Visit Magic Mountain Hotel

Wake up to volcano scenery.

Welcome to Magic Mountain Hotel

Hotel Magic Mountain is a 108-room hotel - akin to a mini-resort- located close to everything in the Arenal Volcano area of Costa Rica. This area is famous as Costa Rica's adventure capital, offering more to see and do than just about any other part of the country. Volcano hikes, rainforests, birdwatching, wildlife, and nature are here. Hiking, mountain biking, zip-lining, river rafting, tubing, caving, and much more are all possible. And Magic Mountain is in the heart of it all.

Comfortable and Friendly

Guests at this hotel will stay in a comfortable, family-friendly atmosphere. Each guest room or suite at Magic Mountain offers a beautiful view of the nearby Arenal Volcano, which is great to enjoy from the balcony. Decorated in soothing terracotta colors, they all come with a choice of two queen beds or a king, plus the standard amenities you should expect, like WiFi, satellite/cable TV, air conditioning, coffee maker, safe, and more. Some of the suites even come with their jacuzzis.

The hotel offers two distinctive restaurants - one serving international cuisine and another high-end steakhouse - and has two bars to enjoy, a sports bar, and something for those poolside cocktails. Breakfast is included in the nightly rate at Magic Mountain.

Speaking of poolside, the large, freeform pool (complete with waterfalls) sits amid lush tropical gardens underneath the volcano. It's a perfect place to enjoy downtime between Arenal activities or to relax and cool off after one of the many adventures in these parts.

Wellness seekers will also find something they like at Magic Mountain. The Magic Grand Spa offers a soothing array of services, including massages, facials, and other body treatments. There's also a sauna area and jacuzzis to enjoy.

Family-Friendly and Great Volcano Views

Hotel Magic Mountain is fun! It's all there in the name, for a start, a name that kids will love and enjoy saying to their friends, which makes this small resort-like hotel in Costa Rica's Arenal Volcano area perfect for families.

The volcano is easy to see from Hotel Magic Mountain. You will not be disappointed. 

Easy Access to Everything

Magic Mountain, above all, offers convenience and comfort. It's close enough to La Fortuna to quickly grab a taxi, take a shuttle, or even walk to the town and its restaurants and stores. And it's within easy distance of many of Arenal's famous volcanic hot springs and all the nature and adventure you and your family desire.

This isn't an ultra-luxurious hotel. It's not super romantic, intimate, or surrounded by rainforests and wildlife. But it's friendly, comfortable, close to everything, offers excellent value, and is a ton of fun.
