PB hotel design editorial
Arenal Volcano rising cloud-wreathed above the rainforest canopy of Costa Rica's La Fortuna region provides the organizing drama around which Nayara Tented Camp has arranged its thirty-five canvas-roofed pavilions — each one positioned on the hillside to hold that cone in view. The camp, which opened in 2019 as an extension of the broader Nayara resort complex, draws its formal language from the African safari lodge tradition while translating it into a Central American rainforest context, the tawny canvas tent skins and raw timber structural poles exchanging savanna dust for tropical green. Inside, the pavilions carry the atmosphere of a well-traveled naturalist's retreat rather than a glamping shorthand. Dark-stained hardwood floors run beneath four-poster beds draped in sheer white mosquito curtains, botanical-print wallpapers pressed against caramel-toned canvas walls, and tufted settees positioned at the foot of each bed. Woven rattan chair backs appear throughout — in the bedrooms and again in the open-sided restaurant, where unpeeled log columns support a slatted timber ceiling that diffuses light without closing the space off from the surrounding jungle. The infinity pool, finished in dark stone tile, curves around the forest edge at the property's upper terrace, its sight line directed squarely at Arenal's summit. Every design decision here subordinates itself to that single geographic fact.

About
Nayara Tented Camp is perched on a clifftop with the vibrant rainforest below. Built on stilts to maximize stunning vistas and leave a minimal footprint, the camp offers couples a secluded and romantic experience or a fun and educational adventure for the whole family. Inspired by African safaris but conceived in the tropical Costa Rican rainforest, the tents blend sustainable luxury with a “Pura Vida” vibe. The camp is situated on what was once a barren cattle ranch. We planted thousands of trees and plants, restoring wildlife and transforming the landscape into a thriving ecosystem. Our luxurious mineral hot spring and outdoor showers under the stars provide unforgettable experiences for those who cherish self-care. It's a perfect place to reset and recharge, far from civilization and close to nature. Great sleep is aided by the calming sounds of the rainforest. The area is home to a diverse array of birds, wildlife, and a sloth sanctuary.

Nayara Tented Camp Reviews
"My daughter and I stayed at Nayara Tented Camp for 4 nights in April 2026. During our stay we enjoyed breakfast each morning at Ayla where Lauren did an excellent job of offering suggestions on the menu. We also enjoyed talking with Brian a golf cart driver. He knew we wanted to see a sloth during our visit and went out of his way to make sure that happened for us. The staff over all is amazing and attentive and the tents are luxurious and comfortable."

"We visited Nayara Tented Camp as a family with three young kids, and our experience was nothing short of incredible. The level of attention to detail throughout our stay made it truly memorable. We had shared in advance that we were celebrating both our anniversary and my daughter’s birthday, and the team went above and beyond: sparkling grape juice was waiting for her, sparkling wine for us, and thoughtful amenities in both rooms. What impressed us most was how many staff members learned our names and preferences—from where we liked to sit to having the baby’s high chair ready—small touches that made a huge difference when traveling with young children. I especially appreciated being able to call ahead for breakfast to let them know what the kids wanted; their food would be waiting at the table by the time we arrived by golf cart, which made mornings so much smoother. I want to give a special shoutout to a few people who made our stay exceptional: Carolina Núñez meticulously coordinated countless details behind the scenes. Mayank Singh ensured we secured restaurant reservations at times that worked best for our family’s schedule and dietary needs. He also introduced us to Chef Pabi, who prepared phenomenal off-menu Indian dishes for us. This included a special meal for a fasting day tied to a religious holiday, as well as an incredible Indian vegetarian tasting menu that Mayank and Pabi created just for us. Every dish was flavorful, thoughtful, and tailored to our preferences. We also arranged transportation through the resort, which was very reasonably priced compared to other hotels and private companies—making logistics seamless and stress-free. The hospitality across the entire property was unmatched. We loved having access to multiple hot springs, and the golf cart drivers were wonderful—often going out of their way to stop so the kids could spot sloths, birds, and other wildlife. We also enjoyed the complimentary nature walk, which lasted over an hour and allowed us to explore the property with binoculars and observe even more wildlife. Overall, Nayara Tented Camp provided an unforgettable family experience filled with warmth, comfort, and personalized service. We cannot wait to return."

