Villa Blanca Cloud Forest Hotel

A mountain-village stay in the cloud forest

Villa Blanca Cloud Forest Hotel brings the scale of a mountain village to a cloud-forest stay. Designed to recall a nineteenth-century Costa Rican village, the hotel sits on Los Angeles Private Biological Reserve near San Ramón, about an hour from Juan Santamaría International Airport. The forest is a reason to spend time here, with birdwatching and walks offering a closer look at the setting.

Let the day leave room for both exploration and comfort. Gardens and trails invite a walk, Serenity Spa offers treatments, and the Jacuzzi, mini gym, game room and television lounge provide other ways to spend time at the hotel. Massage and beauty treatments add to the spa choices. A bar, currency exchange, laundry service, private parking and internet access help with the practical side of a longer trip.

Costa Rican dining with a distant volcano view

El Sendero Restaurant serves Costa Rican cuisine. On clear days, its outlook reaches toward Arenal Volcano, adding a distant landmark to the forest setting. Complimentary breakfast is provided daily.

Choose your cloud-forest accommodation

The accommodation includes casitas and suites, with room features varying by category. Terraces, sitting areas and partial jungle views connect several options with the setting; selected suites have hot tubs. If a wood-burning fireplace, a whirlpool bath overlooking the forest, a sofa bed or a particular queen-or-twin bed arrangement is central to your plans, have your vacation specialist confirm the accommodation before reserving.

For accommodation, compare the current named categories and their features. Casita Clasica has coffee service, a fan, internet, a sitting area, terrace and partial jungle view. Junior Suite adds a hot tub; Silencio Suite includes a hot tub, desk, hairdryer, phone and safe; Presidential includes air conditioning and cable television as well as a hot tub. Selected categories have complimentary internet. The mix lets you choose a room around the comforts you want, rather than assume every casita or suite has the same facilities.

Explore the cloud forest

A walk in the cloud forest can be the main pleasure of an afternoon or evening here, with plants and birdlife inviting a closer look. Guided birdwatching offers a more focused way to explore, while a visit to La Paz Waterfall Gardens can extend the day beyond the reserve. Both outings have daily departures and can be arranged through Pacific Trade Winds.
