Set on 1,000 acres of private rainforest and framed by the Piedras Blancas National Park, Playa Cativo offers an unparalleled eco-luxury experience. This exclusive beachfront lodge, accessible only by boat, provides an idyllic escape on the pristine shores of Golfo Dulce in southern Costa Rica.
The design captures a harmonious balance between sustainability and sophistication, featuring six elegant beachfront guest rooms and a cosy beachside casita, each offering panoramic ocean views. Thoughtful touches extend to a freshwater pool, a gourmet farm-to-table restaurant, and an on-site working farm. The lodge also serves as a hub for adventure, offering activities such as rainforest hikes, birdwatching, paddleboarding, snorkelling, and dolphin watching.
Dining at the Gavilán Restaurant is a culinary highlight. Guests enjoy locally inspired dishes crafted with organic produce from the farm, fresh seafood, and grass-fed Costa Rican beef, all while soaking in sweeping Pacific views.
With its secluded location and bespoke services, Playa Cativo is also an enchanting venue for destination weddings or honeymoons. Whether seeking relaxation or adventure, this retreat promises an unforgettable experience immersed in nature.
