Have you ever visited a place so enchanting, so fascinating, so alive that no matter where you go in your life, or what you do from that point on, the memory of that particular journey and its adventures remain indelibly fixed in your mind? Maybe you are sitting in your office, or mowing your lawn, or sun-bathing on a beach back home, when all of a sudden that same feeling or energy of that place gently descends upon you out of the blue, and you find yourself drifting back into those recollections and reliving them as if it had happened just yesterday. Well, beware! This is one of the lasting side-effects of a vacation to Luna Lodge of Costa Rica, a secluded eco-lodge set in the pristine and captivating Osa Peninsula near Corcovado National Park in southwestern Costa Rica.

Whether hiking with the possibility of encountering rare wildlife, birdwatching, practicing yoga, or enjoying a therapuetic massage, Luna Lodge is truly a unique experience not found elsewhere in Costa Rica or the world!

Luna Lodge was constructed by Costa Rican people with the issues of conservation and preservation of the rainforest a priority. The lodge has been developed with creative initiative and commitment to the ideals of educating visitors to be environmentally and culturally sensitive.

The Bungalows

Amid tropical rainforest sits eight comfortable, cool, spacious, thatched roof bungalows.

Each bungalow provides two double beds, a private deck, and a private bathroom with shower and bathtub. The bungalows overlook vast tropical rainforest, and a honeymoon suite is also available with a king size bed.

The large windows and high thatched-palm roof provide for ample air circulation, while the walls of white cane add a decorative rustic touch. Each Bungalow also has its own private deck out front, also covered by the same palm roof for enjoyment in any weather. Since we are located up above the Carate River Valley, it is generally cooler and we almost always have a light breeze thus we barely have any insects. The environment is very pleasant.

One of the really attractive and unique parts of the design is the lush private garden just off the shower, smoothing the transition to the wilderness outside, yet keeping it all protected with a handcrafted stone wall.

Each bungalow has its own private deck where our guests enjoy relaxing and admiring the beauty surrounding the lodge.

The hacienda-styled rooms are a new addition to the lodge where we have three additional private rooms available closer to the main lodge. The view is spectacular and the toucans love to visit the neighboring trees in the afternoon.

The spacious colonial-style hacienda rooms have private baths and are designed to comfortably accomodate three with one double-bed and one single-bed.

The completely enclosed stand-up tents have two single beds and a balcony overlooking the canopy of the rain forest.
