Breathtaking views and a high vaulted teak ceiling make you feel like you're in a huge treehouse. Located in the 24,000m2/6 acre private jungle grounds of Southern Drake Lodge our Rainforest Penthouse is close to the Pacific Ocean, Corcovado National Park and Cańo Island, giving you the best wildlife the air, land and sea has to offer. The perfect place to relax after your ocean and jungle adventures. Cool off in our large fresh water pool and let Mother Nature come to you. The space We built the penthouse with luxury jungle accommodation in mind. It's high up with a wraparound porch, plenty of room for watching the birds and monkeys. There's hammock's and outside seating for chilling and a large pool to cool off in with a huge deck surround if you want to sunbathe outside or just watch the jungle. So you don't waste any valuable nature watching time, we've built a large twin rainforest shower outside so you can keep your eye out for any furry or feathered visitors. Inside is a generous open plan kitchen and dining area below a high vaulted teak roof with windows for extra light. With bi-fold doors you can really open up the space for maximum nature immersion. Two air conditioned bedrooms and a large WC with twin sinks completes the essentials. The penthouse has 360 degree views, so you just need to bring your binoculars, phone or camera and keep them to hand. Breakfast and evening meal are served on our Rancho covered outdoor platform the best place for monkey and birdwatching and our fire pit or pool bar are perfect places to wind down, talk about your day's adventures and plan tomorrow's. Transfers from and to Drake Bay airport when flying and from and to the main beach when arriving by boat from Sierpe are included. A cleaning and laundry service is also included. PLEASE NOTE there’s an additional fee for food and daily cleaning if you booked before 27 February 2024. Guest access Parking is free here at Southern Drake Lodge. Other things to note For groups of 5 we will put a single bed in the lounge area which is served by a ceiling fan. A/C is in the 2 bedrooms only. Whilst children are more than welcome at Southern Drake Lodge we do like to highlight a few things in advance so you’re fully informed. The building is on stilts, accessed by stairs and the wraparound deck is fitted with open railings that can be climbed up or through. The pool, deck and bar area has no fence or gate to prevent access. We have 3 rescue animals, a cat Gala and 2 dogs Rio and Bob, one of which Rio is a very boisterous puppy with a lot of energy. The dogs are friendly and will want to play with you - particularly Rio. We can't emphasise this enough. If you're driving to Drake Bay, you need a 4x4 (4WD) vehicle. The roads have been greatly improved and during the dry season it is now easier than it's ever been to get around. However, if you want to explore the area or, if you're here during the green season, you'll no doubt come across rivers or streams that you need to drive through or steep hills you need to climb. Avoid awkward conversations with your rental company, a ruined holiday and unnecessary costs by making sure you hire a 4WD vehicle. Our Rainforest Penthouse is directly above our Jungle Apartment and is part of the Southern Drake Lodge main building.
