Welcome to Iguana Lodge ~ Deep in the Costa Rican Rainforest on a magnificent beach, there exists a world that once was all there was...the surf rolls in, the moon rises, the fiery-billed aracaris sing while the howler monkeys call, and on the veranda they await you.

The Osa Peninsula is one of the most biologically intense places on our planet. It is the "Last Great Peninsula", truly untouched by the ravages of civilization. Here you will find ancient rainforests withover 350 species of birds, 115 species of reptiles, 750 species of trees and 10,000 species of insects...along with the fantastic 100,000 acre Corcovado National Park.

They are located on the best beach on the Osa. This six mile long, gorgeous, deserted stretch of beach is made for swimming, boogie boarding, and kayaking. You can kayak (or take a strenuous swim) to the nearby reef and snorkel for hours. The warm tropical water is sublime - around eighty-four degrees. You can walk for miles without seeing another person, but you can't avoid the scarlet macaws.

The Iguana Lodge offers three great and affordable lodging options:  the secluded Casitas, the towering Villa Villa Kula, and the elegant, upscale Club Rooms, excellent food, and a virgin six-mile stretch of sandy beach that is by far and away the most beautiful on the Osa (great for swimming or just romantic strolls).

The lodge has two restaurants:  one is at the Iguana Rancho, and the other is The Pearl of the Osa. At the Iguana Rancho they offer breakfast and dinner, and at the Pearl of the Osa they offer lunch and dinner as well. Guests staying in the Casitas or those purchasing a meal plan have breakfast and dinner included in the price of their stay. Club Room guests have breakfast included in the price of their stay, with meal plan options available.

At Iguana Lodge there are many things to do, or not, as you choose.

The beach is unbeatably gorgeous, the Playa Platanares Refuge is fascinating to hike, the birding is extraordinary, the yoga decks sublime, observing wildlife fascinating, riding bikes to town lovely, horseback riding timeless, kayaking out to the reef idyllic, swimming to the reef strenuous, boogie boarding exhilarating, a massage on your deck dreamy, reading up on the rainforest interesting, watching the sunrise epic, washing up at the Japanese bath house cleansing.

Tweaking photographs fulfilling, cooking classes inspiring, salsa dancing moving, strolling through the gardens serene, visiting the art gallery uplifting, hanging out in a hammock soothing, nighttime frog and turtle foraging adventuresome, afternoon volleyball invigorating, ping pong action-packed, spending time with loved ones living the good life.
