Senda Monteverde Hotel

Senda Monteverde Hotel lies amidst the mist-shrouded hills of Costa Rica’s Central Highlands. Here adventure beckons from the cloud forest of Monteverde, just around the corner.

Spend your days searching for the smallest orchids in the world. Walk among the tallest treetops on suspension bridges or soar high above the forest floor by zipline. In moments of calm, listen for the piercing calls of toucans. Watch closely for the resplendent quetzal’s flash of iridescent green. Then, when the wilderness stirs with life under the moonlight, join your guide to spot snakes, two-toed sloths and tarantulas. 

At Senda Monteverde, your connection to nature deepens. Tucked between a tangle of trees, each room offers uninterrupted privacy. Stay in a suite for views that stretch over green valleys to the Gulf of Nicoya. From your private terrace, watch the morning mist lift and soak up the stillness of the highlands.

Outside, wind along hushed trails to glimpse hummingbirds floating over wildflowers. A suspended bridge leads into the neighbouring Aguti Wildlife Reserve, home to giant old-growth trees, gnarled strangler figs and native wildlife including its namesake: the agouti (rodents resembling guinea pigs).

Back at the hotel, the gastronomy centres on produce fresh from the earth. Taste homegrown coffee and seasonal cuisine made with ingredients sourced from regional farmers or harvested onsite. Beyond the restaurant, there’s also a panoramic lounge to share South American wine and a yoga studio for restorative flows or soothing massages.
