Our history

A Dream Born on the Slopes of Arenal

Lomas del Volcán was born in 1999 on what was once a family‑owned farm located at the foot of the majestic Arenal Volcano. At that time, La Fortuna was an emerging destination, surrounded by lush nature and rural roads, and the idea of building a hotel in the middle of the mountain was as challenging as it was inspiring. With vision, effort, and a deep respect for the land, the first seven wooden bungalows were built, designed to blend harmoniously with the environment. From the very beginning, the intention was clear: to create an authentic retreat where every guest could feel the tranquility of the forest, the energy of the volcano, and the warmth of Costa Rican hospitality.

Over the years, the hotel grew organically while always preserving its original essence. New trails, gardens, wellness spaces, and services were added to enrich the experience, without losing the intimate connection with the nature that saw us grow. Today, Lomas del Volcán features 75 bungalows, yet its spirit remains unchanged. The hotel continues to be owned by the same local family who founded it—a project passed down through generations and still guided by the same values: respect for the land, a love for hospitality, and a genuine commitment to offering memorable experiences in one of the most special places in Costa Rica.
