The Zancudo Lodge
Explore Our Lodge
Welcome to the Zancudo Lodge, Costa Rica
Our Costa Rica fishing lodge is located on Costa Rica’s Golfo Dulce (Sweet Gulf) in the Southern Pacific region of Costa Rica. The Southern Zone of Costa Rica was referred to by National Geographic Magazine as the ” The most biologically intense place on Earth” and with the chance to see sloths, monkeys and scarlet macaws right on our grounds, you’ll probably agree. The fishing in this region of Costa Rica is spectacular with over 40 IGFA records in the area. The trip to the offshore fishing grounds is only 45 minutes with inshore fishing starting minutes from the dock. Our Lodge and resort has 15 beautifully appointed standard rooms, junior and master suites, an open air restaurant, saltwater filtered pool and expansive beachfront area that will allow you to fully enjoy this exotic, tropical paradise. Our fishing operation is located on our river entrance side of the lodge at our private dock which is home to our fleet of high-end 32′ Contender boats so you may enjoy the ultimate fishing adventure!
World renowned as “the best fishing lodge in Costa Rica”, the Lodge continues to strengthen its position by annually updating and renewing its property, on and off the water. Through the encouragement of our guests, the Lodge has now expanded its offerings to new markets such as families, honeymooners, cooperate events, health retreats, weddings, and more. With our unique and exclusive location, bordered by the Rio Coto and the Pacific Ocean, the Zancudo Lodge offers the ideal setting for all our emerging markets. The Zancudo Lodge is truly the ultimate sport fishing adventure worthy of a place on any angler’s bucket list.
Those guests who prefer to enjoy the tranquility of the resort can spend time relaxing by the saltwater pool, taking a stroll in our tropical fruit garden, receiving a deep tissue massage in our dedicated massage room, exercising in our weight room, practicing yoga or pilates in the open air, exploring the town with our beach bicycles, enjoying the beauty of the Osa Peninsula waters on our standup paddle boards, Hobie pedal fishing kayaks or windsurfing equipment or simply relishing the vastness of the Pacific Ocean from the privacy of our Zancudo Beach.
