The Lodge

Encanta La Vida is a jungle lodge located on the tip of the Osa Peninsula in Cabo Matapalo. It is surrounded by tropical rainforest with a corridor of forestry reserve connecting to the Corcovado National Park. We are proud to have been the first hotel established in this exotic part of Costa Rica. We remain committed to providing unique and adventurous travel options in the comfort of an intimate, beautiful tropical jungle lodge. Enjoy a remote jungle vacation with all the amenities you need to ensure an unforgettable get away.

The lodge property stretches from the shores of Pan Dulce beach to a virgin jungle backdrop. Our beach is accessed through a trail that weaves through Cacao (chocolate) trees and mango trees. We offer a variety of accommodation options to suit any taste and group size: whether you are looking for accommodations for a few nights, or for an extended period of time we offer a unique enjoyable Costa Rican experience at Encanta La Vida.

Wake up to the sounds of the rainforest. Daily visits from Scarlet Macaws, Toucans, 4 types of monkeys and many other types of exotic wildlife are certainly not uncommon and will be seen throughout the day. Fall asleep to the symphony of sounds orchestrated by the jungle and ocean.

The main lodge of Encanta La Vida consists of a large open-aired kitchen and dining area, office, bathrooms. There is also a pool with lounge chairs where you can relax and enjoy the garden views by day or star gaze at night.

“Encanta La Vida Lodge” has been hosting adventure-seekers from all over the world since 1989. Visit “The Encanta la Vida Story” to learn about our beginning.
