Pacuare Lodge by Böëna

Pacuare River, Costa Rica

Wilderness + Safari Nature Lodge Michelin Key
Worth Building Around

You can arrive by raft. It sets the tone before you've even checked in. Tucked into a protected bend of one of Costa Rica's wildest rivers, this jungle lodge is built around immersion in the forest. Suites range from garden bungalows to a treetop canopy villa accessible only by suspension bridge. Dinners are candlelit and farm-to-table, sourced from the lodge's own organic farm. The sustainability credentials hold up: solar and hydroelectric power, 840 acres of protected rainforest, and a staff drawn entirely from neighbouring communities. Remote, intentional, and reached by river.

What It Is

An off-grid jungle immersion with a dramatic whitewater raft entrance.

What It Is Not

Suitable for under 12s (save until they can whitewater raft in).
