Selvista: Casa Chilamate canopy top jungle studio - Nature lodges for Rent in Magdalena, Rivas Department, Nicaragua

Ok where to begin? I cannot say enough about how restorative and beautiful this property is - and I imagine the same of any of the casitas on the Selvista farm. It’s definitely as described; a treehouse casita, so yes there are monkeys and birds and geckos talking at all hours - if you’re a light sleeper bring some earplugs, but for me honestly I loved it, along with fireflies dancing around in the evenings and the sounds of tropical rainstorms. The staff on property are incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and all in such sincere community with one another - a lot of laughter and genuine enthusiasm coming from the kitchen - which I think needs to be on a Michelin list asap. Fresh, local, straight from the farm, ingredients make for super nourishing meals; something as simple as home baked bread and tomatoes becomes elevated when the quality is so high - coffee with coconut milk and honey, I couldn’t get enough. We hope to come back soon, the entire experience was magic ✨✨✨

Beautiful spot, just as described/seen in the pictures. We used the shared kitchen to make food, and tried plantain, coconut and jackfruit from the property. Breakfast was delicious - recommend the French toast!  No bugs bothered ys at all despite being wet snd rainy on and off. We had hoped to see some monkeys - heard them but had no luck. Saw beautiful birds and butterflies though. It really is a peaceful quiet and soulful experience that we highly recommend!

Incredibly responsive and helpful as we navigated our way from Managua. Beautiful lodging in an idyllic and peaceful spot, pictures can barely do it justice. We stayed at the tail end of the rainy season and basically had the spot all to ourselves

We had a wonderful stay. Everyone was super nice and helpful, and the property is absolutely beautiful. Truly feels like you are sleeping in a treehouse in a rainforest. A great place to stay on Ometepe. Would stay again!

We had a wonderful time! The property is located in the middle of nature, surrounded by the jungle – perfect for switching off and experiencing the beauty of Ometepe up close. Everything was very well maintained and designed to be close to nature. A little tip: Be sure to read the directions carefully, otherwise it's pretty hard to find. If you are looking for peace, nature and an authentic jungle feeling, this is the place to be. Highly recommended!

Wir hatten eine wunderbare Zeit! Die Unterkunft liegt mitten in der Natur, umgeben vom Dschungel – perfekt, um abzuschalten und die Schönheit von Ometepe hautnah zu erleben. Alles war sehr gepflegt und naturverbunden gestaltet. Ein kleiner Tipp: Unbedingt die Wegbeschreibung genau lesen, sonst ist es ziemlich schwierig zu finden. Wer Ruhe, Natur und authentisches Dschungelfeeling sucht, ist hier genau richtig. Sehr empfehlenswert!

This stay was special in exactly the way we thought it would be. You’re sleeping right in the middle of the jungle, but protected with a net on the bed. You can hear all sorts of animals throughout the night and day which enhances your experience. The restaurant on the grounds is magnificent and has amazing food. Our host Megan was so supportive and proactive with our constant change in travel plans. She also helped setting up a guide to hike the volcano as well as took care of our ferry tickets to come in (we did ourselves for the way back due to last minute changes and it was a huge pain) Overall, if you’re looking to be immersed in nature on an island with several good restaurants and plenty of things to do. This stay is perfectly located for that and offers great value for the price.

Authentic jungle experience! Upside: 1) Good location 2) relaxing, serene experience, 3) very nice host 4) Sunset view But certain things could really be better, 1) The room is not sealed properly, spiders, lizards, and insects everywhere, 2) ceiling fan helps nothing 3) Shower water is very weak, 4) No hot water, 5) Towels are old and rough, 6) we went in October and it was really hot by day and night We chose this location because we wanted to go camping in the jungle, but we were not in the mood of going in a tent , But this felt more like a tent

Had a lovely time staying at Casa Chilamate! The grounds were beautiful, and the staff were incredibly accommodating and helpful.

