Drake Bay Wilderness Resort

Drake Bay Wilderness Resort, on the point where the river meets the bay

Drake Bay Wilderness Resort sits on a point of land at sea level, with the ocean in front and the Agujitas River behind. No cars reach it: guests park in the village and walk 15 to 25 minutes over a footbridge across the river, or arrive by boat. It is one of our team's favourites in Drake Bay.

It suits adventurous couples and families who want to spend their days on the water and in the forest, and their evenings on a porch facing the sea.

Why we choose it

• Between river and sea. Swimming and kayaking start a few steps from your cabin, and the river makes arriving by boat simple.
• Sea views from the porch. Most room types face the sea, and the Honey Moon room adds a private balcony.
• Tours from the doorstep. Corcovado, Isla del Caño, whale watching and a night walk are all run from the resort, with English-speaking guides.

Rooms and views

The cabins are rustic with modern comforts: every room has a private bathroom and air conditioning, and there is Starlink wifi in the rooms. The Standard rooms sleep 2 to 3 with a sea view, and the Superior Plus rooms sleep 2 to 4, also facing the sea. The Estandar Familiar sleeps 3 to 4 for families. The Honey Moon room is for two, with a sea view from its private balcony.

On the property

The restaurant and bar are open-air, a good place to watch the sky change colour as the sun sets over the bay. There is a pool right at the edge of the sea, and well-marked trails start nearby. Meals lean on fresh local seafood, tropical fruit and homemade bread.

Location and getting there

Drake Bay is the way into the Osa Peninsula. Corcovado National Park and Caño Island are both close, for rainforest hikes, wildlife and some of the clearest water on the Pacific coast for snorkelling and diving. We can also arrange whale and dolphin watching, kayaking and horseback riding. Read more about Drake Bay.
