The Southern Pacific Coast of Costa Rica offers an incredibly diverse selection of great things to do, all within minutes of Bella Vista Lodge. We're happy to schedule and book tours and excursions.

The Dominical area offers some of the best surfing in this hemisphere. We have 2 in-house instructors and 7 different beaches within 20 minutes of the Lodge.
