PB hotel design editorial

Positioned directly in the sightline of Arenal Volcano, one of Central America's most photogenic geological formations, Nayara Springs was conceived as an adults-only counterpart to the larger Nayara Resort next door — a collection of 35 private pool villas arranged across a forested hillside in La Fortuna, Costa Rica, where the canopy is dense enough that each villa feels genuinely remote from its neighbors. The architecture disperses low-slung timber and bamboo structures through the landscape rather than imposing on it, with steeply pitched thatched rooflines and warm ochre-washed walls that carry the feeling of a Balinese hillside retreat transplanted to the Neotropical rainforest. The interiors draw heavily from Southeast Asian craft traditions — four-poster canopied beds draped in white muslin, deeply carved teak coffee tables, rattan-framed armchairs, and intricately worked circular wall mirrors in dark wood sit atop wide-plank tropical hardwood floors and hand-painted encaustic cement tiles. Outdoor terraces fitted with carved daybed loungers extend each villa directly into the surrounding plantings of heliconias and banana palms. The restaurant takes a sharply different tonal register: black-and-white striped columns, a graphic checkerboard tile floor, a veined marble bar counter, and a Sputnik chandelier alongside industrial dome pendants give the dining space a mid-century resort energy that cuts against the villa rooms' tropical romanticism — the tension between the two keeps the property from tipping into simple pastiche.

About

Nayara Springs is an exclusive adults-only resort featuring a collection of private luxury villas, immersed in Costa Rica's pristine rainforest. The 35 villas each feature an oversized plunge pool fed by mineral hot springs flowing directly from the base of the Arenal Volcano, offering guests the benefits of thermal waters in the privacy of their rooms. The spacious interiors blend eclectic and modern styles, with oversized bathrooms, sleek four-poster king-size beds, large windows bringing nature inside, and outdoor private gardens with dual rain showers. Balconies are equipped with colorful hammocks and sitting areas for in-room dining. As a Relais & Chateaux property, our restaurants offer a distinct ambiance—from a lively Mediterranean bistro to Amor Loco, a Michelin-star quality fine dining restaurant featuring exquisite tasting menus. Our world-trained chefs use local ingredients and seasonal produce to delight guests with a menu of sophisticated and delicious flavors.

"We stayed here and loved everything about it. The room was spectacular and so were the people. The breakfast was excellent. Sometimes you travel to a country and you feel resentment from staff--but I have to say there was genuine good feelings here--and not only at the hotel, but with everyone we encountered in this beautiful country. Pura Vida indeed."

"We recently stayed at Nayara Springs. From the moment we arrived the service was warm, attentive and genuinely welcoming. Steven Rojas the front desk manager-was very kind and made sure all of our needs were met We loved all of our excursions but our favorite was the hanging bridges and Celeste River walk. Alonzo was our guide for both. He really took the time to get to know us. We learned so much about Costa Rica and the wildlife. Ronnie and all the drivers were so friendly. Our villa was stunning private, spacious and beautifully designed. We loved our plunge pool. The grounds are immaculate and blend seamlessly with nature. This was our second trip and we can’t wait to start planning our third trip. Al Tolken and Mary Rahn"

"Nayara Springs is a luxurious and exotic place! The "jungle wrapped private villa" is exactly as in their photos. You have your own private hot mineral springs pool to lounge in after exploring the volcano area. La Fortuna is the nearest town with many restaurants. We ate on the property for the entire stay and relished the gourmet meals. Very romantic and restful!! The hotel staff are friendly and very accommodating. They arranged for a driver to bring us to the hotel from San Jose Airport. Our driver, Norman, was wonderful and pointed out many attractions during our drive. This is the place to stay if you want quiet and peace but have opportunities to explore as much as you want!"

"What a unique and wonderful property. The staff was beyond excellent, I only wish I could remember more names but special thanks to Tatiana at check-in, Jonathan who seemed to be everywhere and William at Amor Loco, whose whole staff brought the fun. Check-in and check-out were seamless but so was every interaction at the hotel, all of our needs were anticipated, so all we were left to do was wander around the vast grounds and immerse ourselves in the special experience that is Nayara Springs (and its associated properties). We loved eating ceviche IN the pool at the tables with umbrellas to duck away from a stray shower, spending the afternoons in the thermal springs on-site, enjoying the varied and excellent restaurants (also on-site), and spending the evenings relaxing in our warm personal pools fed by the same thermal springs. It is a very special place. Highly recommend."

"Nayara Springs was one the best hotel experiences we ever had. From the villa with its mineral hot spring pool, ample square footage, lovely furnishings and his and hers bathrooms; the varied restaurants and bars with wonderful food and drink; golf carts to ease our getting from place to place on the resort property; the integration of the resort into the surrounding rain forest environment; and most importantly, the outstanding friendliness, patience and service by every employee that we made contact with. A sincere thank you and we hope to return to this beautiful and restful place in Costa Rica."
