Welcome to Isla Chiquita Glamping Hotel

Enjoy our Glamping Experience in Costa Rica

Rejuvenate your mind, body and spirit as you forge a meaningful connection to nature at Isla Chiquita Glamping Hotel. Perched on the tiny island of Isla Jesusita in Costa Rica's picturesque Gulf of Nicoya, our hotel is the first and only destination of its kind in the country.

Celebrate the island’s artisanal fishing heritage with a delicious seafood meal at Donde Tía Nora Restaurant, or sip a drink at Harry’s Bar & Restaurant as you survey the beauty that envelops you. Embark on an adventure by land or sea; bioluminescence expeditions, birdwatching, forest bathing hikes, snorkeling excursions and island hopping are among the engaging experiences we offer. Upon returning to the hotel, relax in our tropical lounging gardens or soothe tired muscles with a massage on our wellness deck.

What is "Glamping"?

"Glamping" (a combination of the words “glamour” and camping”) blends the adventure and eco-friendly appeal of a camping holiday with the comforts and amenities of a traditional hotel. Isla Chiquita elevates the glamping experience with premium tent accommodations featuring plush bedding, organic bath products and lounging decks with gorgeous ocean or tropical forest views.

Environmental sustainability is of the utmost importance to all of us at Isla Chiquita Glamping Hotel. We’re committed to protecting and preserving the beauty of our surroundings, with a host of green-friendly initiatives and programs.

La tente très bien équipée surplombe la mer sur une île paradisiaque avec des singes qui vous réveillent. Le restaurant, que ce soit pour le petit déjeuner, le déjeuner ou le dîner, est très bon. Les excursions sont étonnantes (bioluminescence et observation des baleines notamment) pour des prix très raisonnables par rapport à ce que nous avons vu ailleurs.

Our stay at this property was great. We were well cared for and had the perfect mix of fun and relaxation during our stay. The staff were very attentive and friendly

We were able to use the kayaks to go around the island during the day and go on the bioluminescence tour at night. 

We stayed for two nights with our two sons (8 and 12) and it was just the right amount of time to enjoy the island's flora and fauna, hotel amenities, and relax.

The highlights of our trip were the Howler Monkeys right outside our Glamping tent, the amazing staff, and seeing lightning, bioluminescence, jumping fish, and fireflies all at the same time. All that is to say we highly recommend this hotel. :)

The stay in Isla Chiquita was a great choice since I did it in my last days in the country and it was perfect to spend a few days relaxing in paradise.

The tent had all the amenities: minibar, coffee maker, bathroom amenities, safe and even mats for yoga in the morning! And the jacuzzi on the terrace overlooking the sea was a dream
