Expert Review
Origins
In 2008, Colombian-born Leo Ghitis and his wife Ruthy fell for a modest Arenal retreat owned by architect Angelo Zaragovia. Leo bought out the other partners and, inspired by Ruthy’s design flair, launched Nayara Springs in 2013 as an adults-only luxury annex—now acclaimed globally.
Top Secret
Ask your villa host discreetly for the hidden frog-spotting path—where at night, you might glimpse rare rain forest amphibians in their natural habitat (staff-only insight).
The Review
Arriving at Nayara Springs feels like stepping into a private rainforest reverie. You're welcomed with a cool towel, a burst of tropical juice, and a slow glide by buggy through gardens alive with orchids, toucans, and soft birdsong. Your villa—tucked discreetly among the greenery—opens to reveal polished wood, soft linens, and a steamy plunge pool fed by natural thermal springs.
Mornings ease in with freshly brewed Costa Rican coffee and breakfasts of ripe papaya and warm gallo pinto. Days might take you on hanging bridges above the jungle canopy, to a deep-tissue massage in an open-air spa pavilion, or simply to the shaded hammock on your terrace with a good book and the quiet company of the rainforest.
Come evening, the Nostalgia Wine Bar offers a relaxed, self-guided tasting of Latin American wines, followed by dinner at Amor Loco—intimate, atmospheric, and rich with local flavor. And at night, beneath soft lighting and swaying palms, your private pool awaits.
Every moment here is unhurried and thoughtful. When it’s time to leave, it’s not dramatic—you’ll just quietly wish you weren’t going.
