The Lost Iguana Resort & Spa occupies a verdant, overgrown stretch of land not far from where steep waterfalls cascade down mountainsides at the La Paz Waterfall Gardens. The preserved rainforest habitats are home to monkeys, birds, more than 4,000 butterflies, and a 200-pound jaguar. Another day-trip option is to take a local eco tour, which can include kayaking, whitewater rafting, or mountain biking underneath a cool, green canopy.The Arenal Volcano in northwestern Costa Rica rises more than a mile into the sky, starting from a green, densely forested base and tapering to a rocky peak. The active volcano is set amid hundreds of acres of lush rainforest, which extend to the doorstep of The Lost Iguana Resort & Spa. Here, flowering plants perfume the air, exotic birds flutter about, and you can hear distant whistles, screeches, and hoots from the local wildlife. It makes a soothing setting for the resort’s Golden Gecko Spa, which Recommend magazine has called “the last word in jungle elegance.”
In each standard deluxe room, a private balcony overlooks the volcano. High wooden ceilings create a sense of space, and the decor is bright and tropical. Local artwork adds an authentic touch, and the satellite TV, mini-refrigerator, and air conditioning provide modern comforts.
The resort also has two outdoor pools: one next to a waterfall, and the other leading to a swim-up bar. An extensive network of private trails rewards hikers with glimpses of rare birds such as golden-olive woodpeckers and grey-headed chachalaca. An 80’x80’ hibiscus maze dares visitors to enter and solve riddles posed by an intellectual kinkajou. Afterward, the resort's open-air Blue Hibiscus Restaurant awaits, offering a romantic dinner in full view of the volcano.
The Lost Iguana Resort is a boutique hotel with 42 uniquely appointed rooms on 120 acres in a primary rainforest. Every room has perfect views of the volcano. During your stay, enjoy trails through the jungle, a hot swim up bar & open air restaurant, plus a secluded spa with saunas, gymnasium and massage bungalows.
