Hotel Belmar

Hotel Belmar

A family-owned eco-boutique chalet-style retreat on the edge of Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve, offering alpine-inspired rooms and suites with panoramic forest and Gulf of Nicoya views, on-site organic gardens, farm-to-table dining at Restaurante Celajes, guided nature trails and a deep sustainability ethos.
Location: Monteverde

Welcome to the misty magic of Monteverde, where the clouds roll in like silk and the air smells like moss and eucalyptus. Hotel Belmar sits high in the mountaintops, nestled between the Monteverde and Santa Elena Cloud Forest Reserves, offering that elusive combination of eco-conscious living and quiet luxury. The property feels otherworldly—yet is just a short hop to town for boutique cafés, wildlife tours, and craft chocolate tastings. This is Costa Rica at its most ethereal.


Amenities

At Belmar, the little luxuries are as natural as the setting. Every detail is designed to restore, reconnect, and rewild the senses.

Rooms

Choose from two elegant room types:
• Peninsula Rooms in the main building feature wide balconies and views that stretch all the way to the Gulf of Nicoya.
• Chalet Deluxe Rooms—wood-clad sanctuaries nestled in the forest, with floor-to-ceiling windows, soaking tubs, and even outdoor Jacuzzis in premium suites.

Design leans rustic-luxe: think polished hardwood, artisan textiles, rain showers, and warm lighting—all designed to invite the outside in.


Dining

Belmar’s food scene is as nourishing as it is beautiful.
• Celajes Restaurant – A true farm-to-table experience, with ingredients sourced from the hotel’s own gardens and nearby farms. Expect fresh trout, house-made breads, seasonal vegetables, and thoughtful vegetarian options.
• Tea & Juice Bar – Set in the chalet, this serene spot serves cold-pressed juices, herbal teas, smoothies, and kombucha with views over the gardens.
• Craft Brewery & Lounge Bar – Sip a house-made IPA or cocktail crafted with foraged herbs while the clouds drift in through the windows.

Breakfast here is a highlight—homemade granola, fresh fruit, gallo pinto, and warm pastries served on the terrace with birdwatching as your morning entertainment.


Spa

The spa at Belmar is intimate and holistic. Treatments draw on natural healing traditions, using sustainably sourced oils, herbs, and local clay. Book a deep-tissue massage, a detoxifying facial, or even an outdoor soaking session in the glass-walled Jacuzzi gazebo. Yoga classes take place daily in the forest-view studio—a sacred, grounding experience.
