These luxurious additions promise an immersive experience into the heart of Costa Rica’s pristine nature, blending sustainable comfort with upscale amenities.
A Sanctuary in the Canyons
Located near the serene Rio Blanco Canyon, the newly introduced West Bungalows span nearly 950 square feet under roof, providing a spacious retreat for guests. Each unit features a 170-square-foot open-air entrance terrace, equipped with a hammock, table, and chairs. This inviting space offers guests a private haven for dining, meditation, or simply soaking up the breathtaking sunset views.
At the other end of the bungalow, a 140-square-foot covered open terrace boasts a double outdoor shower and an oversized tub, perfect for a luxurious soak in the mineral-rich waters sourced from nearby hot springs.
Inside the West Bungalows
Designed to accommodate up to four guests, the interior of the West Bungalows covers approximately 590 square feet of enclosed space. This includes a bedroom, a lounge area for relaxation, and a coffee station featuring locally sourced Costa Rican coffee. The blend of traditional and modern is showcased through a handmade traditional coffee maker set against the backdrop of a sleek, contemporary bathroom.
Modern Amenities in a Rustic Setting
The bungalows are equipped with an array of modern conveniences designed to enhance the guest experience. These include a minibar, yoga mats for a serene practice, Wi-Fi to stay connected, and a concealed 65-inch UHD TV for entertainment. The central air-conditioning ensures comfort while eco-friendly bath amenities sourced from local women-owned businesses add a touch of local luxury.
Beyond the Bungalow
Guests of the West Bungalows are treated to a plethora of inclusive activities. Complimentary morning yoga classes, guided hikes, and immersive experiences at La Huerta, the hotel’s organic mandala garden, are available to all who stay. In-room dining options also allow guests to savor meals in the privacy of their bungalows, enjoying flavors as rich and authentic as their surroundings.
Culinary Delights High Above the Canopy
Rio Perdido’s commitment to sustainability extends to its food and beverage offerings, which feature local dishes made with consciously sourced ingredients. The culinary team employs practices of honest and humane circular agriculture, ensuring that every meal is both delicious and ethically prepared. A unique dining experience awaits on the floating platform, where guests can enjoy a dinner for two suspended 165 feet above the flowing river, adding a thrilling element to their gastronomic journey.
An Array of Outdoor Adventures
The addition of the West Bungalows complements the existing 30 stilted bungalows nestled among 20 miles of walking, running, and cycling trails. Guests can indulge in the natural thermal river and bathing pools or seek adventure in zip-line tours, white water tubing, and extensive trail explorations offered within the secluded thermal canyon.
