facilities & activities
The Spa at Nayara is a relaxing sanctuary. Private open-air treatment pavilions face the rainforest and come with Jacuzzis and outdoor showers. In addition to classic massages and facials, treatments include scrubs and wraps with organic coffee, volcanic mud, and chocolate clay. The spa also has a steam and sauna room, and offers hand and feet treatments, signature rituals, and combination packages.
One of the distinctive features of the hotel is an oversized infinity edge pool that merges into the forest where you can spy toucans and hummingbirds or greet the friendly macaws that call Nayara Springs home. There is also a beautiful Yoga Pavilion with wonderful views of the rainforest. Group classes are complimentary but private lessons can also be arranged.
There are many eco-tours on offer at the hotel for wildlife and bird-spotting enthusiasts.
If you are looking for something more exhilarating, there are a wide variety of soft adventure activities on offer at the hotel. Soar through the rainforest canopy on a zip-line, ride to the volcano on horseback, cross the jungle below the hanging bridges and return at the end of the day to your beautiful and comfortable Springs Villa.

dining
All of the restaurants and bars aim to spoil guests with superb gourmet meals, but Amor Loco is the gastronomic gem: a fine dining restaurant in the heart of the rainforest, complimented with stylish décor, plush velvet chairs, exotic lighting, and a polished onyx bar top.
Terrace by the Pool offers light, healthy meals. Try the delicious freshly-pressed juices and smoothies, the crisp salads or the delectable fish tacos.
Guests at Nayaya Springs are welcome to dine at Altamira Restaurant, Asia Luna and Nostalgia Wine Bar at Nayara Hotel Spa & Gardens - all a short walk away over the suspended bridge.

location
The nearest town is La Fortuna de San Carlos, close to Arenal Volcano National Park in northern Costa Rica. The drive from San Jose is fairly straightforward with good roads, by Costa Rican standards, but 4WD is recommended and it tends to take around 4 hours depending on weather. The local airport Arenal/La Fortuna is served by several domestic flights.
The property sits on a gentle slope on the fringes of the Natural Park against the backdrop of the majestic Arenal Volcano. The only entrance to the hotel is via a pedestrian bridge opening onto breathtaking views of the jungle. The bridge connects Nayara Springs to its sister property Nayara Hotel, Spa & Gardens.
