LUXURY STAY Nayara Gardens 702 Road 21007 Provincia de Alajuela, La Fortuna www.nayaragardens.com reservations@nayararesorts.com US Toll Free +1 (844) 865-2002 Reservations + (506) 2479-1600 Our home base for experiencing the beauty of Arenal was the newly rebuilt Nayara Gardens, the flagship property of the Nayara Resorts collection, located in Arenal National Park. This was our first stay since the complete rebuild, and it exceeded our expectations in every way. Nayara Gardens feels more like a lush jungle village than a resort. It’s intimate and personal, and everywhere you turn, you’re surrounded by green. There’s even a boutique filled with locally made artisan goods and a brand-new family education center, where guests can learn about the rainforest, paint in plain air, or just marvel at the property’s sloth sanctuary. Yes, sloths live on the property, and yes, you can spot them on a guided nature walk! GETTING THERE To get to Costa Rica from Miami, you can fly directly to San José International Airport (SJO), which offers daily nonstop flights from Miami International Airport (MIA). The flight typically takes around 3 hours. Once you arrive in San José, Nayara Gardens is just a two-and-a-half-hour drive away. Getting to Nayara Gardens is part of the experience. The resort is a short drive from either of Costa Rica’s two main international airports: San José or Liberia. Nayara can arrange private transfers with naturalist guides who help make the journey feel like a mini expedition, pointing out wildlife and landscapes along the way.