For what you get in comparison to other accommodations in Ometepe and Nicaragua highly overpriced. Breakfast is included but do not expect too much…

Great place, great hosts. They helped us book our boats to come to the island because we were told at the port that there was no more space. They were very responsive before and during our stay. The place is beautiful. The service provided by the on-site employees is impeccable. A MUST, the pizzeria which is 7-8 minutes by car from the site. Several very interesting services offered on the site itself.

Superbe place, super hôtes. Ils nous ont aidé à réserver nos bateaux pour venir sur l'île car on nous disait au port qu'il n'y avait plus de place. Ils ont été très réactif avant et pendant notre séjour. L'endroit est magnifique. Le service offert par les employés sur place est impeccable. UN MUST, la pizzeria qui se trouve à 7-8 minutes d'automobile du site. Plusieurs services très intéressant offert sur le site même.

Treehouse in the jungle. The host Megan was extremely responsive and booked everything we needed. The treehouse is very open and so it gets extremely hot with no air conditioning and there was also a lot of spiders, I don’t think I realized the treehouse is so open I figured it was completely enclosed. It’s in a good location close to many beautiful sights. Breakfast at the restaurant was good.

Charming accommodation nestled in the Ometepe jungle. Excellent view of the volcano from the restaurant which served delicious local farm grown food - dinner here is a must! Magdelena was incredibly helpful in booking taxis, ATVs etc. Worth noting the accommodation is set in the jungle with lots of nature everywhere! Would recommend staying here.

I highly recommend this place. If I know any friends or family planning to go to Ometepe I will recommend Christopher's place. I really liked the farm-to-table food, the happy hour drink specials, the friendliness of the staff, and the overall high quality and peacefulness of the setting and buildings. Lots of birds too!

Great place! We stayed 4 nights as a couple and had a lovely time here. You definitely will be around lots of critters - takes a bit of getting used to if you are coming from a town or city, but you know this when you book and it’s part of the experience! Place was clean, had towels and drinking water in the rooms. Restaurant on site is lovely and breakfast was delicious with big portions! Free fruit available for guests. It is far out and we wouldn’t recommend for anyone without a vehicle of some kind. We arrived via bus which was a bit of a nightmare, and once we hired a scooter we felt much better. Staff were lovely, always very smiley and keen to help out in any way possible. Overall it is a great place to spend a few nights on Ometepe, we would definitely return and stay here!

We enjoyed our stay very much. You are in the middle of nature, there are great offers for activities and the food in the restaurant was very nice. The staff is very accommodating and friendly. Only, you should be prepared for animal visits (ants, spiders, iguanas) in the room, which may be a bit daunting. Pure nature

Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Man ist mitten in der Natur, es gibt tolle Angebote für Aktivitäten und das Essen im Restaurant war sehr fein. Das Personal ist sehr zuvorkommend und freundlich. Einzig, man sollte sich auf tierischen Besuch (Ameisen, Spinnen, Leguane) im Zimmer einstellen, was vielleicht etwas abschreckend sein kann. Natur Pur

wonderful place with even more wonderful people who working here! totally nothing to lament!!!

The room (treehouse) and property are great, but that’s not difficult when you’re nestled in a rainforest like environment. We visited during the off-season so I am aware that may affect my experience, but we were disappointed by the lack of community and farm experience that was advertised. Directions listed on Airbnb and via the booking confirmation email were not clear and when we reached out to Chris we were directed to their website. Staff were friendly and made a great breakfast of locale cuisine. Good location on a quieter side of the island. 30-60 min drive from the ferries.

Tune in with nature and loved the breakfast and the fresh fruits from the farm in the kitchen and also the restaurant options to order in from and the drinks in the fridge. I think it was very quaint.

I had a FANTASTIC experience with Selvista. Would definitely visit again. - The jungle studio (Casa Chilamate) was a perfect vibe. I could see all kinds of birds, butterflies, and monkeys from the screened windows. - The breakfast included with the stay was super fresh and tasty. - I would highly recommend booking a massage. One of the best massages I’ve ever had in my opinion. -The day tour with my driver Denise was so much fun. If you’re a solo traveler I’d recommend this as well. Lots of laughs, singing/dancing to music in between rides, delicious food, air conditioning, and a whole island to admire/explore.

