Volcanic rainforest hideaway
High in the volcanic mountains, days drift between sweeping canopy vistas, Lake Nicaragua horizons, and the quiet stillness of the surrounding forest.
“Accommodations blend into the landscape, thanks to green roofs and natural materials like wood, bamboo, adobe, and stone.”

What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Also in AFAR.
Its unique construction is eye-catching even as its natural materials blend harmoniously with its surroundings.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
High in the northern mountains between Tenorio and Miravalles volcanoes, trails wind through rainforest home to tapirs, sloths, and howler monkeys.
The rooms
Circular timber lodges feature handcrafted canopy beds, open-air showers, and wraparound decks with private wood-fired hot tubs framing the rainforest.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The freeform infinity pool curves along the lodge terrace, looking out over the rainforest canopy toward the valley.
The Yoga Temple
A circular timber pavilion sits among the treetops, hosting sunrise meditation and yoga above the forest canopy.
El Salto Restaurant
The open-air restaurant serves French-inspired regional dishes crafted with produce and edible flowers harvested from the estate gardens.
At the table
Skyview Bar serves drinks beneath circular timber rafters, and private tables can be set directly beside the waterfall.
How it began
The estate draws its curved timber forms and adobe construction from pre-Columbian Maleku traditions, blending seamlessly into the mountain landscape.
