Finca Bellavista

Top choice in Southern Costa Rica & Península de Osa


Finca Bellevista is a 242-hectare community of arboreal abodes near Parque Nacional Piedras Blancas. Tree house and canopy dwellings are individually owned and rented when unoccupied. Each unique design conforms to established sustainable principles. There's a zip line, a yoga studio and hiking trails on the grounds for guests, and the communal rancho offers a restaurant, a bar and a hang-out zone.

Many of the homes offer kitchens, electricity and running water, although some don't. Two-night minimum.
