Nosara, COsta Rica November 18-24, 2024

Along the Guanacaste Coast of Costa Rica and down an unpaved road lies the little town of Nosara. A place where people come to enjoy the gorgeous beaches and first-class surf. This pristine coastline is teeming with wildlife, as it is free of development. Long stretches of sandy beach are ideal for the morning walk to connect to nature, yourself and the all majesty this place holds. Complete with the most perfect water temperature and conditions for a swim to cleanse your soul. If you are seeking adventure, Nosara has an abundance of adventure and ecotourism activities as well.

Fly into Liberia airport (direct from many locations) where a shuttle will pick you up and take you to our LEED certified, sustainable beach home for the week. Each suite accommodates 1-3 people and features a living room, bedrooms and bathroom and is decorated with authentic crafts from Costa Rica. WIth poolside dining, spa treatments, a short walk to the beach and our own Yoga Shala nestled right in the jungle makes this the perfect location for a wellness retreat.

Enjoy the alfresco dining with views of the Ostional-Nosara Wildlife Refuge or the wave shaped pool. Delicious meals will be provided with distinctive Costa Rican and fusion dishes. All prepared with freshly harvested seasonal ingredients, including a variety of seafood caught by local fishermann. Smoothies and cocktails are available and are all made form fresh squeezed seasonal fruits. All nutritional needs can be met upon request.
