Senda Monteverde

Monteverde Cloud Forest

24 Rooms

From $260 per person/night

A bonafide forest retreat in one of Costa Rica's natural wonders, where adventure abounds.

As Costa Rica's coastline turns to lush slopes and reaches higher and higher towards the sky, you'll enter the mystical Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve. Described by National Geographic as the 'jewel in the crown of cloud forests', the trees are home to a menagerie of rare and elusive creatures... And in the middle of it all is Senda. Built as an unpretentious mountain home, the lodge takes every chance to showcase its spectacular vistas, whether it's from your private terrace or on a walkabout through the grounds as howler monkeys call overhead and butterflies pass in a flurry of colour. And how about going zip-lining in the very forest it was invented?

Hotel Belmar

Monteverde Cloud Forest

23 Rooms

From $140 per person/night

An iconic, eco-minded hotel in one of the most beautiful cloudforests on Earth.

One of Costa Rica's natural wonders, the Monteverde Cloud Forest is a cosmos of orchids, birdlife and secretive creatures. Operating for almost 40 years, the Belmar was the second hotel to open in the cloudforest and has remained dedicated to protecting it ever since. The Belmar family farm, Madre Tierra, supplies most of the ingredients used to prepare the lip-smacking meals, and the softly-designed rooms are decked out with furnishings carved on-site. The hotel has also established the 17-acre Savia reserve, which only six guests are able to enter at a time and where nature feels unbelievably close. Your gateway to Monteverde's wonders awaits...

Surrounded by some of the most bio-diverse and beautiful cloud forests in Costa Rica, Monteverde Lodge is geographically blessed. It might be within walking distance of the region's main town, Santa Elena, but being at Monteverde feels like you're in the middle of of nowhere - our very favourite place to be! From the lodge, there's a laundry list of activities to enjoy: as one of Costa Rica's adventure capitals, you can explore the tree canopy by zipline and hanging bridges, or hit the forest trails with your eyes peeled for the Resplendant Quetzal. And after all that, a soak in the hot tub is absolute perfection...
