Amor Arenal

Amor Arenal stands apart as one of Costa Rica’s most unique and serene retreats — a place where understated elegance meets the untamed beauty of the rainforest. Perched high on the foothills of the Arenal Volcano, the resort’s elevated location offers cool breezes, lush greenery, and panoramic views of both the volcano and the San Carlos Valley.

Each private Casita is an intimate sanctuary with a spa-plunge pool, a volcano-facing deck, and a front porch overlooking the valley, immersing you in nature without sacrificing comfort. Below the Casitas, exclusive rainforest trails invite guests to wander through vibrant flora and fauna and follow the soothing streams of the canyon below.

At Amor Arenal, every detail is designed to capture the essence of “Pura Vida” — nature, wellness, fine cuisine, and heartfelt hospitality — for an unmatched five-star rainforest experience.

Wellness & Relaxation

Amor Arenal’s full-service spa offers three treatment rooms nestled in lush vegetation, where guests can enjoy a wide range of natural therapies and massages. Find peace on the open-air yoga platform overlooking the canyon stream or meditate among the trees on the floating rainforest platform.

For those seeking activity, the state-of-the-art gym offers inspiring valley views and top-quality equipment including ellipticals, rowing machines, treadmills, bikes, strength stations, and a functional training area.
