At Nayara Springs, each of the 16 villas comes with its own plunge pool, drawing on mineral-rich spring waters from Arenal Volcano next door. Venetian mirrors, hand-loomed rugs, and hammocks add to the easy-breezy vibe at this secluded jungle retreat, complete with a spa and yoga offered daily. Get to know your neighbors—namely howler monkeys and blue morpho butterflies—on a tour with one of the local guides. It’s just one of the experiences that your personal host can coordinate.
Room to Book:
Surrounded by tropical forest, the Springs Villa is decorated with indigenous wood and stone, with a white cotton-swathed four-poster bed, and an outdoor shower and plunge pool fed by mineral springs.
Insider Tip:
Guests can customize their itinerary using an á la carte menu of more than 100 activities—including chocolate tours, twilight safari river floats, and horseback rides to La Fortuna waterfall.
