Scrolling through Airbnb options in Costa Rica can be overwhelming, hundreds of properties, similar photos, and promises that all sound the same. But there’s one name that consistently appears at the top of wishlist saves and five-star reviews: Arenal Hills. With over 100 luxury villas now available for short-term rental, these properties are redefining what travelers expect from their Costa Rica Airbnb experience.
What Makes an Arenal Hills Airbnb Different?
When you book most Airbnb properties, you’re essentially staying in someone’s house. When you book Arenal Hills, you’re gaining access to an entire luxury resort community that happens to offer vacation rentals. Every guest gets the same exclusive amenities that would normally cost hundreds of dollars extra at a resort.
Here’s what’s included with every Arenal Hills Airbnb booking:
- Private waterfall pools in every villa (not just a regular pool!)
- Golf cart for your entire stay to cruise around the property
- 24/7 concierge service for tours, restaurants, and activities
- Gated community security so you can truly relax
Try finding another Airbnb that includes world-class resort access and concierge service. You won’t.
What Sets Arenal Hills Apart from Other Rentals
The Experience Guests Are Looking For
When travelers search for the perfect Costa Rica Airbnb, they’re looking for more than just a place to sleep. They want an experience that combines luxury, convenience, and authenticity. Arenal Hills delivers on all three fronts by offering resort-style amenities within private villa accommodations.
Based on industry trends and guest feedback patterns for luxury vacation rentals in Costa Rica, Arenal Hills addresses the most common desires travelers express: spacious accommodations that actually match the photos, responsive management, safety and security, and access to unique experiences they can’t get elsewhere.

Size and Space That Airbnb Guests Love
Most luxury Airbnb properties in Costa Rica offer 1,500-2,000 square feet. Arenal Hills villas range from 2,800 to 4,800 square feet, that’s nearly double or triple the space! Plus, you get over 600 square feet of covered outdoor living areas.
What this means for your group:
- Multiple bedrooms so everyone has privacy
- Huge living areas for family game nights
- Full gourmet kitchens with top-tier appliances
- Multiple bathrooms (no more waiting in line!)
- Private outdoor spaces for morning coffee and sunset cocktails
When you factor in cost per square foot, Arenal Hills delivers incredible value compared to cramped alternatives.
The Amenities Other Airbnbs Can’t Offer
Club Cabana: Your Private Resort Playground
While other Airbnb properties might have a pool, Arenal Hills offers Club Cabana—a massive 50,000-square-foot amenity complex featuring:
- Infinity-edge pool with swim-up bar
- Kids’ pool and playground areas
- State-of-the-art fitness center
- Pickleball and tennis courts

No other vacation rental community in Costa Rica offers anything close to this level of amenities.
