Nayara Resorts Highlights
Private Villa Plunge Pools Fed by Volcanic Hot Springs
Every villa at Nayara Springs features an oversized private plunge pool filled with mineral-rich thermal waters flowing directly from Arenal Volcano. Imagine soaking in your personal hot spring at midnight while howler monkeys serenade from the canopy and the volcano glows against the stars—this is luxury that no spa can replicate.
Sloth Sanctuary Meets Five-Star Service
Where else can you spot two-toed sloths during breakfast, watch toucans from your balcony, and encounter blue morpho butterflies the size of your hand—all while enjoying Relais & Châteaux cuisine? The resort's commitment to preserving rainforest habitat means wildlife isn't just nearby; it's your neighbor, creating magical moments between spa treatments and gourmet meals.
Two Resorts, One Extraordinary Experience
Choose adults-only romance at Nayara Springs or family luxury at Nayara Gardens—then enjoy the best of both worlds via private footbridge. With four restaurants ranging from casual wood-fired pizza to Amor Loco's Michelin-caliber tasting menus, plus the clifftop Nayara Tented Camp, this isn't just a resort; it's an entire luxury ecosystem.
