Welcome to Cielo Lodge:
A Luxury, Rainforest Eco Lodge in Costa Rica
Our authentic, eco-resort, adjacent to the Osa Peninsula, is a sanctuary for the soul.
We were just named one of the Best Costa Rica Hotels by Conde Nast Traveler 2024, and listed on their Hot List 2021, and the Travel+Leisure It List 2021.
Off-grid and off-the-beaten-path, our modern, minimalist eco-lodge is situated on a 380 acre private reserve of primary and secondary rainforest, overlooking the beautiful and serene waters of the Golfo Dulce in Southern Costa Rica.
Here, in this stunning ecotourism and sustainable travel destination,
encircled by rivers, waterfalls and the sea,
nature takes center stage and life is experienced outdoors.
There are so few places in the world today where you can enjoy nature, wildlife, and the jungle as they were meant to be—vibrant and untouched.
Cielo Lodge is one of them.
Accommodations
All of our 660 square foot suites are separate and private, and each offers stunning elevated views of the forest canopy. Relax on the outdoor terrace, rejuvenate in your outdoor rain shower, and restore your soul listening to the sounds of the rainforest that are just outside your suite.
Activities
When you are with us, we take care of everything. Our rates include guided, curated, and truly authentic rainforest and ocean experiences that showcase the best of the Golfito area and the local community. A dolphin tour, a mangrove tour, and guided waterfall hikes are just a few of the included activities available.
About Golfito
Golfito is an undiscovered treasure in the Southern Zone of Costa Rica. Off-the-beaten-tourist-path, and with boat access to the Sirena Station in Corcovado National Park, Golfito shares the same greenbelt as the Osa Peninsula. Its natural beauty teems with wildlife. It is an authentic Costa Rican town that caters to its local residents, making it a leader in community-based eco-tourism.

“The panoramic views are ever-changing depending on the season, weather, and time of day, so I never tire of looking at it. It’s also so calming, and beckons you to forget about your cell phone and worldly woes.”
“Tucked into the rainforest canopy with sweeping views of the bay and Pacific Ocean, this is as close as you’ll get to nature while still immersed in luxurious surroundings.”
TRAVEL + LEISURE - IT LIST 2021
“They are situated 1,060 feet above sea level, which means guests can experience ocean breezes, fewer insects, less heat and humidity, and dramatic views of the mountains and the seaside town of Golfito.”

“Just imagine watching and listening to the toucans and tree frogs, marveling at the sloth and laughing at the monkeys, all while relaxing in a resort-like setting.”
“Best Place to Stay in Costa Rica…Everything about this magical place was exceptional: the staff, service, meals, lodging, views, experiences, and location. Never have we felt so warmly welcomed and well-cared for at any other place we have stayed.”
“Cannot say enough good things about our experience. This place is a hidden treasure. We will visit again and bring friends with us next time! Just hope they are not booked up too far in advance :)”
“The service, spearheaded by General manager Catalina is unsurpassed. Our needs were imagined before we even had them.”
