Nosara

Nestled on the secluded Pacific coast of the Nicoya Peninsula, Nosara has become one of Costa Rica's most unique destinations for those seeking a mindful lifestyle close to nature. The town is internationally renowned for its consistent surfing conditions year-round, especially at Playa Guiones, where long, gentle waves and a wide sandy beach provide optimal conditions for both beginners and experienced surfers. At the same time, Nosara is a global hub for yoga and wellness, offering open-air jungle yogashalas, daily classes, and retreats focused on movement, meditation, and holistic health. Nature is ever-present—from mornings spent strolling along the beach at sunrise to evenings where the sunset paints the sky and sea turtles are spotted in their natural habitat. With no large hotels or mass tourism, Nosara prioritizes sustainability, understated architecture, and a strong local community. Here, pura vida is lived in its most authentic form, with a slowed pace and a deep connection between body, mind, and surroundings.
