STAY: NAYARA TENTED CAMP

 Nayara Tented Camp, one of the first luxury camps in Central America inspired by the luxury canvas lodges of Africa and Asia, is in the Arenal Volcano National Park. The luxurious and 1,700 square-feet spacious tents are built at a higher altitude on the hillside to provide unobstructed views of the Arenal Volcano. 

 Multigenerational travelers and like-minded groups can opt for a set of two connecting identical tents while couples and privacy-seeking guests can book standalone units. The indoor/outdoor design of the camp blends contemporary, barefoot-luxe touches and unique-to-location design. Suites, created in traditional African safari style tents fused with a Costa Rican sense of place, feature canopy beds with a botanical headboard mural, private plunge pools fed by natural mineral hot springs, and double-head outdoor showers.

 

COVID Testing 

Nayara Resorts is collaborating with a private lab to offer on-site tests. Guests can make appointments with the Nayara team. The test will be administered to the guests and their social bubble in their room and will receive their results between 24-48 hours. The cost is $275 per person. This will be offered to guests on an ongoing basis as needed due to travel guidelines. 

 

Naya Traveler organizes private, tailor-made trips to Costa Rica starting at $700USD per person per day. Rates do not include international airfare. 

 

 

 

MARRAKESH, MOROCCO

A Palatial Hideaway

 Located between the majestic High Atlas Mountains and the Agafay mineral desert, Marrakech attracts travelers through its colors, fragrances, palaces, markets and art centers. It’s historical heritage, iconic medina and uniquely charming gardens embody the sweetness of the south. 

 

Highlights

• Jemaa el Fna is the main center of the imperial city. Every day, acrobats, storytellers, dancers, poets and musicians create a captivating setting, made mythical by its presence on UNESCO’s exclusive Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity list.
• Stroll through the narrow streets of the irresistibly charming medina. Entangled alleyways invite beauty-lovers and curious explorers to have a taste of the sensory experience that once amazed the likes of Delacroix, Majorelle and Yves Saint-Laurent.
• History & Heritage: To visit Marrakech is to retrace no less than ten centuries of history. Ben Youssef Madrasa, the Bahia Palace, Dar Si Saïd museum, Saadian tombs, Koutoubia Mosque and historic city walls tell the tale of the stormy history of the dynasties that forged the Pearl of the South’s identity over the centuries.
• Vibrant Secret Gardens: The shaded Eden of the Majorelle Garden, fantasy paradise of the Anima Garden, delicateness of the Secret Garden and privacy of the 18-hole golf green will show that the imperial city certainly does not lack in greenery.
• Art & Culture: Take in the emotions stirred by the Yves Saint-Laurent museum, debate over picture details at the Photography Museum and get a taste of the new art scene at the Al Maaden museum. The Ochre City reveals an unexpected side through its art galleries, designer shops and artist collectives.
