Nayara Tented Camp

Nayara Tented Camp is a luxurious hot spring and rainforest resort located near Arenal Volcano National Park in Costa Rica. The resort was built on a former cattle ranch, and thousands of trees and flowers were planted to restore the tropical forest around it. Now guests can walk a network of trails through it with a private guide looking for frogs, sloths, and toucans in the jungle canopy.

The camp’s style is a creative interpretation of Costa Rican chic mixed with an African safari. The 21 tents at Nayara stand on tall stilts to minimize their footprint on the landscape. Each spacious suite has an outdoor shower, hammock, and private mineral hot spring pool with stunning views of the volcano. Daily yoga classes are included your the room rate as well. It’s one of the best places in North America to slow down and unwind in nature. Arenal is also known for its adventure activities, so zip-lining, canopy tours, rafting, and hiking are on offer–if you can pull yourself away from your luxurious tent.
