9 new Relais & Châteaux members, 2 new destinations!

Relais & Châteaux is proud to present its newest members. Two new destinations have broadened our range of countries: Bulgaria and Réunion. Costa Rica has gained another property in the heart of the tropical jungle, as has Sri Lanka, which has opened unique accommodation in the Yala national park. These new hotels share a proximity to nature - bringing it right into the hotel - that provides a stunning backdrop. Are wild paradises about to become the new luxury?

 

Nayara Springs, La Fortuna de San Carlos, Costa Rica – “A paradise deep in the tropical jungle”

A romantic retreat in the heart of the tropical jungle, the villas have the Arenal Volcano and lush fauna and flora as their backdrop. Each villa has its own pool, while the carefully thought-out interior design showcases the exotic wood floors and four-poster beds draped in sheer white fabric. Naraya Springs has previously won a number of prestigious hospitality awards around the world and leads a peaceful existence among the toucans, parrots and hummingbirds.
