Nayara Resorts: Latin America’s Top Luxury Hotels

Nayara Resorts continues to stand out among luxury travel collections in Latin America. From Costa Rica and Chile to the remote landscapes of Easter Island, its properties have once again been recognized by some of the world’s most respected travel publications and millions of travelers alike.

These accolades reflect what guests have experienced for years: exceptional hospitality, immersive destinations, and luxury experiences deeply connected to nature and local culture. Whether you’re planning a rainforest escape, a desert adventure, or a once-in-a-lifetime island journey, Nayara continues to set the standard for luxury travel in Latin America.

Award-Winning Luxury in Costa Rica

Leading this year’s honors is Nayara Tented Camp, which was once again named the #1 Resort in Central America by Travel + Leisure. This marks the fifth time in six years that the resort has received the publication’s highest regional distinction.

The recognition didn’t stop there. Nayara Gardens ranked #3, while Nayara Springs earned the #6 spot among Central America’s best resorts. Furthermore, both Nayara Tented Camp and Nayara Gardens were included among the World’s 100 Best Hotels, reinforcing Nayara’s reputation for delivering world-class luxury experiences.

These rankings are especially meaningful because they reflect the opinions of more than 661,000 Travel + Leisure readers who voted based on their own travel experiences.

Recognized by Critics and Travelers Alike

In addition to reader recognition, this season brought another remarkable achievement for Nayara Tented Camp.

The resort was inducted into Condé Nast Traveler’s Triple Crown, an exclusive distinction reserved for hotels that have appeared across all three of the magazine’s most prestigious awards over the past three decades.

To earn this recognition, a property must appear on the Hot List, the Gold List, and the Readers’ Choice Awards. Together, these honors demonstrate that Nayara continues to impress both experienced travel editors and hundreds of thousands of guests year after year.

Millions of Travelers Confirm the Experience

Likewise, the accolades continued with the TripAdvisor Travelers’ Choice Awards, which are based entirely on millions of verified guest reviews from travelers worldwide.

This year, Nayara Gardens was recognized as the #1 Hotel in Costa Rica and ranked #14 Best Hotel in the World. Meanwhile, Nayara Hangaroa, located on Chile’s remote Rapa Nui (Easter Island), earned the distinction of #7 Best Hotel in South America.

These honors further highlight the consistently outstanding guest experiences offered across Nayara’s portfolio, from lush tropical rainforests to one of the world’s most remote island destinations.

Seven MICHELIN Keys Across Latin America

Building on this momentum, Nayara also celebrated one of its most significant milestones with the MICHELIN Guide.

Across Costa Rica, Chile, and Panama, the collection received seven MICHELIN Keys, recognizing outstanding hospitality and exceptional hotel experiences. Notably, Nayara Springs became Costa Rica’s first and only Three MICHELIN Key hotel, setting a new benchmark for luxury hospitality in the region.

Meanwhile, both Nayara Bocas del Toro and Nayara Alto Atacama received Two MICHELIN Keys, further strengthening Nayara’s reputation as one of Latin America’s premier luxury hotel collections.

Escape to Nayara Bocas del Toro

For travelers seeking an exclusive island retreat, Nayara Bocas del Toro offers one of Latin America’s most distinctive luxury experiences. Located on a private island in Panama’s Bocas del Toro archipelago, the resort combines overwater villas, lush tropical surroundings, and personalized service in a truly secluded setting.

Furthermore, the resort has earned international recognition, including Two MICHELIN Keys and being named the #1 Resort in Central America in the Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards. Whether you’re snorkeling in crystal-clear Caribbean waters, enjoying farm-to-table dining, or simply relaxing in complete privacy, Nayara Bocas del Toro delivers an unforgettable luxury escape where nature, sustainability, and exceptional hospitality come together seamlessly.

New Experiences at Nayara Alto Atacama

Beyond its awards, Nayara Alto Atacama continues to enhance the guest experience with exciting new inclusions.

Beginning August 1, all Full Experience Programs include excursions to Puritama Hot Springs and Piedras Rojas, two of the Atacama Desert’s most iconic natural attractions. The Puritama Hot Springs offer naturally heated mineral pools tucked within a dramatic desert canyon, creating the perfect place to unwind after a day of exploration. Meanwhile, Piedras Rojas showcases vibrant red volcanic rock, turquoise lagoons, and breathtaking views of the snow-capped Andes.

Together, these new experiences allow guests to discover even more of Chile’s extraordinary desert landscapes while enjoying Nayara’s signature luxury hospitality.

Discover More of Rapa Nui at Nayara Hangaroa

Similarly, Nayara Hangaroa invites guests to experience the living culture of Rapa Nui (Easter Island) through a new collection of immersive on-site activities.

Guests can participate in traditional Rapa Nui dance classes, cooking and mixology workshops, guided stargazing inspired by ancient Polynesian navigation, and yoga and meditation sessions, all surrounded by the island’s remarkable natural beauty.

As a result, every stay becomes more than a luxury vacation, offering meaningful opportunities to connect with the traditions and culture that make Easter Island so extraordinary.

Why Travelers Continue to Choose Nayara
