The Southern Caribbean coast is simply unique! Its wilderness plays with ecological options and adventure activities. All this, without the overwhelming crowds found in other tourist destinations…

Shawandha Lodge offers peaceful and relaxing eco-friendly accommodations in the heart of the South Caribbean coast of Costa Rica. With 14 tranquil rainforest bungalows nestled amongst the living tropical rainforest and beach environment, Shawandha Lodge has a "neo-primitive" concept with an artistic combination of noble woods, bamboo and palm, reinforcing the impression of being "at one with nature".

Located just 4 hours from San Jose and 6 kilometers from Puerto Viejo, our hotel is the ideal tropical rainforest beach resort for honeymoons, relaxation getaways, wellness travel and family vacations. The hotel is characterized for its tranquillity and the hospitality of its people, not to mention the exquisite and unique biodiversity (about 100 species of birds and over 200 types of flora).

The lodge sits on a 5 acre tract of secondary forest - preserving it's own eco system of wildlife. We are located 200 meters away from the pristine beach of Playa Chiquita, a white sand and clear water beach that can only be access by trails. Playa Chiquita is an active member of the Blue Flag Program, which works towards sustainable development at beaches.