Such a fantasticly unique stay at the edge of one of the volcanos! The staff were lovely and super helpful. The location is peaceful and out of the way, lots of wildlife to explore and food to pick. We did the smaller volcano hike, kayak tour, massages and enjoyed it all very much. I would recommend this stay for anyone looking for an immersive jungle experience!

We loved the beautiful location and feeling of being in the jungle, and waking up to the sound of birds and howler monkeys every morning. The place is a good 20 minute trek from the nearest shop so be prepared, especially in the evenings. We cooked a few times in the kitchen which although very picturesque could do with a few more basics (eg. spoons). It also wasn’t clear who was in charge or who to ask about things - we read a lot about permaculture tours in the welcome pack and getting involved on the farm but the staff serving breakfast didn’t seem to know about them and there was a significant language barrier. Big thanks to Denis for dealing with the family of red ants who were nesting under our bed.

Great jungly vibes, delicious breakfast, positive vibes with all the staff too

What an incredible stay, I loved the permaculture aspect of the location- sustainable in regards to nature and respectful in regards to the local people. This is how it should be done in my eyes. Megan was an incredibly helpful host- it was my first solo international travel experience and she helped set me up with transportation from & to the airport (s/o to Danny ❤️). She has great recommendations for local excursions as well (s/o to Ericks ❤️). The Staff were also fantastic, they were locals and were helpful and kind (s/o to Carlos ❤️). I had the best time and would definitely recommend this stay.

We had an absolutely incredible stay at Selvista. The cabin was amazing,  and everyone was so kind and helpful. I would love to come back some day.

A unique experience sleeping in the jungle canopy. The room and Selvista grounds are very peaceful, allowing us to relax and disconnect. The room and terrace were a good size for 2. We enjoyed chilling in our hammock on the terrace, getting our cooked breakfast in the mornings and listening to the sounds of the jungle from our bed. The room, showers and toilets were all very clean, however you will be sharing the room with some small animals. The bug net keeps everything out of the bed and from there we found it entertaining watching the geckos catching their dinner on our ceiling.

We had a fun time in this Airbnb! You have to enjoy nature, as insects will visit your room but we enjoyed our stay  a lot!

We loved staying in the tree house! Had a great experience i would recommend staying here it’s such a cool place.

We had an awesome stay at Selvista, and a huge part was the kind/endlessly helpful staff! Helpful recommendations and lots of amazing activities nearby. A cooked breakfast and snuggles from the farm dogs was a great start each day. WiFi was good enough to work, little choppy at points on calls. Keep in mind - you’re staying in a farm in the jungle, so there will be bugs and heat.

Absolutely recommended There is the feeling of sleeping directly in a forest. If I come back to Ometepe, I will be your guest for sure... Greetings Franky

Absolut empfehlenswert Es gibt einen das Gefühl direkt in einem Wald zu schlafen. Wenn ich wieder nach Ometepe komme, bin ich auf Sicher euer Gast... Gruß Franky

Our stay at Selvista was exceptional to say the least! Awesome accommodation right up in the jungle with regular views of the wildlife + visits from the friendly on site dogs. Megan was a very accommodating host, great communicator and always happy to offer advice. Our volcano guide, Enrique, was also amazing! Couldn’t recommend him more. The accommodation was as good as advertised and the morning breakfast was even better.

Great stay! Megan was very helpful and informative. The space is beautiful with some amazing views. definitely do the tour of the farm if you have the chance. Would love to stay again! :)

Absolutely amazing property hidden in the jungle on Ometepe. Waking up to the sound of howler monkeys and birds was incredible. The staff were amazing and very responsive to any queries we had. Breakfast was tasty and a great way to meet fellow travellers, and getting delivery to the property from Cafe Campestre is a must. We couldn’t recommend this property enough, each lodge has been designed to perfection. We can’t wait to return one day to see what future projects they are working on look like. Thanks so much for having us.

