# Inti Resort and Villas

> Inti Resort and Villas is a small resort in the jungle outside Cahuita, on Costa Rica's southern Caribbean coast, built around a pool, gardens and a yoga deck. It no longer has its own website and we couldn't confirm it's open, so it's best treated as a lead to check rather than a place to book.

**Update, November 2026:** Inti Resort and Villas no longer has a working website. A few booking sites still list it, but we found no recent guest reviews or posts from the resort, so we couldn't confirm it's open. Check directly before planning a visit.

Inti Resort and Villas was built in the forest a few kilometers outside Cahuita, a small, relaxed village on the southern Caribbean coast known for its Afro-Caribbean culture and its national park. It offered a quiet base with a pool, gardens and an open yoga deck, close to the beaches of Cahuita and Playa Negra.

## What it offered

The grounds were laid out using feng shui principles, with a meditation garden, an adult pool and a children's pool, a tennis court and a mini golf course. Rooms had air conditioning, ceiling fans and hot water, with a queen bed or a double and a single. Yoga and meditation classes were held on a deck facing the forest, and the deck was also used for Pilates.

One guest review on a booking site advised arriving in daylight because map apps placed the resort in the wrong spot, which is worth knowing for any small lodge on this coast.

## Cahuita for yoga

Cahuita National Park starts at the edge of the village, with a beach trail through the forest where you'll often see howler monkeys and sloths, and a reef offshore for snorkeling when the sea is calm. Puerto Viejo, about 20 minutes south, has more restaurants and nightlife. For a yoga stay on this coast, [The Goddess Garden](/the-goddess-garden/) is also near Cahuita, and our guide to [where to do yoga in Costa Rica](/where-to-do-yoga-in-costa-rica/) covers the rest of the Caribbean side.

## Getting there
