Discover Your Jungle Escape at Geckoes Lodge

Tucked away on the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica, just five minutes from the laid-back town of Puerto Viejo, lies Geckoes Lodge – your gateway to rainforest bliss.

Here in the South Caribbean, where the jungle meets the sea, our eco-luxury lodge offers two private villas and two charming vacation homes, each designed for space, privacy, and connection to nature. Think lush gardens, open-air kitchens, private plunge pools, sloths in your backyard, and the kind of silence that buzzes with life.

At Geckoes Lodge, mornings start with the hoots of howler monkeys, afternoons bring lazy hours in a hammock, and evenings are lit by fireflies and frogsong. Wildlife is your closest neighbour: sloths, toucans, blue morpho butterflies, and the occasional curious agouti, armadillo or hummingbird.

Whether you’re seeking a romantic hideaway, an adventurous family break, or a solo retreat in the Costa Rican rainforest, Geckoes is more than a place to stay – it’s an experience in slowing down.

Come for the beaches.
Stay for the jungle.
Return for the magic.
