Nayara Tented Camp

Whether it’s white-water rafting on the Sarapiqui River and trekking the Arenal Volcano or looking out for hummingbirds, multi-coloured frogs, and any other spectacular species that inhabit the rainforest, the staff here are knowledgeable and attentive to all your needs. And it makes sense they know what they were doing; it was one of Central America’s first luxury tented camps. And when it comes to glamping, it doesn’t get any grander than this.

Across the camp, you’ll find 21 luxury tents that are all spacious and secluded in design. Twelve of them are mirror-image tents linked together to create a two-bedroom unit. So, this is perfect for a pair of partners or a couple and up to four children. Without a doubt, though, the most amazing part of the camp is the luxurious private tents. Here, you’ll get a staggering vantage point of the volcano - a breathtaking sight to wake up to. But every tent here has a lovely laidback terrace and access to the camp’s signature plunge pool. So, enjoy the natural hot springs from high above the canopy or head out and adventure into the forest below; there’s no wrong way to spend your time here.

But whatever you choose to do, waking up to these stunning views - not to mention strolling to breakfast to a soundtrack of parrots, monkeys, and the other forest locals - is worth the price of admission alone. Simply put, it’s experiences like this you’ll never forget.
