Nayara Gardens Nayara Gardens

Under the shadow of the active Arenal Volcano, a tropical playground featuring soaring canopies, roaring waterfalls, and deep caves awaits - welcome to Nayara Gardens.

Arenal Volcano National Park presents a vision of nature, untamed and free to grow without human constraints. Great lengths were taken during the construction of the hotel to use local, artisanal materials that both supported the local economy, and safeguarded the delicate eco-balance of the local environment.

Despite this focus on sustainability, guests will be cocooned in luxury upon arrival at this family-friendly resort. Each of the free-standing accommodations is nestled in lush tropical gardens, with jetted tubs, complimentary WiFi and private outdoor spaces as standard.

To spend too much time in one's room would be a crime when visiting the national park, and guests at Nayara Gardens (as well as sister property Nayara Springs) are invited to take in a range of guided tours and activities. For those of an adventurous hue, sample zip-lining, water rafting, ATV rides or horseback riding. While those seeking a more placid experience can take in the local hot springs, or take a night-time forest walk or volcano walk.

After an action packed day in the great outdoors, it's only natural some recharging will be required. Nayara Gardens delivers in spades with the presence of three restaurants, a large outdoor pool and a generously-proportioned spa.
