Luna Lodge Highlights
360-Degree Rainforest Immersion Without Electricity
Experience true disconnection in candlelit bungalows where howler monkey calls replace alarm clocks and open-air bathrooms blur the line between luxury and wilderness. Powered entirely by hydroelectric and solar energy, Luna Lodge proves that eco-luxury means gaining perspective, not losing comfort—especially when your private deck offers panoramic views of virgin rainforest meeting the Pacific horizon.
Wellness Center Suspended Between Ocean and Jungle
Begin each day with sunrise yoga on the spectacular hillside platform, where 1,600 square feet of covered space floats above the canopy with sweeping ocean views. This isn't just another hotel yoga class—it's a transformative practice led by resident instructors who understand how the jungle's energy amplifies meditation, movement, and healing in ways impossible to replicate elsewhere.
Gateway to Earth's Most Biodiverse Place
As National Geographic's proclaimed "most biologically intense place on Earth," neighboring Corcovado National Park puts you face-to-face with jaguars, tapirs, and four monkey species—all accessible via Luna's expert naturalist guides. Whether tracking endangered species at dawn or discovering hidden waterfalls on the property's private trails, every excursion reminds you why the Osa Peninsula contains 2.5% of the world's biodiversity.
