Nosara

Located in the heart of the Nicoya Peninsula, Nosara is more than a beach town—it’s a lifestyle. Renowned for its dedication to wellness, nature conservation, and community, Nosara has become one of Costa Rica’s top destinations for mindful travel.

The town’s centerpiece is Playa Guiones, a stunning 7-kilometer beach with consistent waves that draw surfers from around the world. The beach is part of a protected wildlife refuge, which means no buildings are allowed directly on the sand, preserving its pristine beauty. Surf lessons, yoga retreats, and wellness centers are part of daily life here.

Nosara is also a haven for outdoor enthusiasts. You can go horseback riding along the beach, paddleboarding through mangroves, or zip-lining through the jungle canopy. Visit the Nosara Biological Reserve or the nearby Ostional Wildlife Refuge, one of the best places in the world to witness the mass nesting of olive ridley sea turtles—a truly unforgettable experience.

Evenings in Nosara are peaceful and social, with open-air restaurants offering organic dishes, live music, and an international yet down-to-earth vibe. Whether you’re seeking a surf vacation, a wellness escape, or family adventure, Nosara delivers a perfect balance between comfort and nature.
