Monte Azul is a luxury boutique hotel in the mountains and rainforest of southern Costa Rica. Monte Azul Hotel features seven elegant suites: four luxury riverside casitas and three suites at Casa Palo Alto, our hilltop villa.

Monte Azul is a perfect destination for travelers looking for luxury and privacy. Every detail of the hotel was developed with the discerning traveler in mind, from high thread count sheets and large bathrooms, down to fine finishes and special details like organic soaps, which are handmade at Monte Azul.

The hotel's 125-acre private nature preserve is located at an altitude of 3,500 ft, just a few minutes drive from the entrance to Chirripó National Park and 30 minutes from the famous bird watching paradise of Skutch Ranch.

Our property includes over 1,200 meters of riverfront along the Chirripó river, numerous creeks, waterfalls, primary rainforest and an extraordinary number of animals and exotic plants.

Hike our extensive network of trails, enjoy horseback riding, try your hand at world class bird watching, soak at our local warm springs, engage in community cultural activities or plan a day trip to the nearby beaches of Uvita.

Watch the Monkeys play while enjoying a meal at our elegant Café Blue or relax while you take in the view from our hilltop swimming pool.

Hotel guests also get the opportunity to be immersed in the arts, as each hotel room and every public space is curated with fine art produced through Monte Azul's Artist in Residency Program.

As a guest at Monte Azul Hotel, you can actively explore your creative side through relaxing paper making classes, cooking workshops or a fun workshop with one of Monte Azul's resident artists.
