What nights are like here

La Fortuna isn't a party-every-night town. On weeknights people have dinner and a drink downtown. The big night is Saturday, plus some Fridays when there's a special event. If you're only here for a few days, save your Saturday.

Magma Club, the town's club

Not a bar, a club. Live DJs all night, signature cocktails, lights and lasers, and a dance floor where locals and travelers from everywhere mix.

Saturdays
10 p.m. to 2:30 a.m.
Fridays
Special events only
Location
650 m from Central Park

The core is reggaeton and Latin music, with dancehall and old school. Some nights are house nights: Beatlab plays afro house, tech house and minimal.

Everything in one place, from early on

  2. First drinks at Voodoo, in the same building.
  3. Magma opens its doors. If you're driving, come early to get a parking spot.
  4. The dance floor peaks.
  5. Closing time. Get an Uber back to your hotel.
