Cayuga Lodges: Luxury Meets Purpose
The Cayuga Collection is a group of sustainable luxury hotels in Central America, each rooted in its unique environment and community. With locations in Costa Rica, Panama, and Nicaragua, Cayuga’s hotels are known for blending world-class hospitality with pioneering sustainability. Co-founded by Hans Pfister, the Cayuga Collection has become a leader in regenerative travel—proving that luxury and responsibility can go hand in hand. From eliminating single-use plastics to employing 100% local staff and sourcing ingredients from nearby farms and fisheries, each hotel reflects a commitment to people and planet.
Each location is locally owned and designed to immerse travelers in nature, without sacrificing comfort. Accommodations range from ocean-view suites nestled in jungle hillsides to private-island casitas and beachside bungalows with open-air showers and canopy beds. Expect locally crafted furnishings, sustainable architecture, and thoughtful touches that reflect the surrounding culture and landscape.
Cayuga hotels are ideal for travelers who value authenticity and connection. Guests can take part in private waterfall hikes, surf secluded breaks, and join cooking classes with local chefs. Some properties offer yoga overlooking the sea, chocolate-making workshops, and guided visits to wildlife refuges or artisan cooperatives.
Service is warm and intuitive—attentive without being intrusive. Days begin with the sounds of tropical birds and a breakfast prepared with local ingredients, often sourced from nearby farms. Evenings might include sunset cocktails on the deck, fresh-caught seafood prepared by local chefs, or conversations with the staff who grew up just down the road.
Families, couples, and solo travelers alike are welcome. Some hotels are adults-only, while others are well-suited for multi-generational trips or milestone celebrations. Travelers should also know: Cayuga properties are small by design—most host fewer than 20 rooms. Wi-Fi is available, but this is the kind of place where you’ll want to unplug.
