Pacuare Lodge PACUARE RIVER, COSTA RICA


Pacuare Lodge is an eco-luxury sanctuary set along the wild and beautiful Pacuare River in Costa Rica’s rainforest. Reached either by whitewater rafting or a scenic mountain drive followed by a thrilling canopy descent, the journey to the lodge is an adventure in itself, capturing both the exhilaration and serenity of Costa Rica’s natural world. Set within an 840-acre private reserve, the lodge


offers just 20 suites and bungalows, each carefully crafted to reflect the traditions of the Cabécar, Costa Rica’s largest Indigenous group. Handbuilt using locally sourced materials, the open-air architecture immerses guests in the sights and sounds of the jungle while maintaining refined comfort. From treetop suites with private plunge pools to riverside decks, every space is designed in harmony with the landscape. Dining at Pacuare Lodge is an elegant


expression of Costa Rica’s tropical abundance. The lodge’s farm-to-table philosophy is rooted in sustainability, with ingredients sourced from its own organic garden and nearby producers. Guests can enjoy candlelit meals by the river or private


rainforest dinners, where each dish tells a story of place, season and culture. Adventure is at the heart of the Pacuare


experience. Guests can raft the exhilarating river rapids, explore waterfalls on canyoning excursions, zip-line through the lush forest canopy or hike with expert naturalists to discover rare wildlife, including toucans, sloths and even elusive jaguars. Cultural visits to nearby Cabécar communities offer an opportunity to engage with the region’s living heritage. Awarded two Michelin Keys, Pacuare Lodge is


recognised among the world’s finest hotels for its outstanding service, environmental leadership and immersive guest experiences. As part of the Böëna Lodges collection — which


also includes Lapa Rios Lodge (one Michelin Key), Monteverde Lodge, Cloud Forest Lodge and Tortuga Lodge — guests can combine their stay with other unforgettable locations across Costa Rica. Travel between lodges is seamless thanks to XPLORE Air, Böëna’s private flight service offering breathtaking aerial views of the country’s diverse ecosystems.
