"Five-star safari experience amid hot springs and a resurrected rainforest Toucans and parrots flit between towering cecropias while sloths snooze in the upper branches. It’s hard to imagine this lush land was only revived relatively recently after the owner saved land neighboring his estate. Nayara Springs is sister to the two original properties set on this sprawling site, and the next-level neighboring encampment steals the show with its stand-alone cabins draped in canvas created by sustainability-minded Luxury Frontiers. As they nurture terrain and reintroduce flora and fauna in the richest of ways, Nayara is lovingly creating more of these strategically- and sensitively-perched lodges. The grandstand views of Arenal’s gently active volcano are best enjoyed from your plunge pool. —Juliet Kinsman" - Catherine Fairweather , Anna Prendergast, Juliet Kinsman
