Home/Our story
About us · a hotel since 2024

We came for a trip. We stayed for the jungle.

We are two adventurers passionate about exploring the world. Our journey led us to Costa Rica in 2022, where the Osa Peninsula captivated us completely — so we took a chance on our dream and bought a piece of land filled with wonder.

Pursuing our dreams

This is more than a hotel. It's our heart.

Together we created Maze Lodge — a place that transports us and our guests back to the same sense of awe we felt on our first arrival. We run it with love and are deeply rooted in the local community of Puerto Jiménez and the Osa. We can recommend the restaurants we actually eat at and plan your tours with the local guides who know the area best.

We named it Maze Lodge because we know how easy it is to feel trapped in the maze of everyday life — the never-ending cycle of work, chores and responsibilities. Out here the maze is made of trees, and it has a way of showing you the way out.

The lodge is built with sustainability in mind — natural materials, solar power, our own well, four small buildings placed inside the existing forest so that the animals keep passing through exactly as they did before us. A hotel since 2024, Maze Lodge is a celebration of nature, sustainability and community — still early in its journey. Welcome to experience it with us.

What we believe

Travel is a privilege. So is the jungle.

We work with local conservation organisations to protect the rainforest around us. We use eco-friendly products, keep the lodges small, keep the road rough and keep the lights low. Read our philosophy →