"We stayed at Nayara Tented Camp for four nights in April and loved the experience. The property is beautiful, the service is thoughtful, and everything runs the way you expect at this level. We booked a family tent, which is great, but the separate key card setup didn’t work as well for us with young kids. We adjusted by using a regular tent and keeping the family tent as a shared space, which actually worked out really well. The only issue was the first night with our dietary restrictions, which weren’t properly communicated by our travel agency. After that, Mayank and the team handled everything perfectly. Every restaurant was prepared, and our last dinner at Nayara Springs was a highlight. The staff was consistently attentive without being overbearing. Small things like kids’ robes and slippers showing up when housekeeping noticed our children, golf carts ready when needed, and help coordinating with even third party tour operators/drivers made a big difference to our experience. A couple minor things. One tent was situated in the midst of a cicada brood (it's nature, it is what it is), but it was all cleaned out daily. Our AC went down one night, and they fixed it and proactively comped the incidental charges to the roon without us even asking. It’s expensive, but worth it. If we did it again, we’d stay a full week. Do a few days of excursions and spend the rest just enjoying the property. Four nights wasn’t enough."

"My wife and I, with our children, ages 11, 8, and 6, recently stayed 5 days at Nayara. We have been fortunate enough to have had family vacations in Turks, Bahamas, Mexico, Cayman Islands......none were even close to our time in Costa Rica at Nayara. While ALL of the staff was beyond friendly, truly exemplifying the essence of Pura Vida, there were a few members who made our family vacation just that much more special. Starting with Aerial welcoming us, assuring every aspect of customer service was right on point. While I was impressed with the fresh haircuts of the employees, he literally invited me to go with him one morning later that week he had a haircut appointment in La Fortuna. The last day he surprised my daughter for her upcoming birthday, having the live entertainment at dinner sing Happy Birthday to her, only to go back to the room to have balloons, chocolates and a note to her. Brian, mi tocayo, was maybe one of the nicest people I've ever met. The first night after picking us up from dinner, and only 15 minutes left in his shift, he asks, "Want to see some frogs?" With his flashlight in hand and my 3 kids right behind, he took us around to spot frogs in the lush vegetation on property. Any time Brian would pick us up, he'd radio to his coworkers to take us to spot monkeys and sloths. My kids LOVED him!!! Going above and beyond is an understatement. Last, Jose at the reception bar. Upon checking-in, he served us our watermelon drinks and talked to my kids about the snakes they could see. I spoke to Jose 1:1 about where we're from, his upbringing and mine, what I do for work, our outlook on life, health, etc. Seeing, hearing and having a mutual respect for one another, even though from completely different parts of the world, was really cool. Jose was the man! My family will never remember what vacation we were on that had mudslides at the swim up bar, but will always remember the adventures and memories created at Nayara. The resort is unlike any other I've been to, but the staff, culture and experience will always be remembered as the most memorable vacation we've ever taken. Muchas gracias por toda!!

"We had the most incredible stay at Nayara Tented Camp, and a huge part of that was thanks to Christian, who made our honeymoon unforgettable. Carolina was also very attentive in ensuring we had a wonderful stay. From the moment we arrived, we received a very warm welcome from them. Christian took the time to sit down with us, walk us through everything the resort has to offer, and make sure every detail of our stay was exactly how we wanted it. We really appreciated how much effort he put into getting to know us and tailoring our itinerary to us. He asked about our wedding and our interests, and carried that throughout our stay in such thoughtful ways. For example, after learning how much we love coffee, he surprised us with bags of coffee beans in our room, which meant so much to us. The entire experience at the resort was just as amazing. It felt like camping, but in the most luxurious way. Every inch of the resort was clean, and we felt completely safe and pampered while still being immersed in the wonders of the jungle. One of our favorite parts was the wildlife and the beautiful vegetation all around us. We saw so many different species of birds and even a family of monkeys (my favorite animal) right in our backyard. Our room felt like our very own oasis; we loved being able to take a dip in our private naturally-heated pool and munch on fruit and snacks that they refilled every day. We also really appreciated the turn-down service and all the cute surprises we would come back to after dinner. The staff were incredibly kind and attentive. Everyone made it a point to congratulate us on our honeymoon, ask about our trip, and give us suggestions along the way. Everything felt very intentional and the service overall was outstanding. The food was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. We were able to try every restaurant at the resort, and each one had its own unique vibe and cuisine, which we really loved. The Bésame Mucho experience in particular was very romantic and personalized. As was the Spa couples massage, which we were very kindly gifted. Costa Rica was beautiful, and this resort made our time there even more special. We are very appreciative of Nayara Tented! Our honeymoon was truly the best and most memorable trip. We can't wait to be back in years to come 🤍"
