The Lodge

The Celeste Mountain Lodge sits on a 3 hectares green area and 4 hectares of protected primary forest. Because neighboring properties also consist of protected areas, deep jungles surround the lodge on 3 sides.

Around the building and on our own Celeste Trail of 2 kms in primary forest, wildlife abounds, often allowing to spot and observe local fauna such as monkeys (howler and white-face), an extensive bird species list such as toucans, hummingbirds or parrots and even rare species, also butterflies and mammals as the tapir roams the property. One will also enjoy the rich diversity of the vegetation with centennial trees or vines.

The views from the Lodge are impressive, with the Cerro Montezuma (third hump of the Tenorio volcano) facing arrogantly the property as a massive green wall, sometimes mysteriously fading in a passing mist.
On the west, the 5 imposing peaks of the Miravalles volcano theatrically curtain the horizon. In the valley below lays the small and peaceful village of Bijagua.
The mountain top offers a year-long spring-like weather with temperatures between 18 and 30 C, always caressed by a gentle breeze. The region is humid with average annual rainfall of 3800 mm, the summer (dry) months being February to May, August and October.

The Lodge's Style

Celeste Mountain Lodge boasts a very innovative, contemporary design, altering traditional parameters in hotel architecture, opening walls and spaces, blending the different areas and inviting the beauty of the surroundings right inside the building.

The lodge has been designed under bio-climatic standards in order to adapt to the local conditions and under our Responsible Tourism philosophy, offering a comfortable, yet functional accommodation and stay.

The materials used bring a rustic and modern look together, and the details, simplicity and refined creativity, all the way to your plate.
