Aguila de Osa is a beautiful eco-lodge on Costa Rica's wildife-rich Osa Peninsula.

Aguila de Osa is an exquisite rainforest and marine adventure lodge set on jungle-covered hillsides overlooking the tranquil waters of Drake Bay. The lodge has easy access to the lush Osa Peninsula’s natural highlights, including Corcovado National Park and the Caño Island Biological Marine Reserve.

There are a dozen spacious, thatched wooden cabins with private terraces, ceiling fans and views of the ocean. The open-air restaurant serves local fresh food, and the bar is perched on the rocks above the river.

You can take part in a choice of adventurous outdoor activities, including world-class sport fishing, scuba diving, snorkelling, bird-watching, hiking, beach trips, kayaking and mangrove estuary tours.

Aguila de Osa makes commitments to sustainability, including waste recycling, water conservation and sourcing food locally. The lodge also supports the Corcovado Foundation’s conservation and community work.
