La Leona Lodge

0 1 2 3

Tent-cabins in an idyllic jungle setting by the sea: a fabulous option for those wishing to be surrounded by nature.

La Leona Lodge is a simple beachfront lodge located five minutes from the entrance to Corcovado National Park, within large forested grounds with numerous trails to explore. The setting is idyllic and it’s a fabulous option for those wishing to be surrounded by nature.

The simple, beachfront accommodation consists of 16 raised tents with wooden outer structure. Private decked verandas offer an excellent vantage point from which to survey the abundance of wildlife.

Several of these tented cabins are on the beach itself while others are situated just behind, and others still are set back high up in the forest. All have their own garden bathroom with outdoor shower, or you can use the shared facilities in a bathroom house. Creature comforts are few here, but it is an easy-going and sociable place where guests swing in their hammocks with a cold drink and listen to the exotic chorus of jungle sounds.
