11-Bedroom Property for sale in San Carlos, Costa Rica

This turnkey retreat-style hospitality property is located in La Fortuna, situated on valuable commercial land close to the Fortuna Waterfall. The property presents significant potential for modernization and repositioning. La Fortuna is recognized as a high-demand tourism destination, known for attractions such as Arenal Volcano, hot springs, rainforest adventures, rafting, hanging bridges, and the iconic Fortuna Waterfall. The area enjoys strong year-round visitation and consistent demand for retreat, educational, and group-based travel.

Strategically positioned on Calle de la Catarata, the main access road to the Fortuna Waterfall, the property is approximately 2 km from the waterfall and 2 km from the center of La Fortuna. This location offers excellent accessibility, making it well-suited for hospitality and event-driven operations.

The retreat property spans 11,080 m² (2.74 acres) and boasts views of Arenal Volcano, with direct frontage along Río La Fortuna. The river boundary enhances the natural setting and guest experience, contributing to the long-term intrinsic value of the land. The combination of a prime tourism corridor location and river frontage is becoming increasingly rare in the La Fortuna market. The size of the parcel also allows for future expansion, additional lodging units, or enhanced event facilities.

Originally operated as a Christian camp, the property is designed for group-based hospitality, with an estimated accommodation capacity for 80 to 100 guests. The lodging infrastructure includes a total of 11 cabins, comprising eight standard cabins with private bathrooms and three larger family-style cabins, each featuring two bathrooms. Additionally, the property includes 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 facilitate structured group dining and catering operations.
