Nuevo Arenal Hotels

The small town of Nuevo Arenal sits on the edge of picturesque Lake Arenal, Costa Rica’s largest and most famous lake. While driving from La Fortuna on your way to the beach towns in Guanacaste, you’ll first pass the massive Arenal Volcano as you wind around this beautiful lake witnessing the jaw-dropping beauty of the area. Arriving at Nuevo Arenal you’ll find a town lost in time with cars and horses sharing the same road. Around the lake, there are several accommodations to choose from, from individual owner-run bungalows that include breakfast to yoga retreat hotels with conference capabilities, all with excellent views of the lake. A perfect place to birdwatch, go fishing or have fun wakeboarding. When heading to Nuevo Arenal you’ll feel the drop in temperature as the air currents collide on the continental divide creating frequent showers keeping the hillsides emerald green year round.
