Welcome to Copa De Arbol Beach & Rainforest Resort, a luxurious icon set against the breathtaking backdrop of Drake Bay along Costa Rica's remote Osa Peninsula. Here, an untouched paradise flourishes; rainforests meet crystal-clear waters, creating one of the last bastions of ecological wonder on Earth. The arrival is a sensory feast: as you step into the open-air lobby, polished teak floors reflect the sunlight, while art inspired by native culture adorns the space. The welcoming scent of tropical flora envelops you. This resort isn't just a place to stay; it's a captivating experience. Every corner reveals outstanding features, like Restaurante Miramar, a 1,500-square-foot culinary gem perched among the treetops, where every table offers stunning coastal views and cocktails that echo the essence of this tropical paradise. The excitement is palpable as you embark on excursions that showcase a vibrant tapestry of wildlife and culture, or simply soak in the tranquil luxury that this world-class resort provides.

Explore the Local Area

Agujitas, a vibrant local town just a short boat ride away, serves as a gateway to exploration. Experience the renowned Playa San Josecito, a mere 3.5 km from your doorstep, or venture into the lush expanses of Punta Rio Claro National Wildlife Refuge just 2 km away. For the adventurous, guided kayak excursions unlock secluded beaches and mesmerizing waterfalls; exhilarating diving opportunities with Drake Divers promise unforgettable underwater encounters. To reach this haven, fly from San José directly to the nearby Aeropuerto de Bahia Drake or the Palmar airstrip-each just 10 km from the resort. The heart of this retreat is undoubtedly the beach that acts as your travel hub, offering a breathtaking view at every turn.
