Shawanda Lodge - Puerto Viejo

Cocles Beach Costa Rica

Shawanda Lodge Cocles Beach Puerto Viejo de Costa Rica

Costa Rica offers an amazing diversity of landscape, flora and fauna, but the southern Caribbean coast is unique unto itself. It is a blend of wilderness and the modern amenities that make a vacation memorable, without the crowds of other vacation destinations. It is easily accessible by road but still offers magnificent natural surroundings and deserted beaches. Here you will find a world of beautifully exotic birds, playful animals and smiling, colorful
people.

Bungalows

Shawandha is the Lodge on the southern Caribbean coast whose intention is to co-exist with respect for nature. It features spacious bungalows constructed in neo-primitive style with an artistic mixture of wood and ceramics with palm roofs, each of the bungalows has its own individual character and atmosphere. Enjoy viewing your natural surroundings from the terrace either lazing in a sofa or hammock.

From there you can see the vibrant colors of the plants and trees, listen to the variety of birds or catch sight of the monkeys from the corner of your eye.

Your hosts, Maho Diaz, a fashion and architectural designer and Nicolas Bufille, an anthropolicical documentarist and restaurateur, both French wish to welcome you to their lodge and assist you in enjoying your precious vacation in Costa Rica.

The Restaurant

And about your nights? Begin with your favorite drink underneath the spectacular "Rancho" of the restaurant. There you can follow with dinner prepared by our chef, enjoying creative tropical flavours with the savoir-faire of the French tradition.

May we make a suggestion?

Start with a heart of palm and advocato salad, followed by Lobster "a la Normande" and end with a delicate mousse de mango.
