Structured ownership in the Arenal region

Villas at Arenal Hills can participate in a managed Airbnb rental programme, with the exception of Villa Seville, which is intended for private residential ownership.

The Arenal Hills Rental Program allows homeowners to generate rental income during periods of absence while maintaining professional oversight.

Participating villas are marketed and managed centrally. Listings are distributed across established booking platforms, including Airbnb, with operational control maintained by the on-site management team.

The goal is structured management — not informal short-term letting.

How it works

Owners may choose to enroll their villa into the program during designated periods of the year. Owners maintain full title ownership at all times. Participation can be adjusted based on personal usage plans. The program is structured to support flexibility rather than obligation.

Once enrolled:

1.

The home is prepared and maintained according to community standards

2.

Professional photography and listing management are coordinated

3.

Guest communication and reservations are handled centrally

4.

On-site operations manage arrivals, departures, and housekeeping

What Arenal Hills manages

What Arenal Hills manages

For participating villas, the management team coordinates:

  • Platform listing management (including Airbnb distribution)

  • Dynamic pricing aligned with seasonal demand

  • Guest communication and booking administration

  • On-site check-in and check-out

  • Housekeeping and turnover

  • Routine maintenance oversight

  • Landscaping and community standard compliance

The objective is to ensure rental activity supports — rather than disrupts — the residential character of the community.

Who the rental program is ideal for

Participation is often suited to:

  • Seasonal residents

  • Owners splitting time between countries

  • Buyers seeking structured oversight rather than self-management

  • Owners who prioritise convenience over direct operational involvement

The program may not be ideal for buyers seeking aggressive short-term yield optimisation.

Arenal Hills remains a residential-first community.
