Bukalá Village Lodge is five private villas tucked among gardens, a river, and an on-site farm — 10 minutes from La Fortuna, run the way a good lodge should be: personally.
For over a decade, Magdi and Eddie have poured themselves into this corner of La Fortuna. Bukalá isn't run by a property management company — it's the two of them, personally looking after every stay, from your first message to the moment you arrive.
Ask them for a tour recommendation, a dinner spot, or just directions to the best sunset view — they know this valley better than anyone.
— Magdi & Eddie
Bukalá is home to more than just our guests. Ducks paddle in the pond by the river, laying hens roam free-range through the grounds, and a small herd of goats and rabbits round out the property's covered pens.
Mornings here start slow — take a walk, say hello to the animals, and let the pace of the countryside set the tone for your day.
Bromelias, Heliconias, Hummingbird, and Amapola sit together on the same grounds — each with its own private jacuzzi, garden, and entrance, sharing a pool, gardens, and the river that runs through the property.
For groups wanting more space and complete privacy, Arenal Kabata Luxury Home sits on its own grounds in La Palmera de San Carlos, about 30 minutes away.
No call centers, no property managers you've never met — just Magdi and Eddie, looking after every stay themselves.
Gardens, a river, and a working farm — Bukalá is built around the land it sits on, not in spite of it.
Five homes with their own character, so every group — couples, families, or a full house — finds the right fit.
Check availability and book directly with us — Magdi and Eddie are just a message away if you have questions before you go.
