A SANCTUARY FOR THE SOUL
Sunshine Sanctuary is a boutique jungle lodge where exploration and relaxation meet through nature. Tucked between the vibrant rainforest and a three-tiered waterfall, our lodge invites guests to experience Costa Rica at their own pace.
Mornings begin with freshly brewed Costa Rican coffee and a breakfast celebrating the vibrant flavors of the region, crafted with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Wander the private trail to the Montezuma Waterfall or cross our hanging bridge to hike down to the nearby coastal towns of Montezuma and Cabuya. Then return to the quiet of the lodge, where afternoons are spent by the saltwater pool, wildlife passes through the trees, and nature is never more than a glance away.
ROOTED IN COSTA RICA
Every detail of Sunshine Sanctuary reflects a sense of place. From locally inspired design and handcrafted furnishings to the flavors served at breakfast, we celebrate the beauty, craftsmanship, and warmth of Costa Rica. We believe that where you stay should feel as connected to its surroundings as the adventures waiting just beyond your door.
Looking to explore beyond the guidebooks? We'll happily point you toward our favorite natural tide pools, hidden swimming spots, and the best places to enjoy the day's fresh catch. Our team is local and loves sharing the places, traditions, and hidden gems that make this corner of the Nicoya Peninsula so special.
FOR NATURE LOVERS
The Nicoya Peninsula is more than a beautiful destination—it's a remarkable story of renewal. Once threatened by deforestation, this region has become a model for conservation through the dedication of local communities and environmental organizations. Nearby, scarlet macaws once on the verge of disappearing now soar above the forest once again. In the protected forests of Cabo Blanco, land that was once cleared for agriculture has regenerated into one of Costa Rica's most treasured nature reserves, where jungle trails lead to secluded white-sand beaches.
At Sunshine Sanctuary, we are proud to be part of this extraordinary landscape. Our hope is that every guest leaves with more than beautiful photographs—that they leave feeling connected to the rhythms of the forest, inspired by the resilience of nature, and carrying a deeper appreciation for this remarkable corner of Costa Rica.
GATHER TOGETHER
Whether you're traveling solo or with a group, Sunshine Sanctuary offers spaces designed to bring people together naturally. Share stories over breakfast in our café loft, gather around the family-style dining table, or prepare a meal in the shared kitchen before heading off on your next adventure.
