Laguna Vista Villas

Laguna Vista Villas, above the lagoon at Playa Carate

Laguna Vista Villas sits on a small peninsula overlooking a freshwater lagoon and Playa Carate, the gateway to Corcovado National Park. From the decks you see rainforest, lagoon, beach and ocean all at once. It suits couples and families who want to explore Corcovado by day and come back to a private plunge pool and a sunset in the evening.

Why we choose it

• A plunge pool with a four-part view. The Toucan and Lapa villas each have a plunge pool looking over the rainforest, the lagoon, the beach and the ocean.
• Wildlife on the lagoon. Kayaks are there for the freshwater lagoon, where pelicans and roseate spoonbills feed, and crocodiles show up on the night tours.
• An accessible room. The Eco Room is wheelchair friendly, worth knowing on a peninsula of rough trails and steep paths.

Rooms and views

The Toucan Double Villa has a king bed, and an extra single can be added. The Lapa Family Villa has 2 king beds, with room for an extra single as well, so it suits a family. Both have a private plunge pool and the full view over the rainforest, lagoon, beach and ocean, and a hammock on the deck for sunset.

The Eco Room has a queen bed and looks into the rainforest, and it is the wheelchair-friendly option.

On the property

The infinity pool looks out over the lagoon and the sea. The restaurant serves dinner with a view of the lagoon and the ocean. There is Wi-Fi by satellite and a small guest library for a quiet afternoon. Parrots, toucans and hummingbirds visit the gardens, so the decks double as bird hides.

Location and getting there

Playa Carate is the southern gateway to Corcovado National Park. From here you can hike the Corcovado trails, rivers and waterfalls, go horseback riding, look for nesting turtles on the beach, or go fishing for snapper and roosterfish. We arrange your transfers and guided days. See more of Carate.
