LA FORTUNA, COSTA RICA
A small hotel at the foot of Arenal.
Eight rooms, tropical gardens, and a direct view of the volcano from every private terrace.
A quiet place to come back to.
Villas Vilma sits two kilometers west of La Fortuna on the road to Arenal Volcano. It is a family establishment, gated and calm, with a pool and a covered jacuzzi surrounded by tropical gardens that the hummingbirds and butterflies have also agreed to call home.
Every room opens onto a private terrace with views of Arenal and Cerro Chato. The town is a short drive away when you want it, and far enough when you don't.
Four rooms, one view.
Every room opens onto a private terrace with Arenal in front of you. The only real difference is how many of you are traveling.

Walk rainforest trails on a volcano hike, then see the La Fortuna Waterfall and the hanging bridges. One package, one quote, less planning.
Lodging + Canopy Tour
Fly through the rainforest canopy with the volcano on the horizon. Built for travelers who want the adrenaline day done well.
Ten minutes from the volcano, five minutes from town.
The hotel is 2 kilometers west of La Fortuna, on Route 142 toward Arenal Volcano National Park. Close enough to walk to restaurants and shops, far enough that you hear birds in the morning instead of traffic. La Fortuna airport is 15 minutes away. San José international is 2 hours 40 minutes.

“We woke to birdsong every morning and spent the evenings in the porch hammock. It's small, peaceful, and friendly, with a lovely pool and jacuzzi where we spotted toucans and hummingbirds. Villas Vilma has a special feel — we'd happily go back.”
“A far better experience than the big all-inclusives. You can tell the family takes pride in the grounds — the gardens were beautifully manicured — and the staff were fantastic, even helping us book every tour.”
“Beautifully kept, clean, and comfortable. After two weeks in Costa Rica, this was the hotel we liked most — a lovely garden, a magnificent view of the volcano, and genuinely warm hosts.”
