The Flying Scorpion
The Flying Scorpion offers you one of Costa Rica's most beautiful beaches, Playa San Miguel.
Wake early to welcome the dawn with yoga; go for long beach walks with the setting sun. Spend lazy days reading in one of our hammocks, or sunbathing beside the breathtaking Pacific Ocean.
Or be active! Epic surfing, surf lessons, jungle hiking, guided waterfall tours, horseback riding, world-class fishing on- or off-shore, ATV tours, and many more excursions await you.
The Flying Scorpion includes two newly-renovated houses, five seaside cabinas, a studio apartment with balcony deck, a fully stocked bar and restaurant on the Pacific Ocean, and a wildlife-filled estuary.
All rooms boast 600 thread count sheets on brand new teak beds, Seaside Charter Club towels, private bath with hot water, new oscillating ceiling fans, and all-natural locally-made soaps.
The weather here is wonderful year-round, with average daytime temperatures in the 80's. The afternoon prevailing breezes from the ocean keep the days warm but comfortable. Join us!

Just admit it - you're going to take a nap in the hammocks by the sea, shaded by almond trees. It's ok. We do, too.

We'll stock the gear, the beer, and the boat. Bring the guys and girls fishing. Rossi caught a 52lb Mahi Mahi. Can y'all do better?

Uniquely adaptable animals inhabit the tide pool. "Look [...] to the stars and then back to the tide pool again." - Steinbeck (& Rossi)

Waterfall Pool
We know of several hikes to waterfalls, slides, and pools. When the water is up, we'll lead you and your group there! (We like going, ourselves.)
