Aguila de Osa Inn Highlights

Set on cliffs overlooking Drake Bay and the pristine waters of the Osa Peninsula, Aguila de Osa offers an extraordinary blend of rainforest and marine adventures in one of Earth's most biodiverse regions. This intimate 13-room eco-lodge, accessible only by boat, provides the perfect gateway to Corcovado National Park and Caño Island while maintaining exceptional comfort with handcrafted hardwood furnishings, open-air dining, and the warm hospitality that defines Costa Rica's finest small lodges.

Gateway to Two Natural Wonders

Aguila de Osa's strategic location offers unparalleled access to both Corcovado National Park—National Geographic's "most biologically intense place on Earth"—and Caño Island Biological Reserve's world-class diving. Unlike lodges requiring long transfers, you're perfectly positioned for morning hikes among jaguars and tapirs, then afternoon snorkeling with sea turtles and rays, all returning to your clifftop sanctuary by sunset.

Adventures Without the Upcharge

While the all-inclusive plan covers your gourmet meals, Aguila goes beyond by including complimentary kayaks for river and bay exploration, plus access to private hiking trails where you might spot all four monkey species before breakfast. The lodge's own naturalist guides, dive instructors, and boat captains ensure quality excursions, whether you're tracking rare birds at dawn or landing that trophy sailfish.

Clifftop Dining Above River and Ocean

The open-air Great Room restaurant sits dramatically over the Agujitas River with sweeping ocean views, creating an unforgettable dining experience where scarlet macaws fly past during breakfast and bioluminescence sparkles below at dinner. With communal dining that encourages story-swapping among adventurers from around the world, cocktail hour becomes a highlight as guests share the day's wildlife encounters over Chef Dixon's fresh Costa Rican cuisine.
