Poás Volcano Lodge lies between the Poás and Barva Volcano at 1900m above sea level on the ridge dividing the Atlantic and Pacific zones of the country. The lodge is nestled into the rolling pastures, at the foothills of the Poás Volcano, one of the world's largest active craters. The impressive views from the lodge include not only the volcano, but also the western area of the spectacular Braulio Carillo National Park as well as the Caribbean plains.

Poás Volcano Lodge is just a few meters from the nearest protected subtropical rain forest area, through which a network of trails have been designed for visitors to explore. The lodge itself was built by an English family, as the principal residence for the surrounding dairy farm, El Cortijo. It is therefore no surprise that the unique architecture and design of the lodge carry features from English cottages, Welsh farm houses, and American ranches, as well as details from local craftsmanship. Built on different levels, the rough stone walls, wooden beamed ceilings, and dramatic arches combined with tasteful interior decoration, all contribute to the very warm and hospitable atmosphere of this family home.

The kitchen team is very pleased to offer you a unique farmhouse breakfast at Poás Volcano Lodge. We bake our own whole-wheat caraway bread almost daily and if you stay for a longer period you will enjoy the lodge’s secret granola recipe.

The lodge offers nine charming and comfortable bedrooms, including a luxurious master suite with a sunken stone bathtub. All of the rooms have private bathrooms and some can accommodate more than two persons. They are situated in groups both within and around the impressive farmhouse and have a luxury rustic flavour with stone walls, wood panelling, soft lighting and sumptious beds. They each have private access to the garden, which affords an impressive view of the volcano, and most are within a few meters of the rainforest surrounding the lodge.
