If the idea of open-sided, thatched-roof bungalows with netted teak beds, private decks with hammocks, and secluded outdoor showers stirs you, you’ll get your fix here. Lapa Rios, built on high ground to catch the Pacific breezes (and provide glorious vistas), is set amid 1,000 acres of protected virgin rainforest. Both the building materials (hardwood, stone, bamboo) used for the 16 bungalows and many of the property’s staffers are indigenous to the area—but being ecologically conscious doesn’t mean sacrificing comfort here. The locally sourced cuisine is inventive; birds perch in a flowering tree right outside your bungalow; and the cool stone bathroom floors, the bamboo and teak furniture, and warm service can make you forget you’re doing the right thing.
Room to Book: Secluded bungalows 13 and 14 are ideal for a private retreat, though ones with lower numbers require less of an uphill hike.
Insider Tip:
Have the lodge arrange a picnic under the property’s hidden jungle waterfall.

This is by far one of the most beautiful hotels I have ever stayed in. Absolutely stunning views of the rain forest and nearby ocean. Great staff and amazing food. It is also so comforting to know that this property has done so much for the environment and local community -- make sure to check out the sustainability tour and the tour of the nearby Carbonera School. I'd go back in a heart beat.
