Senda Monteverde Hotel

This cosy mountain lodge enjoys an elevated position just minutes away from Monteverde’s famous Cloud Forest Reserve. It’s also connected by a convenient hanging bridge to the neighbouring Aguti Wildlife Reserve and is an easy walk into the village of Santa Elena.

Senda Monteverde’s 24 guest rooms and suites are dotted across the property, housed in contemporary bungalows and showcasing the natural colours and materials of the surrounding area. Each room features its own private balcony or terrace offering views either into the ethereal cloud forests or out across to the Gulf of Nicoya.

El Sapo, the on-site restaurant, serves up regional cuisine with a farm-to-table menu highlighting fresh, locally sourced ingredients. The bar offers a variety of craft cocktails, wines, and locally brewed artisan beers.

During your stay you can explore the hotel’s well-kept nature trails or take a guided walk through the nearby cloud forest reserves to discover the rich biodiversity of the region. The hotel has a yoga studio for those looking to unwind. Monteverde is also a prime location for bird watching as well as some high-octane adventures like zip lining, canopy tours and hanging bridges.

Sustainability at Senda Monteverde

The team at Senda Monteverde work hard to ensure the property offers sustainable hospitality. From the use of solar panels and bio-degradable cleaning products, to a strict ‘no single-use plastics’ policy. Food is locally and sustainably sourced, toiletries are organic, and all the staff are born and bred in Costa Rica – many just a stone’s throw from the hotel. In addition Senda has regenerated its grounds by planting over 5,500 native plants and trees, helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and give wildlife a safe habitat. Your stay at Senda includes a direct contribution to the neighbouring Aguti Wildlife Reserve, a private, protected cloud forest.
