RESET YOURSELF
Up, up in the sky.

Perched above a pristine cloud forest reserve in central Costa Rica, Hotel Villa Blanca transcends the ordinary. It is a place where you can literally walk in the clouds, and feel the gentle swirl of mist and mystery surround you. Where toucans grace treetops and the skies paint an ever-changing canvas. But more than just a place, Villa Blanca is an experience; one that will renew you, maybe even change you.
There is, as our guests like to say, “magic in the air.”
THE SETTING
A nature lover's paradise, just off the beaten path.
Whether you’re a cloud gazer, avid birder or photographer, or just someone who loves the great outdoors, you’ll be captivated by what’s here. Less than 90 minutes from the capitol San José, at 4500 feet above sea level and spread across a 2000-acre reserve, the Los Angeles Cloud Forest is one of the most biodiverse ecosystems; and one of the last remaining cloud forests in Costa Rica.
The cloud forest is home to thousands of plants, trees, and orchids – and more than 350 species of birds, including toucans, flycatchers, and hummingbirds; and the rarest of all, the Resplendent Quetzal.

The melodies of tropical birds create the perfect soundtrack for a fairy tale wedding. This is Villa Blanca, winner of the 2021 International Award for “Best Costa Rican Wedding.”
Overlooking the cloud forest on a green, grassy knoll is Mariana, an historic and iconic wedding chapel.
