Welcome to the Green Moon Lodge, my magical dome house in Montezuma. Built and decorated with artwork done by myself and local artists, this is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the surrounding jungle. Located 3 minutes uphill from Montezuma center and the beautiful beaches and waterfalls.
THE DOME HOUSE
I am excited to welcome you to this unique vacation home. The domes are built with aircrete (a special concrete-foam mix) and we made everything ourselves, including each of the 1200 blocks needed for the domes.
The three domes are connected by arches and comprise of one bedroom, one bathroom, and a kitchen/living room area which opens up to a tropical garden facing the jungle.
The BEDROOM is equipped with a queen sized bed and has large, round windows to lounge in and enjoy jungle views. All windows have mosquito screens. During the dry season you can open the roof and enjoy STARGAZING DIRECTLY FROM BED.
The BATHROOM is designed uniquely, equipped with a hot water shower and towels at your disposal. There is also a washing machine you can use.
The central dome is the largest one and offers a generous space for the kitchen and living room. The KITCHEN is fully equipped with a fridge/freezer, stove, blender, and coffee maker.
The spacious LIVING ROOM can be used to do yoga, meditate, or just relax and gaze into the jungle.
The GARDEN has been planted with a range of tropical plants. There is a seating area outside which is especially lovely in the late afternoons. If you want to relax in the shade, there is a hammock under the trees. Monkeys are frequent visitors and the flowers attract beautiful butterflies and humming birds.
LOCATION:
The house is located only a 3 minute drive uphill from Montezuma center in a quiet, relaxing neighborhood. By foot its a 20 minute walk. A taxi costs 6 USD and the bus passes by.
There is plenty of space for parking on the property.
Mobile network reception is very good at the house and fiber optic WiFi is available.
BREAKFAST:
Available on request for an additional price of 12 USD per person/day. We bring you breakfast to the dome house (see examples in the photos) at your preferred hour. Choose from typical Tico breakfast, pancakes, eggs, sausages, vegan, etc. Accompanied by a smoothie.
*Thanks for understanding that the availability of breakfast depends on your travel dates and our other commitments. Send me a message to inquire and well do our best to accommodate your needs!
ABOUT MONTEZUMA
Montezuma is a lovely little beach village on the Nicoya peninsula of Costa Rica, by the Pacific Ocean. You find beautiful beaches, refreshing rivers, waterfalls, tide pools, and lots of jungle life all around you. We are surrounded by several nature reserves so the area is well protected from large developments.
The house is located in a quiet residential neighborhood 1.5 km (1 mile) uphill from Montezuma center and beaches. Monkeys are seen a lot around here, as well as many birds, butterflies, and small animals like agoutis and coatis.
Montezuma center offers locally owned restaurants, a bar, a supermarket, live-music, an artisans market, small shops, a weekly beach market, etc.
There is a small restaurant close by the dome house, they offer a great selection of local dishes for lunch and dinner.
Activities include yoga, canopy ziplining, ATV rentals, snorkeling, horseback riding, jungle hikes, and surfing. An extraordinary highlight are bioluminescence tours, where you can swim in the ocean at nightfall with spectacular blue neon glow surrounding you. Something truly unforgettable!

I am from Vienna, Austria and created my beautiful dream home in Montezuma, Costa Rica.
It's a wonderful place to connect to nature every day. The rivers and waterfalls, beaches, listening to the sounds of the jungle, and watching the many birds, butterflies, and monkeys in the garden.
If you're looking for a truly special place, my magical dome house is the spot for you. Come and visit, Montezuma is a little paradise!

Getting around
The fastest option to get to Montezuma is via domestic flight from San Jose to Cobano (Fly Sansa or Green Airways), Montezuma is only 6km away.
To get to Montezuma from San Jose by car, take the ferry from Puntarenas to Paquera, then drive for another 60 minutes. There is also a direct bus from San Jose (Transportes Cobano).
From Liberia, it's a 4-hour drive to Montezuma.
GETTING AROUND
From the center and beach to the house it's a 20-minute uphill walk. Walking downhill is nice and scenic and my guests often enjoy the walk and the exercise. However, uphill can be hot and sweaty as some parts are steep.
LOCAL BUS
The local Montezuma bus passes not far from the the house 6 times a day, so for getting around it's a good alternative to walking or taking a taxi.
TAXI
A taxi ride from the beach/Montezuma center to the house is about 6 USD. I can provide taxi numbers, they all communicate via WhatsApp.
