The take
The Take
The Vibe
Nayara Tented Camp reads like a deliberate translation of the African safari lodge for a cloud-forest setting. Luxury Frontiers’ structural ambition shows in tents raised on stilts that lift guests into the canopy and orient private pools and sightlines outward toward Arenal Volcano. The result feels elevated and quietly theatrical: visual drama from treetop vantage points, mornings that arrive with mist drifting below, and the persistent, organic soundtrack of the rainforest floor. The camp’s architecture frames intimacy and discovery rather than spectacle, so the stay feels refined, calm, and quietly immersive.
Best For
This property suits travelers seeking a nature-forward, intimate luxury stay. The small scale, 38 raised tents with canopy-level vantage points, makes it a natural fit for couples on honeymoons or romantic getaways and for couples marking anniversaries. The immersive forest setting and emphasis on elevated sightlines also appeal to wellness-minded guests who want quiet mornings, fresh air and a strong connection to place. Families and small groups who value privacy and individual tent units can also find appeal, though the tone of the camp leans toward a tranquil, intimate experience.
Stay Tips
Space is limited, there are just 38 tents, so book well in advance to secure the best dates and tent types. Private pools offer sightlines toward Arenal Volcano, so request a tent with a pool or a volcano-facing orientation if that view matters to you. Expect canopy-level vantage points and rainforest sounds; if you are seeking the clearest vistas, aim for mornings when mist tends to sit below the tents.

Hotel context
How it compares in Arenal
Nayara Gardens is the easier value comparison if the priority is staying within the Nayara orbit without paying for the tented format. Choose Nayara Tented Camp when privacy and a more retreat-like feel justify the premium; choose Gardens if the trip is more activity-led and the room is less central to the decision.
Nayara Springs is the sharper cross-shop for couples who want a quieter, more adult-focused stay. Tented Camp is better for travelers who want the visual drama of the rainforest lodging style; Springs is the safer pick if calm, romance, and a less family-oriented atmosphere are the main priorities.
The Springs Resort & Spa at Arenal and The Springs Resort and Spa at Arenal are better for guests who want a larger resort feel and a hot-springs-centered stay. Nayara Tented Camp is the more focused choice for seclusion and design-led lodging, while The Springs is the better fallback for families or travelers who want more on-property scale.
