El Silencio Lodge and Spa, Bajos del Toro

Set in 500 acres of Costa Rican rainforest and close to the volcanic landscapes of the region, El Silencio Lodge is a luxury you will want to keep quiet about.

You sigh to yourself. The quietude of the gardens that surround El Silencio Lodge gives you a feeling of deep tranquillity and peace. Although, if you want to, you can send your ears out on a journey into the gardens, flanked by two wonderfully untouched national nature reserves, and they will pick up any number of rainforest birds and wild creatures calling to each other.

Put El Silencio on your luxury, tailor-made holiday to Costa Rica and you’ll understand why the lodge and spa is so aptly named. As well as exploring the surrounding cloud forest and national parks, it is also a great place for rediscovering your inner self. The Lodge’s spa has a range of holistic treatments and a yoga deck overlooking the gardens.
