CENTRAL COSTA RICA

A Cloud Forest Hotel & Nature Lodge

RESET YOURSELF

Up, up in the sky.

Play Video

Perched above a pristine cloud forest reserve in central Costa Rica, Villa Blanca is a cloud forest hotel that transcends the ordinary. It is a place where you can walk in the clouds, and feel the gentle swirl of mist and mystery surround you. Where skies paint an ever-changing canvas (and destination weddings in Costa Rica take on new meaning). 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.

Are you an avid cloud gazer, birder, photographer, or just someone who loves the great outdoors? Or perhaps a couple planning your destination wedding in Costa Rica. 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 3 remaining cloud forests in Costa Rica.

Our cloud forest is home to countless plants, orchids, trees, and wildlife  – and more than 400 species of birds, making Villa Blanca one of the top Costa Rican birding  “hot spots” on eBird’s global mapping system.

CASITAS & GUEST LODGING

Zen is the new luxury.

Villa Blanca has 6 different types of casitas on its 75-acre property. They’re known as casitas (little houses) because each is separate from the next, offering you the highest level of privacy and tranquility. 

While amenities vary depending on casita-type, each comes with wood or vaulted cane ceilings, a wood burning fireplace, rustic rocking chairs, queen-sized or twin beds, and accommodations for 2-4 guests. Every casita comes furnished with a wardrobe closet and bedside tables with reading lamps, and adjoins an ensuite bathroom with a shower (or optional jacuzzi) and a choice of private garden, terrace or valley views. 

A number of our casitas also offer disability access. If desired, please consult our reservation team.
