In a world of overtourism, this wild coast proves that luxury and sustainability can share the same wave.
With global attention now focused on our shores, as reported by the Tico Times, demand for this “Last Wild Frontier” is surging. We recommend booking your stay at our beachfront luxury resort Osa Peninsula well in advance to secure your sanctuary before the landscape shifts.
The Little Moon Suite: Your Treetop Sanctuary
The Little Moon Suite is a masterclass in canopy living. Perched on our second story, this peaceful treetop escape offers a private covered deck with sweeping views. It is the perfect perch to watch monkeys and toucans from above. With an open-air layout and two queen beds, it is the definitive beachfront luxury resort Osa Peninsula room for those seeking seclusion without sacrificing comfort.

Where Biodiversity Meets the Sea
Our backyard, including the nearby Corcovado National Park, is a biological masterpiece. This park holds about 2.5 percent of the world’s biodiversity in just 0.03 percent of the planet’s surface. It shelters 13 endemic amphibian species, nearly 500 types of birds like scarlet macaws, and 140 mammals including jaguars, tapirs, and sloths. According to El Observador, this region’s preservation makes it a “must-visit” for 2026.
