Aerial view of Nayara Tented Camp nestled amidst lush green tropical forest with a prominent volcano in the background under a partly cloudy sky.

Nayara Tented Camp

Nestled amid the densely vegetated slopes of the Arenal region, the Nayara Tented Camp integrates effortlessly into the rainforest. The freestanding units sit on spacious wooden platforms and combine the transparency of fabric tents with undisturbed privacy and private thermal pools. The open design blurs the boundaries between architecture and the surrounding nature. While the view freely falls almost everywhere on the silhouette of the volcano, you navigate through a private reserve for sloths on wooden walkways. It is this quiet, unobtrusive rhythm that makes a stay in the lush greenery so special.
