Nosara, Guanacaste: Wellness, Surf & Barefoot Luxury
On Costa Rica’s Nicoya Peninsula—one of the world’s five famed Blue Zones where people live longer, healthier lives—Nosara has become an international symbol of wellness, surf culture, and barefoot sophistication. About two hours from Liberia International Airport, Nosara blends rustic natural beauty with a cosmopolitan community drawn to its holistic lifestyle and unspoiled beaches.
Known for its world-class surf, yoga retreats, and eco-conscious development, Nosara isn’t just a destination—it’s a way of life. Here, the jungle, ocean, and community spirit come together in perfect balance.
A COMMUNITY ROOTED IN WELLNESS & NATURE
Unlike many coastal towns, Nosara has carefully preserved its environment. Strict zoning keeps buildings set back from the beach, leaving Playa Guiones, Playa Pelada, and Playa Nosara in pristine condition.

- Endless waves at Playa Guiones, one of Costa Rica’s premier surf beaches
- Internationally renowned yoga schools and wellness retreats
