Luxury holidays in Nosara

Lean into the laid-back lifestyle in Nosara, a cool Costa Rican surf town on the Nicoya Peninsula. Perfect your pop up on the year-round wave breaks at Playa Guiones, or if you’d rather just paddle, cherry-pick from a surplus of sandy shores. In town, hip hotspots – a skate park, organic farmer’s market, and yoga studios – will have you preaching pura vida in no time.

When to go

Come for sun-soaked stays between November and May, as days tend to be drenched by heavy rainfall come September and October.

Getting there

  • Planes

    Fly into San José’s international airport; from there, take a 45-minute flight to Nosara Airport, which is a 10-minute drive from the beach, and most hotels.
  • Automobiles

    Hire your own car (preferably a four-wheel drive) to take in more of Costa Rica’s lush landscapes – Tamarindo is a two-hour drive from Nosara; La Fortuna is a little over four hours away.
