need for A/C in any case.
Rocking chairs and hammocks line the patios with the most stunning ocean and jungle views. If connectivity is essential during your stay, complimentary WiFi is available in the rooms, the main rancho, and the restaurant area.
A Meal Plan
Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are included at Aguila de Osa. Eating here is a fascinating experience, as they try to create a communal experience where guests eat together, get to know each other, and swap stories. Cocktail hour before dinner is a highlight for many, with music, appetizers, and beverages. Then, everyone gathers together to share the day’s exciting encounters. Any dietary restrictions or food allergies can be accommodated with notice to the hotel staff. Their homemade bread is a favorite of ours!
