AWE-INSPIRING VIEWS
There are a few, very special, places in the world that are naturally invigorating. They make you feel better, simply by being there. Few of them, however, are as exhilarating and at the same time, as relaxing as Fonda Vela.
The hotel is perched high in the rare and gorgeous cloud forest for which the Monteverde region is famed. So if you specify a visit as a part of your tailor-made holiday to Costa Rica, you’ll be treated to awe-inspiring views over the Gulf of Nicoya. You will be surrounded by verdant tropical gardens. You will be able to explore the natural wonders of the cloud forest. And you’ll be able to enjoy the cultural, environmental and spiritual nurturing that is the Fonda Vela experience.

We had a wonderful safari experience in South Luangwa, Zambia this September. Despite a few unexpected setbacks behind the scenes, everything ran seamlessly for us. Our driver and guide were outstanding, and the standard of accommodation was truly first class.
