Our Private Costa Rica Vacation Rental Turns
Moments Into Milestones
What Others Have Said About Our Rainforest Sanctuary Buyout Package — an all-included, exclusive eco resort takeover
The summer before her oldest was heading to college, Heidi Mitchell booked a group “final hurrah” at our lodge, and wrote about her hotel buyout experience for
The Wall Street Journal!
“Seeking adventure in solitude, two families book an entire rainforest lodge for themselves and spend a week zip-lining, jumping into rapids and boating through eerie mangroves. ‘Even the teens were impressed.’”
We are thrilled to enter our fourth year of operations, surpassing 100 Five-star Reviews on TripAdvisor from our incredible guests and larger group vacation takeovers.
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Magical Cielo Lodge!
“Our group included teenagers and adults - there is something for everyone here from lounging by the pool or hitting the beach to swimming in waterfalls and more active adventures! We hope to return again soon.”

Your group will enjoy exclusive access to open terraces in the tree-canopy and private jungle bungalows. Our private rainforest reserve will become your group’s private haven of extensive trails to waterfalls and natural plunge pools, a swimming pool overlooking the Golfo Dulce, tropical gardens, and a frog lagoon for nightly strolls.
Our team’s deep connection to the surrounding nature, and its power to hold space for healing, will support your vision exclusively. Included in this package are meditative forest bathing and barefoot grounding sessions in the rainforest. Recalibrate your spirit and take the hassle out of building an itinerary.

Birdwatching:
Costa Rica’s Top Birding Hotspot Package
Our boutique rainforest hotel has emerged as a premier Birding Lodge in Costa Rica, with undiscovered birdwatching hot-spots in both the rainforest and mangrove ecosystems of Golfito and the Golfo Dulce.
Enjoy world-class birdwatching right on-site, nestled on a private rainforest reserve with lush gardens, private terraces, look-out points, and forest trails for birdwatching.
A certified naturalist will accompany you, ensuring that you see birds and wildlife that you otherwise may miss. They are local experts in identifying bird behavior of Costa Rica’s top birds by the Lodge in Cerro Adams and in the lowlands of the Golfo Dulce in surrounding mangroves, Río Coto, and the Esquinas and Sierra rivers.
All six canopy suites include binoculars, and there is a permanent telescope by our infinity pool that offers breathtaking views of Golfo Dulce and the jungle-covered mountains.
With this package, daily activities include a morning AND afternoon bird walk, as well as a mangrove tour, which offers excellent opportunities for spotting Kingfishers, Osprey and Roseate Spoonbills
