Located just south of the vibrant Caribbean town Puerto Viejo, a short walk from the pristine Playa Chiquita Beach, Hotel Shawanda Lodge represents a union of Costa Rica’s cultural heritage and rainforest-inspired luxury. Each of the 14 private bungalows is designed in a “neo-primitive” style, combining local hardwoods, bamboo, and palm to create a sense of oneness with nature. Indigenous-themed murals and artwork around the lodge pay homage to Costa Rica’s fascinating native peoples.
