Costa Rica's Caribbean Coast
Playa Chiquita
Where the jungle meets the Caribbean Sea
A Caribbean paradise where pristine
rainforest meets turquoise waters.
Namuwoki Lodge is nestled in the enchanting coastal village of Playa Chiquita, located 6 km from Puerto Viejo on the southern Caribbean coast of Costa Rica. Surrounded by lush rainforest and pristine beaches, this tropical haven offers a perfect blend of natural beauty and tranquility.
Playa Chiquita is renowned for its stunning coastline, with palm-fringed shores and turquoise waters ideal for swimming, snorkeling, and sunbathing. The area is rich in biodiversity, providing opportunities for wildlife observation and exploration of nearby national parks and reserves.
Our Home
Southern
Caribbean Coast
The southern Caribbean coast of Costa Rica remains one of the most unspoiled stretches of coastline in Central America. Here, the jungle grows right to the edge of the sand, and the pace of life follows the rhythm of the tides.
From your bungalow at Namuwoki, it is a ten-minute walk through the garden to reach Playa Chiquita -- where turquoise water laps against golden sand beneath a canopy of coconut palms.
