Villa Xanadu sits at the foot of Arenal Volcano, in the quiet Zeta-Trece neighbourhood, about five minutes from downtown La Fortuna — closer to the volcano than the rest of town, with nothing blocking the view. Floor-to-ceiling glass opens the house onto the infinity pool, the gardens and the volcano itself.
Five suites, volcano views
The villa sleeps up to 14 guests in about 465 m². Four bedrooms have king beds, and the bunk room has two queens and two singles — the children’s favourite. Every bedroom has its own bathroom, air conditioning, a terrace or balcony and a view of the volcano.
A pool with a slide
Outside, a jungle waterslide drops into the infinity pool, a rarity in Arenal that delights children and adults alike, next to an outdoor hot tub for sunset soaks. A sunken lounge, a large deck, a covered dining area and a barbecue make it easy to spend whole days at home, often with sloths, toucans, parrots or monkeys passing through the garden.
Looked after every day
A house mum cooks a traditional Costa Rican breakfast for every guest each morning and keeps the villa tidy, and a dedicated concierge arranges the rest: hot springs, tours, spa treatments, private chef dinners, airport transfers, grocery pre-stocking or a celebration. Guests also have free access to the Arenal Oasis hiking trail.
