Lapa Rios

Thatched-roof bungalows perched on a ridge above the Osa Peninsula, with no phones, no televisions, and walls that open to the rainforest breeze instead of air conditioning. This eco-lodge sits inside Costa Rica's last lowland tropical rainforest, and the whole operation runs on the principle that the landscape is the amenity. Board is included, excursions range from self-guided walks to dolphin swims, and the deck views over the Pacific make doing nothing feel productive.
