Fortuna Retreat

A private terrace with Arenal in view

Fortuna Retreat brings a personal scale to a rainforest stay: a family-owned boutique hotel, gardens around the accommodation and Arenal Volcano drawing your eye beyond the terrace. Choose a Premium Villa and a private plunge pool becomes part of the experience, with room to spend an afternoon at home between outings. A shower overlooking an internal garden adds another connection to the greenery, even in the most ordinary moments of the day.

For a solo traveler, too, the retreat can give an Arenal trip a personal pace. Head out to the park or waterfall, then return to the garden and terrace without feeling that every spare hour needs another plan. The family-owned character and smaller boutique setting make that quieter time part of the appeal.

The pleasure here is in choosing the space that fits your trip. Panoramic View Rooms put the volcano outlook at the center of a stay for two, while Family Rooms give a small family or group more room to settle in. Give the terrace a little of your vacation time: coffee before an outing, a pause afterward, and the volcano drawing your attention beyond the garden.

Three ways to settle into the landscape

Choose the accommodation around these differences:

• Premium Villas: 85 square meters, a spacious terrace, front garden and private plunge pool, plus a shower overlooking an internal garden.
• Panoramic View Rooms: 50 square meters and a private terrace with volcano views, for a stay centered on that outlook.
• Family Rooms: 75 square meters, a terrace and garden, with a layout designed to accommodate guests with mobility needs. Discuss your particular access requirements when choosing.

Queen-size beds, air conditioning and Smart TVs provide familiar comforts across the rooms. Wi-Fi and a dedicated workstation let you take care of a little work if necessary, while stocked mini-bars and free parking add practical convenience. Family Rooms also have a single bed. The accommodation choices make a real difference to the stay, particularly if a private pool or extra sleeping space is high on your list.

Rainforest days, at your own pace

Arenal National Park is nearby, while La Fortuna Waterfall and downtown La Fortuna are minutes away, giving you different directions to explore. Spend a day discovering the region's biodiversity, make a waterfall visit part of the itinerary or plan a soak at natural hot springs nearby. Those are outings beyond the hotel; the retreat's appeal is having your own quiet space to return to afterward.

Energy-efficient systems and sustainable amenities are part of Fortuna Retreat's approach to caring for its surroundings. For a traveler drawn to a smaller, family-owned property, the combination is inviting: the adventures of Arenal beyond the grounds, and a terrace, garden or private plunge pool waiting at the end of the day.
