"Set on a 111-acre rainforest estate near Tenorio National Park, this off-the-grid eco-luxe retreat comprises six circular one-bedroom lodges and a three-bedroom treetop lodge that blend into the landscape with green roofs and natural materials; each unit has a private hot tub, canopy bed and indoor-outdoor shower. The property runs robust sustainability initiatives—no single-use plastics, an organic garden and 25 beehives supplying the restaurant and spa, on-site composting, solar water tanks and a water-treatment system for reuse—and offers naturalist-led walks where guests may spot tree frogs, toucans and other wildlife." - Jennifer Flowers
"An off-the-grid, eco-conscious rainforest estate near Tenorio National Park that offers only a handful of accommodations—six one-bedroom circular lodges and a three-bedroom treetop villa—designed to blend into the landscape with green roofs and natural materials. Each lodge features private hot tubs, canopy beds, and indoor–outdoor showers, and the property emphasizes sustainability with no single-use plastics, an organic garden, 25 beehives, on-site production of fragrant bath products from wild ylang-ylang, composting stations, solar water tanks, and a treatment plant that reuses soapy water for irrigation. Accessible by a private heliport or a long scenic drive, the lodge is a base for naturalist-led walks to spot tree frogs, toucans, and other wildlife." - Devorah Lev-Tov
"Fantastically secluded in the mountainous interior of northern Costa Rica, Origins Luxury Lodge isn’t one for subtlety. Its elevated perspective gives it a panoramic view that takes in the rainforest’s treetops, the vast Lake Nicaragua, and the distant volcanoes. Its unique construction is eye-catching, even though its natural materials blend harmoniously with its surroundings. And the experience aims to create big, bold memories, by offering everything from horseback jungle tours to night-time wildlife tours." - Le Guide MICHELIN
