Accessible only by boat or light aircraft, Tortuga Lodge offers an authentic escape into one of Costa Rica's most spectacular natural landscapes. Set along the banks of the Tortuguero River, the lodge is made up of colourful, Caribbean-inspired buildings surrounded by beautifully maintained tropical gardens, creating a relaxed atmosphere that feels completely immersed in nature. With just 29 rooms and suites, the property has an intimate feel, while its riverside setting provides a front-row seat to the incredible wildlife that calls this region home, from monkeys and iguanas to toucans and countless other bird species.

Rooms are bright, spacious and designed with a blend of traditional Caribbean charm and contemporary comforts. The use of bright colours brings a sense of fun. Every room enjoys river views, alongside private terraces or balconies that invite guests to sit back and watch boats drift past as the rainforest comes to life around them. WiFi is provided along with the added touch of a turndown service. Additional thoughtful touches include rubber boots, walking sticks and umbrellas for the rainforest excursions.

Beyond the accommodation, unwind by the saltwater swimming pool, indulge in a spa treatment overlooking the canals or enjoy fresh Costa Rican cuisine with Caribbean influences in the open-air restaurant.

For those keen to explore, guided canal cruises, kayaking, wildlife walks, turtle-spotting (seasonal) and visits into Tortuguero National Park make this an exceptional base for discovering one of Central America's richest ecosystems.
