Nayara Resort Spa & Gardens

Close to Arenal Volcano, the Nayara Resort Spa & Gardens is without a doubt one of the most stunning places in Costa Rica. Nestled in lush gardens teeming with birdlife, the secluded free-standing octagonal-shaped bungalows either have views of the volcano or the surrounding jungle. The polished wooden floors extend out to the enormous wrap-around balcony which features a private jacuzzi, a hammock and seating area.

The stylishly decorated rooms with their high dome-style shaped ceilings, have large four-poster beds, an indoor and outdoor shower, A/C, WiFi, television with free movies, tea and coffee facilities and a safe.

Together with its sister property next door – the exclusive adult-only boutique resort Nayara Springs – which is linked by a bridge, guests have the choice of dining at four different restaurants serve local and international gourmet dishes. For special occasions, you can book an intimate dining experience with your own chef. The Mi Cafecito café can teach you all about the history of coffee. There are three pools between the two resorts.
