Can you imagine sleeping inside an ogre’s tree… but with all the comforts of modern, elegant accommodations? At El Paraíso del Ogro, that fantasy becomes a reality. This unique themed house, built inside a giant tree, combines the magic of fairy tales with the comfort of a carefully designed space.
The house features:
• Two bedrooms with king-size beds and air conditioning for a cool and pleasant night’s sleep.
• A very spacious living room with a double sofa bed, ideal for watching movies or sleeping comfortably, and air-conditioned just like the kitchen.
• An open-concept, fully equipped kitchen with an unbeatable panoramic view of Arenal Volcano and the pool.
• Two full bathrooms, each with partially open-air showers, offering a direct connection to the natural surroundings without sacrificing privacy.
• Additionally, an outdoor bathroom and shower—perfect for after a dip.
Outside, a lush 6x3-meter pool awaits you, built with volcanic stones that not only give it a unique look but also provide health benefits thanks to their minerals. These stones retain the sun’s heat, making the water feel naturally warm. The pool features a rock-shaped waterfall that adds a stunning and relaxing touch.
And as if that weren’t enough, you can relax in a whirlpool tub, perfect for ending the day with some snacks or a glass of wine under the starry sky. You’ll also find a terrace with a BBQ area, perfect for sharing a barbecue with family or friends while enjoying the sights and sounds of nature.
As part of your stay, we include free tours:
• Guided horseback rides around the ranch.
• Spotting sloths, birds, frogs, and other native species.
• Interaction with farm animals such as goats, buffalo, and more.
El Paraíso del Ogro is ideal for couples, families, or travelers seeking a unique, authentic experience with a touch of magic. Here, fantasy, relaxation, and adventure coexist in perfect harmony.
