Each Villa includes a wrap-around balcony, where you can take in views of the rainforest or Arenal Volcano. No matter which style of accommodations you choose, you will find everything you need to start your mornings with a hot cup of coffee or tea before heading to breakfast. Organic bath products and plush robes and slippers to relax in are provided, and you’ll have a private balcony with a hammock and a Jacuzzi tub.

Visit Asia Luna for Latin American-Asian fusion cuisine in a colourful dining room, or share small plates and long stories at Nostalgia Wine & Tapas. Enjoy local flavours in an open-air setting at La Terraza Del Arenal, where you can savour fresh Costa Rican ceviche, coconut and avocado rice and whole red snapper prepared Caribbean-style. Take a mixology class at Kali-Kali Swim-Up Bar, take part in a coffee roasting experience at Mi Cafecito Espresso Bar or simply unwind with live music and tropical cocktails at Bar Azul.

While the entire resort offers a sense of deep relaxation, one of the best ways to spend an afternoon is by treating yourself to a massage or body scrub featuring local ingredients in an open-air treatment room at the award-winning spa. You could also take part in a yoga session surrounded by the lush rainforest. For a romantic experience, book a side-by-side couple's massage or a "Nature Escape" package featuring a couple's foot soak, facial, massage, snacks and a rose petal Jacuzzi soak.
