This Iconic Guanacaste Destination Fully Commits to the Pura Vida Ethos.
The mere mention of Nosara evokes a particular scene of endless summer days, delightful surfing sessions, and laid-back evenings by the beach campfire. It's no surprise that the promise of this alluring lifestyle has brought a vibrant international community that for decades has integrated seamlessly into this dreamy Guanacaste village, and recently, even the advent of luxury properties in Nosara.
Nosara’s history as a beach destination dates back to the 1970s, when there was external interest in creating a resort community. That plan never materialized, however, and the town developed over time more in line with its growing surfer haven, attracting wave enthusiasts from all over the world to the pristine breaks of Playa Guiones and Pelada. Unlike many other coastal towns, Nosara’s uncharted appeal is maintained by restricted growth in the maritime zone, which means a permanent green buffer separates the beach from development. This careful conservation effort has kept Nosara’s beaches pristine and its environment remarkably unspoiled, exalting its essence and bringing even more interest from those who share sustainable values.
As Nosara grew in popularity, it did so on its own means, molding its growing attention and infrastructure to its core values. Nowadays, it’s a world-renowned destination for yoga and wellness, where visitors can find an array of retreat centers, vegan restaurants, and holistic services that create a tranquil haven for those seeking an all-encompassing balance.
Nosara ́s whereabouts are also chock-full of different opportunities for diverse tastes and preferences. For nature lovers, Playa Ostional offers a transcendental experience during the turtle nesting season from August to November, when thousands of sea turtles come to lay their eggs. To the south lies Playa Garza, a quieter beach with a local, grassroots feel, perfect for activities like sport fishing, paddleboarding, and snorkeling.
From luxury estates and turnkey vacation homes to undeveloped lots and low-key commercial ventures, Nosara has something for everyone. The reasons to call this beautiful corner of Costa Rica home are endless.