Selvista Guesthouses were a perfect Christmas stay in Ometepe. Megan is a wonderful host who will organize anything you need over your stay while on the island. The communal breakfasts in the morning made meeting other travellers and sharing travel plans/ideas easy. Paula masterfully handles the kitchen as well and serves up fantastic plates. Don’t leave without trying the jackfruit hummus!! Walking distance to Cafe Campestre which is a must stop in while in Balgue. Falafel wrap with chilli oil is next level. Think we ate there four times. Can’t say enough good things about this place, head for yourself and experience it!

Thoughtful eco lodges with friendly, helpful hosts! Word of warning, some of the lodges don’t have bathrooms attached so be sure to ask for details. Overall a magical space and great spot to use as a home base to explore Ometepe.

What a magical experience. Everyone was so helpful, kind and knowledgeable. Selvista and Finca Bona Fide are doing amazing things. The casas are well equipped with nice touches. Between my husband and I and friends we stayed in three casas: Jungle View canopy suite, Jackfruit House and Forest View Suite. Jungle View and Jackfruit are elevated and Forest View was ground level with another casa in same structure above you. We loved the Jungle View and Jackfruit suites. The views from these were amazing: birds, butterflies, and jungle. So beautiful. We saw the Milky Way on New Year’s Eve with local fireworks going off in the distance surrounded by the jungle — simply magical! The construction of the casas was amazing and we appreciated the attention to details. Breakfast every morning was delicious and there was always a bowl of fruits they had harvested from the jungle available for you to help yourself to. They had beer, wine and chocolate and other small goods available for purchase and another favorite thing was pizza DELIVERY in the jungle to your casa. The island does require logistics to really explore and get around and Megan helped arrange and answered questions quickly and easily. Our favorite thing was renting 4x4s and a motorcycle to explore the island. So much fun! I will say the prices of everything were much higher than we anticipated. Food, drinks, the rentals and tours were all very high compared to other Latin American countries we’ve traveled in and it was a surprise to us. Overall a beautiful experience, thanks Selvista for everything!

The Selvista was amazing! It is a great place that married nature and comfort. You do need to be aware that this location is all about being in nature and also with nature, meaning that you will see a lot of birds and bugs to only name a few. The central area is a perfect place to eat, socialize and plan you next day. Megan knows everything about what there is to do, the plants and life that surround the area and the history of the place. In the first 10 minutes we got there we had all our activies set up. There is also always someone there or someone we could call to answer every of our questions and needs. Thanks to all the Selvista Team! We defenitly recommend.

Such a beautiful property with my thoughtful touches. The breakfasts were delicious!

Great place to stay off the beaten path the cabine was wonderful we really enjoyed our stay.

If you want a truly unique experience, Selvista is the way to go. Beyond beautiful views. It is a one of a kind experience. Highly recommend staying here. We hope to be back in the future!

Great place to stay. I would highly recommend selvista

We are travelling for 7 months in our van now and we are really used to be in the nature, with animals, always outside etc and we love it!! So, pictures give a better atmosphere than in real. Around the cabanas it could be little better (a lot of coconut trees with old palms on the floor). Impossible to stay in the kitchen area with all the bugs around (no mosquito net). To be short : we really don't understand how the cabana has been build... with mosquito net OK but not everywhere, not until the top of the celling???? so of course it's totally useless because all the "bugs as wasps", "spiders" can come inside + NO mosquitos net around the bamboo walls.... so yeah OK it's fun to have 1 or 2 spiders with us... but when at night you have more than 10 spiders around you I really don't understand how it's possible to be "happy" in this environment... We were hesitating to come back in our van to sleep... The cleanliness wasn't perfect... dead bugs on the desk, dust, and a bug flying inside the mosquito net of the bed but the bathroom was really clean. Anyway to see the monkeys and the beautiful birds from the terrasse was really cool but that something that I can have without paying an airbnb...! Otherwise, the staff is really nice and the service is great.

The place is amazing! The location has beautiful views, some better than others depending on the room you're staying in (ask when booking). Being surrounded by nature is a real experience, if you do not like to live with insects (spiders mainly), it is not a place for you. The staff who take care of the property is very friendly and friendly, they helped us a lot with recommendations and telling us more about the town.  Delicious breakfast. It is worth considering that it is located in a town more or less far from the arrival ports of the ferry and buses to there are not as frequent. For everything else, I would definitely stay here again.

