Where the cloud forest meets the sunset.

A boutique mountain retreat of four private cottages tucked into the canopy — each with its own hot tub, panoramic balcony, and a front-row seat to the Gulf of Nicoya.

Our story

A family farm, reimagined as a sanctuary.

High in the misted mountains above Santa Elena, our family transformed a working farm into a collection of architecturally distinctive cottages — each one designed to bring the cloud forest indoors.

Live-edge wood, suspended hammock decks, and floor-to-ceiling glass open onto rolling hills, the Pacific coast in the distance, and a private walking trail that winds to one of Monteverde's most spectacular viewpoints.

The Cottages

Four distinct retreats. One unforgettable view.

Each cottage at Finca Sunset has its own personality — from immersive jungle treehouses to luxe mountaintop hideaways. All four come with private indoor hot tubs, full kitchens, and 24/7 access to the property's walking trails and panoramic overlook.

Casa Bosque

"Like staying inside the canopy."

Wrapped in floor-to-ceiling glass and surrounded by banana, palm, and dracaena, Casa Bosque is the most immersive of the four — a true forest cottage. A wooden deck wraps around to a hanging hammock-net suspended over the jungle below.

Casa Verde

"Where the mountains begin."

Perched on the ridge, Casa Verde balances modern interiors — a hand-carved king headboard, sleek dark-tile kitchen — with an outdoor balcony that feels like a private observatory. The included telescope is pointed at the stars (and a few howler monkeys).

Casa Zafiro

"Sunsets, framed."

An architectural treasure — a curved-roof villa where a vaulted timber ceiling cradles you toward an arched panoramic window. Wake up with golden light pouring across the Gulf of Nicoya, and watch the day end painted across the sky from your bed.

· Sleeps 2 · Curved timber ceiling · Arched sunset window · Indoor hot tub · Full kitchen · A/C
