Rio Celeste Hideaway

Rio Celeste Hideaway Hotel

Rio Celeste is a hidden gem in Costa Rica’s northern volcanic region. Rio Celeste is located in Bijagua, about an hour from the Arenal Volcano area and 90 minutes from the Liberia airport. That’s close enough for those who prefer to be away from the seasonal crowds that fill La Fortuna and the Arenal area lodges.

Nestled within one of the untouched rainforests of Costa Rica’s central north, Rio Celeste Hideaway Hotel offers access to secluded rainforest adjacent to the Tenorio Volcano National Park. As you’d guess from its name, the hotel is near the breathtaking Rio Celeste River–the Heavenly River.

Rio Celeste has been awarded Best 25 Safari Stays Worldwide and 25 Best Small Hotels in Costa Rica.
