If a long stretch of deserted beach is your idea of heaven, this luxury lodge with breezy, screened-in cabins set among mature trees is for you. The gentle Golfo Dulce waters are perfect for swimming, sea kayaking, and Boogie boarding. Cabins are furnished elegantly in bamboo, with thoughtful touches like Egyptian cotton sheets and a raft of candles for romantic evenings. The upper-level cabins have the nicest views and catch the best breezes. The pebble-lined showers have plenty of solar-heated hot water and excellent water pressure. Buffet-style dinners, with exotic foods reflecting the owners' worldwide travels, are served in a thatched-roof dining room with a huge table that can accommodate up to 32 diners. The lavish breakfasts are worth getting up for. There are also a communal kitchen, a yoga platform, and a Japanese soaking tub. Birds are plentiful in the Playa Preciosa Platanares Mixed Refuge, which borders the lodge.
