The Southern Caribbean coast offers unique ecological options and adventure activities, without the overwhelming crowds found in other Costa Rica tourist destinations.

For the past 15 years, Shawandha Lodge has been offering peaceful and relaxing eco-friendly accommodations in the heart of the South Caribbean coast of Costa Rica.

With 14 tranquil rainforest bungalows nestled amongst the living tropical rainforest and beach environment, Hotel Shawandha Lodge has a “neo-primitive” concept. The design is an artistic combination of noble woods, bamboo and palm, reinforcing the impression of being “at one with nature”.

Located just 4 hours from San Jose and 6 kilometers from Puerto Viejo, the hotel is the ideal tropical rainforest beach resort for honeymoons, relaxing getaways and wellness travel.

The hotel is characterized for its tranquillity and the hospitality of its people, not to mention the exquisite and unique biodiversity (about 100 species of birds, over 200 types of flora and a gigantic Ceiba or Kapok tree).
