Amor Arenal

La Fortuna, Costa Rica

In the heart of the rainforest and foothills of Arenal Volcano in Costa Rica.

Property Overview

Its serene elegance and understated luxury are nestled in a wild, verdant rainforest, Amor Arenal sits atop the foothills of Arenal Volcano, where the higher elevation makes for cooler temperatures, and constant breezes are sure to lure you outdoors. Admire a front-row view of the towering Arenal Volcano from your Casita deck and spa-plunge pool. Enjoy a panoramic view of the San Carlos Valley from your front porch. Right below the Casitas, you’ll find paths to explore the surrounding jungle. The trails are perfect for long walks through spectacular local flora and fauna. They offer exclusive access to the babbling streams of the canyon below.

Personalized guest services aim to deliver all aspects of the "Pure Life" or "Pura Vida" as they say in Costa Rica—including nature, wellness, delicious healthy food, and fun. This is an unmatched rainforest immersion experience with impeccable service and five-star amenities through and through.
