Costa Rica: Boutique Jungle Escapes

Where Adventure Meets Pure Bliss

Costa Rica isn’t just about “pura vida” — it’s about wild, lush, luxurious boutique adventures where the jungle sings you to sleep and each day brings another “I can’t believe this” moment.

At Edge of Wonder Travels Unlimited, we curate Costa Rica journeys that combine untamed nature with sophisticated comfort, perfect for travelers who want their eco-adventure with a side of barefoot luxury.

Here’s your guide to the best boutique jungle escapes in Costa Rica.

Top Boutique Jungle Retreats

Nayara Tented Camp, Arenal

Luxury safari-style tents perched above the rainforest with volcano views, private plunge pools, and resident sloths. (Yes, actual sloths. Be still, my heart.)

Insider Tip: Book a spa treatment in their open-air pavilion surrounded by tropical gardens.

Kasiiya Papagayo, Guanacaste

An off-grid, five-star eco-luxury camp where canvas suites, tree-shrouded yoga decks, and wild beaches await.

Insider Tip: Their “Forest Immersion” experience is pure magic — barefoot hikes, meditation, and zero cell service bliss.

El Silencio Lodge & Spa, Bajos del Toro

Hidden in a mystical cloud forest, this lodge offers eco-elegance with private waterfalls, farm-to-table dining, and guided nature rituals.

Insider Tip: Book a private “Elemental Immersion” tour to feel totally recharged by Mother Nature herself.

Origins Lodge, Upala

A wild and wildly luxurious hideaway with open-air bungalows, stargazing tubs, and fire-cooked gastronomy. This place feels like a portal to another world.

Insider Tip: Take a private cooking class using ingredients sourced from their gardens and forests.

Pacuare Lodge, Turrialba

Reachable only by whitewater rafting (or a hidden road), this eco-retreat sits deep in the jungle — perfect for couples seeking adventure and seclusion.

Insider Tip: Splurge on the Canopy Suite for a private suspension bridge entrance and riverfront plunge pool.
