About Tranquilo Lodge
A Hidden Sanctuary Between Rainforest and Ocean
Nestled high above the Pacific Ocean in the heart of Drake Bay, Tranquilo Lodge was created for travelers seeking something increasingly rare: authentic connection, extraordinary natural beauty, personalized hospitality, and true tranquility.
Surrounded by pristine rainforest and overlooking spectacular 180° ocean views, our intimate retreat offers a unique blend of adventure and comfort at the gateway to one of the most biodiverse regions on Earth.
From the moment you arrive, the rhythm of everyday life begins to fade. The songs of tropical birds replace alarms, sunsets become daily rituals, and the wild beauty of Costa Rica unfolds right before your eyes.
Our Story
Tranquilo Lodge was born from a passion for hospitality and a deep appreciation for the extraordinary beauty of Drake Bay.
When we first discovered this corner of Costa Rica, we knew we had found something truly special. The dramatic coastline, the untouched rainforest, the incredible wildlife, and the legendary sunsets created a feeling unlike anywhere else.
Our vision was simple:
Create a place where guests could experience the wild side of Costa Rica without sacrificing comfort, exceptional food, and personalized service.
Today, Tranquilo Lodge remains an intimate, owner-operated retreat where every guest is welcomed as more than just a reservation.

Nature at Your Doorstep
Few places in the world offer such extraordinary biodiversity.

Many guests tell us that some of their favorite wildlife encounters happen without ever leaving the lodge.
