Nayara Tented Camp, Costa Rica 

Why: Just below the Arenal volcano in the tropical rainforest, Nayara Tented Camp (opened in December 2019) sits within a sloth sanctuary – currently 15 sloths live in the trees. Each accommodation is completely private. The sprawling luxury tents have large decks with naturally warm mineral-spring-fed plunge pools with views of the volcano. A must-do is room service breakfast of local coffee (roasted on property), fresh fruit, and eggs with beans, plantains, and rice.  

How: There are flights to San Jose and Liberia airports in Costa Rica from several US cities including New York, Fort Lauderdale/Miami, Dallas, Atlanta, and Houston.
