Pacific Edge Eco Lodge

Overview

Pacific Edge is an eco-conscious and distinctive Bed and Breakfast situated 10 minutes south of Dominical and 15 minutes north of Uvita. The property is conveniently close to several public beaches, restaurants, and excursion opportunities along the coastal highway. Perched on a finger ridge 675 feet above the Pacific Ocean, each cabin offers a rustic, open-air design with screened windows that invite fresh mountain breezes.

Guests can enjoy the natural soundtrack of toucans, parrots, and daily visits from local monkeys.

The Space

Pacific Edge features four private bungalows positioned along the mountain edge. Each open-air cabin is screened and includes:

• King-size bed(s) depending on cabin size
• Private bathroom
• Kitchenette with a two-burner cooktop, small refrigerator, coffee maker, and complimentary Costa Rican coffee
• Ceiling and floor fans
• Private porch with chairs and a hammock
• Stunning ocean views

The cabins have recently been upgraded with new mattresses, luxurious linens, and towels throughout.

Guests can enjoy breakfast under the covered Rancho Restaurant or order sunset cocktails by the pool. Adjacent to the Rancho is an Art Gallery showcasing local Indigenous Borucan masks, handwoven bags, artwork, and artisan jewelry.

Guest Access and Amenities

Guests have full access to the property, including:

• Swimming pool (open until 9:00 pm)
