Drake Bay Getaway Resort

Drake Bay Getaway sits in the hills above Drake Bay on Costa Rica’s Osa Peninsula, one of the country’s least developed and most biodiverse regions.

The resort has only five elevated bungalows, making it one of the most intimate properties in this dataset. Large decks and sliding glass doors frame combinations of Pacific Ocean, jungle and Corcovado National Park views.

The bungalows are designed around passive cooling with cross-ventilation, ceiling fans and reflective roofs rather than conventional air-conditioning, reinforcing the property’s low-impact approach.

The real amenity is access to the Osa: guided trips to Corcovado, snorkeling or diving around Caño Island, hiking, kayaking and wildlife encounters shape the stay far more than traditional resort facilities.

Drake Bay Getaway is best for travelers who want nature and personalized hosting over polished resort infrastructure, especially those willing to trade a conventional luxury-hotel setup for rare access to one of Costa Rica’s wildest regions.
