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

"So beautiful, the property is gorgeous and offers some amazing hot springs. The service is outstanding and truly made the experience so wonderful. All the staff are knowledgeable about the nature surrounding and make a point to show you and tell you all about the amazing nature of Costa Rica. Our favorite was the service given by Graevin, he made sure our stay was special and exceptional. We adored him and were always so glad when he came to pick us up. His excitement and knowledge of the frogs made a very special for our kids. Our kids were so excited to see all the frogs so closely. We also loved Francisco! He was so kind and funny and also helped make our stay so special. We had breakfast on our own patio every morning, which helped make every morning relaxing. We will be back and plan to recommend this place to all of our friends."

"My fiancée and I visited Nayara Tented Camp for the second time, and once again, it was an absolutely incredible experience from start to finish. Everything — from the seamless check-in to the beautiful room and amazing restaurants — was exceptional. A special thank you to some truly wonderful people who made our stay so memorable: Ariel at the check-in desk, who was an absolute delight and so warm and welcoming; Joseph at Ayala Restaurant; Mary Paz at Asia Luna; and Grieven our golf cart Guy. Every one of them went above and beyond and truly made our trip unforgettable. Can’t wait to come back again!"

"One of the best high-end hotel experiences we have ever had. The location in the heart of the jungle, the large and exceptional tented rooms, the food and especially the friendly staff at the hotel made this one of our most memorable travel experiences ever. Highly recommended."

"Gosh.. this place was paradise. I’ve been around the world & visited so many top hotels but this one hits #1. I fear my standards are set to an ultimate high after staying at Nayara. The room was incredible, the staff were phenomenal, the food was delicious… everything was just perfect. I don’t know how else to describe this place other than magical. It is worth the splurge. I’m already dying to go back there! Nothing will ever top Nayara."

"Nayara Tented Resort was incredible. Our accommodations were wonderful. One of the nicest places we’ve ever stayed. We had a family of 5 adults and we all had privacy and space. The resort itself had wonderful dining and service. Staff went above and beyond to show us around and look for sloths and wildlife. Rooms were impeccably clean."
