Costa Rica’s Igloo Beach Lodge in Manuel Antonio is notable for its atmosphere, uniquely designed rooms, and proximity to sprawling jungle and beaches.
Relax Beachside in an Igloo at a Gorgeous Lodge Resort
If you’re looking for a truly unique hotel experience, the Igloo Beach Lodge in the
Central Pacific of the
North Puntarenas region is the perfect choice! It is located about 70 kilometers from the
San José International Airport (SJO), but the trip down to the coast is more than worth it.
Like much of Costa Rica, the Igloo Beach Lodge shares a mission of conserving wildlife and living in harmony with nature. This commitment means the rooms are specially designed for sustainability, without skimping on comfort and convenience.
Unique Construction
The cabins at the lodge are quite different from typical hotel fare, as they are individual igloos constructed using the airform method. Once they are assembled in a mold, they harden to form monolithic domes. In accordance with the hotel’s mission, the igloo rooms are highly energy-efficient compared to regular hotels, and the native vegetation that grows on the domes gives the rooms a strong connection to nature.
Great Location
The Igloo Beach Lodge is located walking distance from
Playa Espadilla and just steps from acres of jungle, which makes it an ideal spot for nature enthusiasts looking to spend their vacation exploring Costa Rica’s natural wildlife.
Manuel Antonio is well-known as a great destination for seeing the best of what the rainforest has to offer, and staying at the Igloo Beach Lodge is a great way to ensure you spend less time traveling and more time hiking and adventuring.
Amenities Galore
While the area around the hotel is spectacular, the hotel grounds have plenty of great amenities as well. Wifi is included, pets are welcome to join you during your stay at the lodge, and breakfast can be arranged upon request for a small additional fee.
Eat at the outdoor, open plan Casa Planta Restaurant and Bar with the distant sound of the waves against the shore as a backdrop, then head to the fitness club and make use of the Surf Camp, Boot Camp, and yoga classes. You can even enjoy a massage or body wrap at the on-site spa.

Rooms
True to its name, Igloo Beach Lodge is far from your typical resort. Instead of bungalows or a standard hotel layout, the rooms at the lodge are cabins molded in the shapes of igloos set around an outdoor swimming pool and bar!
All rooms have a clean, light aesthetic with stylish, modern furnishings. They are all located on the ground floor making them wheelchair accessible and are air conditioned for added comfort.
Double Rooms
Double igloos are built to accommodate two guests, though they also make for a cozy getaway if you’re a solo traveler. The comfortable, plush queen sized bed is situated next to the window, so you can wake up to natural sunlight and fall asleep looking out with a garden or pool view.
Double rooms are equipped with many modern conveniences, from standard hotel fare to state-of-the-art appliances. They come with their own fridge, a private bathroom and shower, a smart TV, and a safe. Additionally, these rooms are hooked up to a Google Home device as well as a digital home with temperature controls.
Quadruple Rooms
Quadruple rooms can house up to four guests, so they’re a good choice for families and similarly-sized groups. They feature two full sized beds, both of which allow you to look out the window and take in the view of the garden or pool while still providing sufficient privacy.
Quad igloos are fully modernized just like their double counterparts. They come complete with temperature controls, a fridge, a smart TV, Google Home, a safe, and a digital home. These rooms also include a private modern washroom and shower for guest convenience.
