Nayara Gardens, which sits within Arenal Volcano National Park, actively works to support the ecological balance of its magnificent surroundings. The recent planting of 300 cecropia trees to create a sloth preserve in the rainforest canopy is just one example of the level of their commitment. Guest casitas with spectacular balcony views of the verdant jungle or imposing volcano nestle in the luxuriant gardens. Most romantic are the octagonal-shaped Rainforest Villas featuring oversized Jacuzzis and swinging hammocks on wraparound balconies.
Days are spent exploring the National Park, soaking in nearby the hot springs, or bird watching from your villa. Tucked into the trees are the open-air spa pavilions where soothing treatments, wraps and scrubs using volcanic mud, organic coffee and chocolate clay are too special to be missed.
