<h2>Origins Lodge: A One-Of-A-Kind Luxury Eco-Hotel</h2>Nestled on a hillside in a remote part of northern Costa Rica, Origins Lodge is the ultimate boutique eco-hotel comprising only seven rooms. This exclusive, upscale lodge provides travelers who want to get away from the beaten path an eco-friendly opportunity to commune with nature while enjoying a luxurious experience.&nbsp;It's easy to see why Origins Lodge has been featured in publications like National Geographic before. It provides, perhaps, the ultimate boutique Costa Rican experience for travelers who make it here - tiny, remote, luxurious, wellness-orientated, and surrounded by rainforest with views stretching across the northern plains to Lake Cocibolca in Nicaragua. Expansive greenery, lively wildlife, and disconnection from the outside world await you at Origins.The lodge is located in northern Costa Rica, surrounded by forest and only two miles away from the Tenorio Volcano National Park. It sits on a road accessible by 4x4, and as soon as you arrive, you know you're somewhere special. Somewhere focused on nature, wellness, and providing an experience like no other for its guests. From the food you eat to the bed where you sleep, Origins makes an effort to showcase Costa Rican authenticity with everything it offers.&nbsp;<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/vacationscostarica-com/image/upload/v1652291078/origins_lodge_villa_king_bed_room_general_view_upala_929b21420a.jpg" alt="origins-lodge-villa-king-bed-room-general-view-upala.jpg" srcset="https://res.cloudinary.com/vacationscostarica-com/image/upload/v1652291079/thumbnail_origins_lodge_villa_king_bed_room_general_view_upala_929b21420a.jpg 234w,https://res.cloudinary.com/vacationscostarica-com/image/upload/v1652291080/small_origins_lodge_villa_king_bed_room_general_view_upala_929b21420a.jpg 500w,https://res.cloudinary.com/vacationscostarica-com/image/upload/v1652291079/medium_origins_lodge_villa_king_bed_room_general_view_upala_929b21420a.jpg 750w,https://res.cloudinary.com/vacationscostarica-com/image/upload/v1652291079/large_origins_lodge_villa_king_bed_room_general_view_upala_929b21420a.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw"><h3>A Relaxing, Peaceful Stay</h3>Origins welcome you with a green-roofed lobby and reception area. Vines and ivy dangle, merging the building into the hill and highlighting the hotel’s communion with nature. Both shared rooms and guest bungalows are designed with various wooden structures in circular shapes, inspired by indigenous styles from pre-Columbian times.The open-air public spaces allow breezes to flow wherever you are, from playing in the billiard room, enjoying the bar, or eating in the restaurant. Looking out across the infinity pool - on the terrace of the main building - you'll see rainforest-clad plains stretching off into the distance. The terrace is the perfect place to dine and enjoy the view, especially at sunset.Each of the seven guest bungalows comes exquisitely furnished, with vibrant earth colors clashing pleasantly and highlighting each other. The natural textures used in decorations and finishings bring out the best of the outdoors indoors, favoring sunlight and enhancing the feeling of being surrounded by nature.The canopy beds are handmade, and each bungalow provides a 180-degree view of the forest from the terrace. Sit here to warm up a chilly afternoon with the in-built wood fire, which heats your private terrace bathtub or jacuzzi. Other amenities in the rooms include WiFi, a safe, a coffee maker, binoculars (you can see into Nicaragua!), and more.<h3>A Farm-To-Table Dining Experience</h3>Origins offer a farm-to-table menu, with all products locally sourced or directly harvested from the hotel’s gardens or lakes. The chefs are trained in French cuisine and work tirelessly to create authentic, spontaneous, and unexpected meals. Flowers and forestalls make breakfast, lunch, and dinner a journey of flavors and sensations. Meals are included at Origins due to the remoteness of the hotel.<figure class="image"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/vacationscostarica-com/image/upload/v1652291077/origins_lodge_overview_upala_f91857d926.jpg" alt="origins-lodge-overview-upala.jpg" srcset="https://res.cloudinary.com/vacationscostarica-com/image/upload/v1652291078/thumbnail_origins_lodge_overview_upala_f91857d926.jpg 245w,https://res.cloudinary.com/vacationscostarica-com/image/upload/v1652291079/small_origins_lodge_overview_upala_f91857d926.jpg 500w,https://res.cloudinary.com/vacationscostarica-com/image/upload/v1652291079/medium_origins_lodge_overview_upala_f91857d926.jpg 750w,https://res.cloudinary.com/vacationscostarica-com/image/upload/v1652291078/large_origins_lodge_overview_upala_f91857d926.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw"></figure><h3>Nature and Wellness Combine</h3>Once at Origins, the focus is on nature and wellness. Explore the property's trails and gardens either on your own or with a naturalist guide who can tell you about the birds, insects, monkeys, and more that live around here. While learning about the local flora and fauna, pick fruit from the trees, and visit the beehives and the onsite farm. Then, if you're early enough, you'll see the chefs picking up their ingredients for the day.Origins also have its stables, home to several well-cared-for horses, meaning you can, if so inclined, traditionally explore the surrounding countryside on horseback. If you like fishing, there are up to seven lagoons where you can slow down the pace and catch tilapia, a local species - if you're eating fish in the restaurant, chances are it comes from here.If you want to go further, caves rappelling, tubing, kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, and more are available from Origins. Just ask at reception.And then there's the spa and the wellness center, perhaps the main focus of a stay at Origins. Enjoy an outdoor massage to stimulate your muscles, reconnect with your body, or partake in several other available treatments. Take a yoga class with an instructor, or find your quiet spot to rebalance your body surrounded by the sounds of the forest.&nbsp;<h2>Contact Us for More Information</h2>Origins provide world-class attention and service with its food, on-site activities, and spa treatments.
