You can dine at the hotel's own Ayla Restaurant, which serves Mediterranean dishes with a Middle Eastern touch, and enjoy drinks at Henry's Bar or Lapas Swim-up Bar. Nearby, within a short drive, are Que Rico Arenal, Altamira Restaurant, and Surá Bar & Bistro. For a local taste, La Choza de Laurel offers traditional Costa Rican dishes, and Jalapas is about a 10-minute drive from the hotel with volcano views. The hotel also provides access to other Nayara Resorts restaurants, including Amor Loco and a wine bar.
The camp sits on the edge of Arenal Volcano National Park, surrounded by rainforest with the volcano as a backdrop. It is about ten minutes from La Fortuna town, which centers on a park with gardens and a church. Nearby within a short drive are Kalambu Hot Springs at 2.3 km and Baldi Hot Springs, plus Natura Eco Park Costa Rica and Birding & Nature Fortuna. The area is lush and green, with easy access to nature-focused activities like the Bogarin Trail at 5.5 km and Fortuna Waterfall at 7.2 km. You can also walk between the pools, restaurants, and bars of the three Nayara properties.
From Juan Santamaria International Airport (SJO), the drive to Nayara Tented Camp takes about two and a half to three hours, and from Liberia Airport (LIR) roughly three hours. The hotel offers airport transportation, which you can arrange ahead. A quicker option is a 30-minute flight from San Jose to Arenal Airport (FON), followed by a 15-minute drive to the resort. From La Fortuna town, the camp is about ten minutes away by car. There is no train station in the area, so road or air travel is the way to go.
In the evening, you can enjoy the hotel's own bar and restaurant, including Henry's Bar with its fireplace and library, and the Lapas Swim-up Bar. Nearby, Surá Bar & Bistro is a convenient option for a drink or meal. For a soak, Kalambu Hot Springs is 2.3 km away, and Baldi Hot Springs is about 0.4 miles from the hotel. The town of La Fortuna, 5.8 km away, has more dining and evening options, though you'll need a short drive or taxi to get there.
Nayara Tented Camp is a great base for exploring La Fortuna, especially if you have a car or use tours. Kalambu Hot Springs is just 2.3 km away, and Bogarin Trail is 5.5 km, both easy to reach. The town center, with Parque de La Fortuna, is 5.8 km, and the Arenal Volcano National Park entrance is 6.5 km. Fortuna Waterfall is 7.2 km, so plan a short drive or join a tour.
