Nayara Tented Camp will open in Costa Rica on December 20, 2019 as a member of The Leading Hotels of the World. Located on the edge of the Arenal Volcano National Park, the camp will comprise 29 tented accommodations dotted up a hillside with unobstructed views of the volcano.

As a boutique property designed in harmony with its surrounding environment, Nayara Tented Camp is a natural fit for the collection. Built to complement the flora and fauna of the rainforest and to bring the outside in, each tent will feature a private plunge pool with natural mineral hot springs sourced directly from the volcano.

What else is cool at Nayara Tented Camp?

  • In the process of creating the camp, Nayara committed to reforesting the decimated hillside that was turned into a cattle pasture over 50 years ago. Nayara enlisted the expertise of one of the world's foremost landscape architects specializing in reforestation projects. When it opens, the site of Nayara Tented Camp will once again be surrounded by plant and wildlife, only to thicken into a mature, pristine rainforest as time passes.
  • Part of the reforestation included the planting of hundreds of Guarumo trees, which are the sloth's main food source. With these trees, Nayara has created a sloth sanctuary, offering a haven to over 15 of these sedentary creatures.
  • Upon arrival to Nayara Tented Camp, every group will be introduced to their dedicated naturalist, who will accompany them on experiences throughout their stay - à la safari rangers in the African bush. These expert nature guides (Juan Pablo is a fan favorite) will bring guests on sloth sanctuary tours, early morning bird-watching walks and nighttime frog spotting tours on property.
