Costa Rica Is Getting Its First Luxury “Tent” Resort

By the Caribbean Journal staff

A new kind of resort is coming to Costa Rica.

Nayara Hotels is planning to open its third hotel in the country, but this time with a twist: it will consist of 24, 945-square-foot tents.

The Nayara Tented Resort’s tents will each have a master suite and en-suite bathroom, along with an adjoining tent that can serve as a lounge or second bedroom.

Each tent will sit on its own platform with a plunge pool filled from nearby hot springs.

“We loved the beautiful tented camps in Africa and Asia, and recognized that there was nothing in Costa Rica, or even Central America, as spectacular, especially nothing that was open year-round. We have access to the highest mountain in the area with 360-degree views. It is a magical setting for an ultra-luxury tented camp,” said Leo Ghitis of Nayara Hotels.

Nayara has partnered with Luxury Frontiers, known for its top-ranked tented camps in Africa, on the project.

“It is exciting to work with a company that shares similar goals and values to create an outstanding, immersive experience for guests,” said Luca Franco, Managing Partner and Founder, Luxury Frontiers. “We are thrilled to partner with Nayara on their newest luxury hotel, one in which the new lodging becomes an unforgettable experiential journey.”
