A joyful rainforest retreat for couples and families

Why Nayara Gardens stands apart

  • Family-friendly rainforest immersion: The resort welcomes children while preserving privacy in stand-alone casitas and villas.

  • Private pools and outdoor showers: Every featured accommodation keeps nature close.

  • Seven mineral hot-spring pools: Termas hidden in the rainforest include a swim-up bar for relaxed afternoons.

  • Wildlife and adventure: Birds, sloths, trails, yoga and Arenal excursions bring Costa Rica to life.

Who will feel at home here

Nayara Gardens is a beautiful choice for:

  • Families with children and multi-generational travelers.

  • Couples who want a livelier alternative to adult-only Nayara Springs.

  • Nature and soft-adventure travelers.

  • Guests pairing Arenal with the Pacific or Caribbean coast.

The details that shape your stay

Resort style

Gardens is more family-friendly and sociable than the neighboring adult-only Springs.

Hot springs

Seven mineral pools and a swim-up bar complement private pools in the rooms.

Accommodation

Stand-alone casitas and villas offer abundant outdoor space and indoor-outdoor showers.

Shared experiences

Dining and selected facilities across the connected Nayara resorts expand the choices, subject to current access.

Private-pool accommodations rather than a club level

There is no club lounge. The distinction lies between the expansive Arenal Pool Casita and the slightly larger, octagonal Rainforest Pool Villa, both of which currently include private pools, generous terraces and an immersive indoor-outdoor design.

Two ways to experience Nayara Gardens

These two accommodations offer distinct ways to enjoy the hotel, from its signature room experience to a more expansive private retreat.

Arenal Pool Casita

A newly refreshed stand-alone casita with a private plunge pool

Best for: A couple or small family seeking space, flexibility and garden privacy.

  • Space: Approximately 97 sq. m.

  • Welcomes: A couple or small family, with exact child occupancy confirmed

  • Bedding: King or two twin beds, plus a daybed

  • Outlook: Tropical garden and Arenal setting

  • What makes it special: An expansive deck, private pool, indoor and outdoor double rain showers and flexible bedding make this a versatile rainforest retreat.

Rainforest Pool Villa

An octagonal villa wrapped in rainforest with a private plunge pool

Best for: A couple seeking greater privacy and the villa's most immersive design.

  • Space: Approximately 105.4 sq. m.

  • Welcomes: Occupancy confirmed for the exact stay

  • Bedding: King bed

  • Outlook: Rainforest or Arenal Volcano

  • What makes it special: A wraparound terrace, hammock, pool and private outdoor shower garden draw light and greenery into every angle.

Why plan Nayara Gardens with Evyssa

The most memorable independent hotels are chosen with the traveler—not simply the destination—in mind. The right room, outlook, atmosphere and season can transform the entire stay.

With more than 20 years in travel, deep expertise across Europe and luxury destinations worldwide, and established hotel relationships, Evyssa will:

  • Match Nayara Gardens to the travelers, occasion and wider journey.

  • Compare room position, outlook, layout, privacy and connecting possibilities before recommending an accommodation.

  • Confirm the hotel's current Nayara Resorts affiliation and any qualifying eligible Coastline and Virtuoso or Virtuoso privileges for the exact stay.

  • Communicate celebrations, family needs, dietary preferences, accessibility considerations and other special requests.

  • Connect the hotel with private touring, dining, transfers, flights, rail journeys, cruises and the rest of the itinerary.

  • Support travelers before, during and after the journey.

For qualifying stays, Evyssa's preferred relationships may add thoughtful privileges such as daily breakfast for two, a hotel, dining, spa or resort credit, VIP recognition, a welcome amenity and priority consideration for an upgrade or preferred arrival and departure times. Exact privileges depend on the property, room, rate, dates, occupancy and qualifying program; availability-based amenities are confirmed whenever possible rather than guaranteed.

Let Arenal Volcano become part of the story

Share who is traveling, what you are celebrating and how you want the journey to feel. Evyssa will shape the stay around your priorities, confirm the preferred privileges attached to the exact reservation and connect the hotel with the wider itinerary from arrival to journey home.
