Nayara Resorts in Costa Rica

This resort is a place for those that enjoy the relaxed, understated ethos that embodies Costa Rica’s “Pura Vida” go-with-the-flow way of life.

Nayara grounds are bursting with wildlife. You can spot sloths and monkeys on our trails, or join a bird-watching walk at dawn. After dark, you can join a frog scouting tour where you can see diminutive red-eyed tree frogs and blue-jean frogs in our ponds. Nayara resort is also a botanist and gardener’s paradise. The trails are teeming with tropical plants and exotic flowers, from heliconias and orchids to cacao and plantain trees. The Armadillo Trail showcases fruit trees on both sides of the winding path.

After the excitement of your day’s adventure, return to Nayara for a dip in your own private mineral-rich plunge pool. Read in the comfort of your hammock, or unwind on the balcony listening to the birds and crickets.

Hotel Nayara Gardens

The walking paths surround you with natural beauty and you never feel like you are in a “resort.” The sounds of the rain forest and wildlife provide a beautiful backdrop to the atmosphere of relaxation and comfort. 

Hotel Nayara Springs

A SECLUDED PLACE OF UNDERSTATED LUXURY

Nayara Springs’ grounds are rich in tropical plants, from palms and cycads to flowering trees and vines. A stroll around the gardens is a celebration of the senses. Don’t miss the many colorful heliconias and bougainvilleas, the hardy bananas flower, or the many species of philodendrons.

The Perezoso trail is an enchanting path into the forest where resident sloths can be spotted. They love to take naps and hide in the Guarumo trees.

Nayara Tented camp

As you walk slowly through the woods, you’ll appreciate that every tree gets you rooted into the magic of the rainforest and every stroll becomes an adventure.

Nayara Tented Camp raises the bar on sustainable ecotourism and is a crucial part of Nayara’s ambitious undertaking to contribute to the long-term conservation of Costa Rica’s rainforests.

As you explore the grounds, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to spot these furry and cute tree-dwelling residents. Look up! Nayara Resort has planted thousands of Cecropia trees (Guarumos), which sloths love. Listen closely for leaf rustling, and scan the treetops’ canopy. Sloths can be difficult to spot to the untrained eye, so ask any of the naturalist guides in place to help point them out.

Thank you so much Fabian, the experience was so amazing! You brought everything to life. And made the proposal to my wife a dream that came true. Thank you for going far and beyond, and the white glove treatment that you showed us. What an amazing experience, Pura Vida!

Fabian is wonderful! He took really amazing photos of our engagement and was super nice and friendly along the way. He was also really flexible and was willing to work with me on day-of timing in case of rain. Also very communicative and addresses questions quickly! Was truly a pleasure working with Fabian

Fabían did a phenomenal job of capturing our large family while on a vacation to Costa Rica. He planned the perfect location and captured our family perfectly. Would highly recommend him! He communicated well before, during and after.

I say enough great things about Fabián whom I hired for my surprise proposal. From the very beginning, he was absolutely amazing—helping me plan every detail and even pretending to be a tourist so my fiancée (now fiancée 😄) wouldn’t suspect a thing. He captured the entire moment perfectly, from the surprise on her face to the raw emotion of the “yes.” After the proposal, he guided us through poses and spots that made for stunning, natural-looking shots. He made us feel comfortable and relaxed, and the photos turned out better than we ever imagined. If you’re looking for someone who goes above and beyond to not just take pictures—but to help create a moment you’ll never forget—this is your guy. I highly, highly recommend him!

Fabian took amazing engagement photos for us at La Fortuna Waterfall! He was very kind and affordable and captured the exact vibe we wanted. He was also incredibly understanding and flexible after we rescheduled our trip 3 times due to illness/family reasons. I highly recommend!!

We had the absolute best experience working with Fabian for our wedding in Costa Rica near Arenal Volcano. And not only did he capture stunning photos of our ceremony and our guests, but he also planned and led us on an epic “wreck the dress” adventure hike to several waterfalls a couple days later — the photos are just incredible. Words can't do them justice. Fabian is a phenomenal communicator, extremely professional, and easy going. He speaks excellent English too, which made everything feel easy and seamless since we only know a little Spanish. Beyond that, he’s just a genuinely fun, kind, and hilarious person to be around. He made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera, and the entire experience felt more like hanging out with a friend than a photoshoot. We honestly can’t wait to go back to Costa Rica just to have Fabian take our family portraits someday. Our family has been talking about it already and they haven't even seen how awesome the photos are yet! Working with him was an unforgettable highlight of our wedding week. If you’re considering booking him — do it. You won’t regret it! Thank you again for everything, Fabian!! -Ryan & Gina

We were vacationing in Costa Rica and fell in love with this beautiful place. We decided we wanted to get married while we were there. I found a wedding officiant and he gave me Fabián’s name as a wedding photographer. From my first contact with Fabián, he was amazing. Sending me pictures of different locations to help me select the right place, he helped me find a florist and someone to do my hair and makeup. On our wedding day, Fabián went above and beyond. He took the most breath taking pictures and even continued to do our pictures when it started to rain. We can not thank him enough. Our pictures are amazing!
