Get in touch with nature and meet the wildlife that abounds at Playa Cativo, a boutique beachfront luxury eco-lodge on a 1,000-acre private reserve in Golfo Dulce, one of only four tropical fjords in the world. Accessible only by boat, Playa Cativo is a true escape from the rest of the world, producing hydro-powered electricity and growing food for its El Gavilán Restaurant in its own organic garden. Explore the rainforest, hike from the beach to waterfalls into the surrounding Piedras Blancas National Park, and lookout for some of the 350 species of birds. All rooms boast ocean views, king-size beds and bathrooms with hot-water rain showers.
