THE LA RANA FEELING
Close to nature. Cared for by people.
This is not a place to rush through. It is a place to listen, notice and return to at the end of every adventure.
01
Wake with the jungle
Birdsong and the distant call of howler monkeys set the rhythm of the morning.
02
Let nature be nature
Sunshine and tropical rain both belong here. Each brings the garden vividly to life.
03
Feel genuinely welcome
Personal attention, honest recommendations and thoughtful details make a stay feel easy.
BEYOND THE GARDEN
Explore Cahuita, then come home to calm
La Rana is set in a peaceful tropical setting near Cahuita, less than a 10-minute drive from the town centre.
While we are not directly on the beachfront, the lodge offers a quiet retreat to return to after exploring the Caribbean coast.
La Rana is easily accessible without a 4×4, and free on-site parking is available.
01 Cahuita & its National Park
Coastal rainforest, Caribbean village life and trails where the jungle meets the sea.
Local flavours, music and communities with a character all their own.
Sloths, monkeys, toucans and extraordinary plant life —sometimes before you even leave La Rana.
CONSCIOUS LIVING
Small choices, made with care
We are learning and improving as we go. Rather than making
grand claims, we focus on practical choices that respect the place around us.
01 Saltwater pool filtration instead
of a traditional chlorine system
02 Biodegradable maintenance products wherever possible
03 Thoughtful guest products and
mindful linen changes
04 Care for the tropical garden
and the wildlife that shares it

One of our best places to stay in Costa Rica, we didn't want to leave.
The house was very nice and clean. Additionally, the pool was great and breakfast was nice to.
