Essence Arenal Hotel, Spa & Bio Farm

Essence Arenal Hotel, Spa & Bio Farm is an eco-lodge and retreat venue in El Castillo, Costa Rica, overlooking the Arenal area. Its current official booking pages, exact Booking.com and Agoda inventory and current retreat-marketplace listing confirm that the hotel and linked programme remain active.

The property combines rooms, houses and glamping accommodation with a restaurant, permaculture farm, swimming pool, rainforest trails, yoga classes and a spa circuit with sauna, steam room and hot tub. The restaurant publishes vegetarian and vegan options, and guests can book accommodation separately from longer wellness packages.

The linked seven-day package combines yoga, plant-forward meals, spa access and nature activities. The operator markets this and other packages as detox or weight-loss experiences; that language is not evidence that they remove toxins or treat a health condition. Confirm current availability, inclusions, dietary suitability, practitioner credentials and cancellation terms, and seek medical advice before a restrictive programme.