¡El lugar es increíble! La ubicación tiene unas vistas bellísimas, algunas mejores que otras según la habitación en que te hospedes (pregunta al reservar). Estar rodeados de naturaleza es toda una experiencia, si no te gusta convivir con insectos (arañas principalmente), no es un lugar indicado para ti. El personal que cuida la finca es muy amable y amigable, nos ayudaron mucho con recomendaciones y contándonos más sobre la localidad.  El desayuno delicioso. Vale la pena considerar que se ubica en una localidad más o menos lejos de los puertos de llegada del ferry y los buses hasta ahí no son tan frecuentes. Por todo lo demás, sin duda volvería a hospedarme aquí.

Great spot to stay if you’re hiking Maderas. They set up a guide for us and made it super easy.

This is a place you should visit without any doubt. It cannot be explained just go there and be part of the jungle. The host is so helpfull and will always help out. Thank you so ❤️

We had a lovely time at Casa Chlimate. The view is very nice with a view of the monkeys in the morning. Megan booked us some tripps, e.g. kayaking, horseback riding and hiking up the Maderas, which worked out great. The breakfast was rather disappointing, there was only a small plate of fruit and two fried eggs. Unfortunately, your chef speaks no English and it was also a bit difficult to communicate with her with the Spanish translator.

Wir hatten eine schöne Zeit in dem Casa Chlimate. Der Ausblick ist sehr schön mit Blick auf die Affen morgens. Megan hat uns einige Tripps gebucht z.B. Kajak fahren, Reiten und den Maderas hochwandern, dass hat alles super geklappt. Das Frühstück war eher enttäuschend, es gab nur einen kleinen Teller Obst und zwei Spiegeleier. Dir Köchin spricht leider kein Englisch und auch mit dem spanischen Übersetzer war es etwas schwierig mit ihr zu kommunizieren.

Fantastic jungle escape! Wish we had stayed more than 2 nights!

Selvista is a very special place, we could not recommend staying here enough. The room was gorgeous and so relaxing. The staff were incredibly helpful and the breakfast varied and delicious! The farm itself is so interesting and we just couldn’t have asked for a better unique stay in ometepe. This 100% the place to be!

Fantastic property in good location. Megan will help you with all the local tips and ticks. The area is so calm and relaxing. Breakfast is delicious and worth getting up for, you can even pick a salad out of the garden for lunch!

Such a great treetop retreat in the jungle! Megan was a superb host and had informative tips about the island and excursions. The home cooked breakfast was exquisite and it was nice to be able to pick our own fruits from the garden and take them for snacks on our adventures. We loved the herd of animals there, and all the love and snuggles we received from them! Including the piglets :)

My son and I enjoyed our stay at the Selvista Eco farm. Our room was rustic yet very comfortable situated in the jungle canopy with amazing views from the room and outdoor deck. You will never go hungry staying at this property as there are abundant tropical fruits and organic greens that you are welcome to harvest and prepare fruit or garden salads in the open air, fully complemented communal kitchen. The included farm fresh breakfast was wholesome and delicious and offers open cup organic coffee and garden lemon grass tea. The fresh picked fruit bowl in the kitchen was always full and you are welcome to select what you want to take along on your daily island explorations. The host Megan and local staff were kind and helpful and took the time to acquaint my son with the wide variety of fruits growing on the property and to explain the infrastructure and watering system in place to support the fresh herbs and greens growing in the gardens. The highlight of our stay was getting up early on our last morning and selecting fresh lettuce, spinach and herbs from the garden and with the assistance of local breakfast chef Brenda, putting together a scrumptious garden salad to share with the other guests and staff. Selvista Eco farm is an amazing educational opportunity for anyone who wants to see sustainable and organic practices in place and fully functioning, with the benefit of enjoying the bounty and incomparable taste of fresh harvested organic fruit and produce.
