Arrayed beneath the tropical skies of Costa Rica within the Arenal Volcano National Park, the adults-only Nayara Springs boutique hotel offers exclusive luxury. In December, the property will debut 19 new villas with private, individual plunge pools fed by natural mineral hot springs, an espresso bar, gym and a new yoga pavilion offering evening candlelight classes.

Mixologist Monica Gonalez will stir up tropical libations at Mis Amores bar, while Chef Alberto Carrilero Hervas will preside over the kitchen at Mis Amores with a Mediterranean menu of fresh local produce, seafood and meats. Specialties include black tempura calamari and stuffed tortilla with bacalao and green peppers.

Complimentary amenities in the new villas include laundry, daily yoga, high-speed internet, personal host service, a la carte or in-room breakfast, international and local calls, fitness center access and stocked minibars (excluding wine). At the award-winning spa sanctuary, rated the No. 1 spa in the world in 2016 by Conde Nast Traveler, nature plays a big role in healing therapies such as Rainforest Aromatherapy, Hot Stones with local volcanic and river stones, Costa Rican Coffee scrubs and Volcanic Mud facial masks.
