Property Description
Turnkey retreat-style hospitality property in La Fortuna, positioned on prime commercial land near the Fortuna Waterfall, with significant upside through modernization and repositioning.
LA FORTUNA – HIGH-DEMAND TOURISM DESTINATION
La Fortuna is one of Costa Rica's most resilient tourism markets, internationally recognized for Arenal Volcano, hot springs, rainforest adventures, rafting, hanging bridges, and the iconic Fortuna Waterfall. The area benefits from strong year-round visitation and consistent demand for retreat, educational, and group-based travel.
STRATEGIC LOCATION – CALLE DE LA CATARATA
Located on Calle de la Catarata, the primary access road to the Fortuna Waterfall (approximately 2 km away) and only 2 km from La Fortuna town center. This corridor offers excellent accessibility and strong positioning for hospitality and event-driven operations.
LAND – BORDERING RÍO LA FORTUNA
The retreat property consists of 11,080 m² (2.74 acres) with Arenal Volcano views and direct frontage along Río La Fortuna. The river boundary enhances the natural setting, guest experience, and long-term intrinsic value of the land.
The combination of prime tourism corridor location and river frontage is increasingly rare in the La Fortuna market. The parcel size also allows for future expansion, additional lodging units, or enhanced event facilities.
IMPROVEMENTS
Originally operated as a Christian camp, the property is purpose-built for group-based hospitality with an estimated accommodation capacity of 80 to 100 guests. The lodging infrastructure includes 11 cabins in total, consisting of eight standard cabins with private bathrooms and three larger family-style cabins featuring two bathrooms each.
The property also features a spacious event hall suitable for retreats, conferences, weddings, and special events. A fully equipped commercial kitchen and a secondary kitchen near the outdoor kiosko support structured group dining and catering operati
