Six villas, a yoga deck over the water, healing huts, and a private chef — the whole estate yours for retreats, weddings, and gatherings in the heart of Costa Rica's Arenal.
Elements is a private estate set high in the rainforest above Lake Arenal, with sweeping views of the water and the Arenal Volcano. Six distinct villas, a yoga deck built over the hillside, healing huts, a pool and jacuzzi, and acres of tropical gardens — all yours as a full buyout. Come to slow down, gather your people, and reconnect with nature and yourself.
From the grand Casa Grande to the tucked-away Enchanted Cottage, all six houses are yours when you book Elements. Eleven bedrooms across the property sleep more than thirty guests, each villa with its own character, kitchen, and view of the lake or the jungle canopy.
Retreat leaders, wedding parties, and families return to Elements year after year. Read their reviews across Airbnb, VRBO, and Google.
“I’ve hosted 2 retreats here and each time we have thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Elements Costa Rica. This villa has everything — luxury, views, yoga, amazing food, and a staff that helps us with anything we could ever need or want during our entire stay. I highly recommend this property!”
“We had the absolute pleasure of hosting our wedding at this beautiful villa, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The property is stunning, impeccably maintained… The hosts were truly exceptional — friendly, responsive, and incredibly helpful throughout. One of the highlights was the incredible private chef, Candy and her team. Every meal was beautifully prepared and a huge hit with all of our guests.”
“This place in the rainforest seriously felt like paradise. The property is absolutely beautiful, peaceful, and perfect for larger groups — it had everything we needed and more. If you’re trying to experience the real Costa Rica, this is exactly where you want to be! The views overlooking the water were just incredible.”
“We had the best stay at Elements. The service was absolutely incredible from start to finish — everyone was so helpful and welcoming, and the place was spotless and beautifully maintained. And the views… truly unreal. Waking up to the lake and jungle every day was something we’ll never forget. I recommend starting your day with yoga and the view.”
“First of all, the property is STUNNING. We rented the whole entire property for my wellness retreat, and we had so many rooms and space for my group of 15 people. The views are incredible, and the lodging space is very well taken care of — AC, WiFi, and no bugs inside the houses.”
“Elements Costa Rica is beyond amazing. The pictures do not do it justice — the only way I can describe it is paradise in the jungle. The on-site hosts made it even better, very attentive to everything, including scheduling excursions for us and bringing anything we need immediately. Do not hesitate to book this place.”

Elements was built as a place to be well, share love, and reconnect — with nature, with yourself, and with the people who matter most. It grew from a vision of community, conscious living, and genuine hospitality, and we run it to share those values with everyone who visits.
