Ten minutes from La Fortuna, Nayara Gardens spreads through tropical planting beneath the slopes of Arenal Volcano. Freestanding casitas and Rainforest Pool Villas use local wood, high ceilings and broad terraces, with outdoor showers or secluded plunge pools set among heliconia and palms. The estate’s mineral-rich thermal pools are arranged as intimate garden pockets, complemented by an open-air spa and daily nature activities. La Terraza focuses on Latin American cooking, while Asia Luna adds an Asian-influenced menu. Stone paths, ponds and layered foliage keep the resort closely connected to the rainforest at every turn.
