NAYARA SPRINGS

Spend time exploring the National Park, soaking in nearby hot springs or walking across Arenal's lava fields. Tucked into the trees are the open-air spa pavilions where soothing treatment wraps and scrubs using volcanic mud, organic coffee and chocolate clay are too special to be missed. Mis Amores is an all-day dining restaurant serving Latin bistro food and wood-oven specialities, while boudoir-style Amor Loco is the signature fine-dining restaurant. For laidback lunches, head to the Terrace by the Pool. Cross the bridge to try Altamira's buffet breakfasts and Costa Rican dishes or savour Asia Luna's fusion of Asian and Latin flavours.
