How cool is it to arrive to the resort by white water rafting?!
Food is a highlight, with produce grown organically. Activities include birdwatching, rainforest hikes, visiting the Cabécar people and ziplining. Or simply relax to the sounds of the rainforest. This is sustainable luxury at its best.

Hotels Own Introduction
A Hidden Sanctuary on the River
Pacuare Lodge by Böëna is unlike anything else—a secluded retreat carved into the lush embrace of Costa Rica’s rainforest. Tucked into a dramatic bend of the Pacuare River, one of the most scenic waterways in the Americas, this extraordinary eco-lodge was designed to blend into its natural surroundings while offering exceptional comfort.
A Place Where Nature Leads
Within a private 340-hectare protected reserve, just 20 luxury bungalows have been carefully placed to ensure complete immersion in the sounds, sights, and serenity of the jungle. Whether you're chasing heart-pounding adventure, quiet romance, or a profound reconnection with nature, this is a place where the wild restores and inspires.
Inspired by Culture, Crafted by Nature
The architecture reflects the spirit of the indigenous Cabécar people—minimalist, grounded, and respectful of the land—while Böëna’s signature approach to sustainable luxury shines through in every detail. Dining is an elevated experience with farm-to-table cuisine sourced directly from local gardens and the surrounding region.
More Than a Stay—An Awakening
Each suite is a private haven, offering refined comfort amid raw beauty. Expect world-class design, warm wooden interiors, and panoramic views that bring the rainforest to your doorstep. From the river's rhythm to the lodge’s soul-stirring setting, every moment here invites you to discover something new—both in the world, and within yourself.
