Las
Caletas Lodge
Corcovado
Osa Peninsula
Drake
Bay Costa Rica
For those looking
to escape from the hectic pace
of the city to a place of rest,
relaxation, tranquility and peace,
Las Caletas - Drake Bay, is for
you.
Located close to the Corcovado
National Park, Osa Peninsula,
the access to our lodge is only
possible by boat, riding or walking
in.
The small family
owned and operated lodge (the
owners are a Tico and Swiss couple)
is condusive to releasing the
pent-up stress of modern life
and soaking up the tropical ambiance.
The cabins and owners' house are
perched atop a steep ridge right
above a small private cove, with
expansive views of the Pacific
and the coastline north of Drake
Bay. Careful landscaping highlights
the natural setting, though electricity
is available in all the rooms
through noiseless solar panels
and a water-driven turbine. The
forest slopes gently down to the
lodge itself.
Las Caletas only
entertains a few guests at a time,
maximizing both attention and
privacy.
We are located
about two miles south of the small
town of “Agujitas”,
right above a beautiful swimming
and snorkelling beach. We can
be reached just by boat, hiking
or riding in. The beaches here
are called “Playas Las Caletas”,
which means “little beach”
or “cove” and is an
area full of small sand beaches,
divided by dark volcanic rocks.
The combination of rain forest
and ocean is unique. We are surrounded
by primary and secondary forest
and the remote location of the
area makes that wildlife is still
quiet intact. Around here you
can observe white-face capuchin,
howler and spider monkeys, sloths,
coatimundis, peccaries, opossums,
agoutis, toucans, pelicans, scarlet
macaws and many other birds. On
trips on the ocean dolphins, turtles,
flying fishes and stingrays are
very common.
We do offer a
total of five cozy cabins with
a total capacity for approximately
15 people.
All of our rooms come with private
bathrooms and hot water showers,
beds with mosquito nets, terraces
with seats or hammocks and 24
hours of electricity (provided
through noiseless solar panels
and a water-driven turbine).
DUPLEX
This building is located close
to our main buildings and offers

stairs and contains one double

of accommodation is perfect for

Hiking, swimming,
snorkeling, horseback riding .
. . Or just relax in the hammock
reading a book and enjoying the
great view! The surrounding area

offers something for everyone.
