Shawandha Lodge is located on the Caribbean side of Costa Rica, in the town of Puerto Viejo. The southern Caribbean coast masterfully blends wilderness and beautiful coastline. You will find a world of beautiful exotic birds, playful animals and smiling people. Puerto Viejo is a laid back beach town, offering a selection of restaurants, gift stores and live entertainment.

This coast is blessed by an abundance of beauty and activities for those who want to explore its surroundings. Visit the Cahuita National Park to further observe the unique biodiversity or glide over the coral reefs in a glass bottom boat. Take a closer look at the array of underwater species on a scuba diving excursion or snorkeling adventure. Other activities include river or sea kayaking, visiting butterfly farms, iguana farms, botanical gardens, bird watching and visiting the local Indian reservations.

At the Shawandha Lodge you will find it easy to feast your eyes on the vibrant colors of the plants and trees, listen to the variety of birds and catch sight of monkeys. Begin your night with your favorite drink in the restaurant where you can then follow with dinner prepared by the chef. Expect creative tropical flavors with the savoir-faire of the French tradition.

The Lodge features spacious bungalows, constructed in neo-primitive style with an artistic mixture of wood, ceramics and palm roofs. Each of the bungalows has its own individual character with handcrafted furniture, a private bathroom and a fan. Rooms also have a terrace with a sofa and hammock.
