Amor Arenal
The warm sunlight breaks through the dense canopy of the rainforest and bathes the majestic silhouette of the volcano in a gentle light. Nestled in the lush vegetation at the base of Arenal Volcano, this exclusive adults-only resort (for guests aged 13 and older) combines contemporary luxury with the unspoiled power of nature. Amor Arenal radiates a peaceful atmosphere marked by absolute tranquility, where the gentle splashing of local natural hot springs accompanies the day. The architecture harmoniously hugs the forested gorge and features sustainably sourced hardwood and generous glass fronts. What sets this retreat apart is the perfect balance of private spa experience and direct connection to the spectacular backdrop of Costa Rica.

Rooms
The private spaces impress with a nature-rich view of the untouched flora of the rainforest and the majestic volcano. An architectural dream made from a combination of various natural materials such as wood, stone, and cotton creates an authentic ambiance. This retreat is overflowing with warmth and coziness. Every detail is coordinated with a keen sense of style, large windows, and fresh flowers allow nature to enter the interior. The panoramic roof invites you to dream: during the day, it offers a view of the volcano's peak, and at night, the starry sky sparkles romantically above the bed. Complementing this, the terrace invites you to linger in utmost privacy amidst the jungle - both from the sun lounger and from the hot tub.
Culinary
Under a traditional thatched roof, surrounded by elegant wooden furniture and warm tone elements, the nature experience continues in the restaurant area. The main restaurant El Rancho serves you healthy food based on the farm-to-table principle using organic ingredients from local gardens – accompanied by Latin American influences and an unobstructed view of the Arenal Volcano. Besides traditional tapas and Costa Rican bocas, La Jaranita Bar delights with specialties from the Tico grill. For enjoyable moments in between, the in-house coffee bar La Granea offers freshly roasted coffee and baked goods, while the Pura Vida Wet Bar enhances the offer by the pool landscapes and intimate evenings in La Cava.
Activities
In addition to exploring the surroundings and their nature, the lake is often used for fishing - and due to the high wind speeds, also for surfing. Love Arenal ultimately awaits its guests with pampering wellness treatments. Soothing, deeply relaxing, and regenerating massages are complemented by yoga and meditation sessions. Furthermore, a fitness room offers the opportunity to work out. As in the entire hotel, nature is also the focus in these areas, which has a special effect on body, mind, and senses.
Location
In the north of Costa Rica, this peaceful area spans its natural wonders. With the Arenal Volcano at its back, the view from the hotel reaches into the depths of the San Carlos valley. Numerous jungle paths entice in La Fortuna - the city of happiness - for beautiful walks. Enriched by the Arenal lake, waterfalls, and lava fields, the area has much to offer for the eyes. This is complemented by a diverse fauna, particularly regarding various bird and fish species.
