in the rainforest
Arenal Rainforest Resort brings a warm, homestyle charm to the lush landscape surrounding Costa Rica’s iconic Arenal Volcano. Tropical gardens blend into rainforest, birdsong carries through the trees, and mist curls around the volcano just beyond the jungle.
From here, Arenal is yours to explore. Follow a rugged trail, visit roaring waterfalls, soak in natural hot springs, or head into La Fortuna to discover the town. Then return to the quiet of the rainforest and let its easy rhythm shape the rest of your day.
