Lapa Rios combines David Attenborough wilderness with honeymoon comfort. Jungle suites are boutique hotel luxe and come with wonderful from-the-bed views: through floor-to-ceiling windows over rolling, rainforest-carpeted hills to the shimmering blue Golfo Dulce tropical fjord.

The Briza Azul restaurant, set on a decked terrace with more glorious sea views, serves up classic Costa Rican dishes, with dock-to-dish fish and seafood, and fruit and vegetables from its own garden.

The lodge’s eco-credentials are impeccable; it generates its own natural gas (from kitchen-scrap-fed pigs), has a solar heating system and has been supporting local schools for over 25 years.

Surrounding area

The lodge sits on the edge of remote and wild Corcovado National Park – the largest tract of primary tropical forest on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica. The reserve teems with wildlife – from rare, brilliantly-coloured, wren-sized manakins to curly-tailed coatimundis, capuchin monkeys and raucous scarlet macaws.

There’s nowhere north of Brazil where you’re more likely to see jaguars.
