This package redefines the value of a luxury group vacation rental in Costa Rica.

All ages are welcome with this package.

Enjoy all-included excursions that include family-friendly wildlife observation, fueled by gourmet, seasonal cuisine served in your private open-air dining at the lodge or, on occasion at local spots and secluded beaches.

We will maximize your days, by removing the stress of coordinating, and dealing with details like transportation as you explore Costa Rica’s hidden-gems in Golfito, and the Golfo Dulce by the Osa Peninsula.

Cielo Lodge is a sanctuary for the soul in the rainforest-covered hills of Golfito, overlooking one of only four tropical fjords in the world. Our open-air, modern and minimalist architecture is the ideal setting and base for spiritual, wellness, movement and yoga retreats. 

Your group will enjoy exclusive access to open terraces in the tree-canopy and private jungle bungalows. Our private rainforest reserve will become your group’s private haven of extensive trails to waterfalls and natural plunge pools, a swimming pool overlooking the Golfo Dulce, tropical gardens, and a frog lagoon for nightly strolls. 

Our seasoned General Manager, Catalina’s deep connection to the surrounding nature, and its power to hold space for healing, will support your vision exclusively. Included in this package is her expertise in meditative forest bathing and barefoot grounding sessions in the rainforest. Recalibrate your spirit and take the hassle out of building an itinerary.

You and your group will drop into Catalina’s 25+ years of ecotourism experience and relationships with local healing arts experts, such as masseuses and yoga instructors.  

Birdwatching:

Costa Rica’s Top Birding Hotspot Package

Our boutique rainforest hotel has emerged as a premier Birding Lodge in Costa Rica, with undiscovered birdwatching hot-spots in both the rainforest and mangrove ecosystems of Golfito and the Golfo Dulce.

Enjoy world-class birdwatching right on-site, nestled on a private rainforest reserve with lush gardens, private terraces, look-out points, and forest trails for birdwatching. 

A certified naturalist will accompany you, ensuring that you see birds and wildlife that you otherwise may miss. They are local experts in identifying bird behavior of Costa Rica’s top birds by the Lodge in Cerro Adams and in the lowlands of the Golfo Dulce in surrounding mangroves, Río Coto, and the Esquinas and Sierra rivers.

All six canopy suites include binoculars, and there is a permanent telescope by our infinity pool that offers breathtaking views of Golfo Dulce and the jungle-covered mountains.

With this package, daily activities include a morning AND afternoon bird walk, as well as a mangrove tour, which offers excellent opportunities for spotting Kingfishers, Osprey and Roseate Spoonbills
