Cross a footbridge high over the jungle canopy and enter Nayara Springs, a secluded rainforest sanctuary reserved exclusively for adults. With romantic, private pool villas and an indulgent spa, this is one of the finest boutique retreats in Costa Rica.

Set on the edge of Arenal National Park with jaw-dropping views of the famous volcano.

The resort consists of just 50 villas, each with its own private plunge pool fed by natural hot springs. All villas are air-conditioned and have a four poster bed, spacious terrace, private garden with dual rain showers, an oversized bathroom, mini bar, complimentary WiFi, flat screen TV, CD/DVD player and an iPod docking station. Each villa also comes with your own personal host.

There are three superb restaurants, including Asia Luna which serves delicious Asian-Peruvian fusion cuisine, and Amor Loco which offers poolside dining during the day and candlelit gourmet dinners by night. There is also a wine and tapas bar.
