About the Resort & Nosara, Costa Rica
This beautiful yoga resort is built with nature in mind – letting nature grow all around, while enjoying all the creature comforts of a high-end resort. This resort was purposely and meticulously designed around nature, assuring that the surrounding jungle of Nosara, Costa Rica is left as close to its natural state as possible. Enjoy high-end accommodations, superb dining experience, world class yoga and pilates studios, gym, spa, juice bar, and boutique – all in a beautiful tropical setting.

Located in the beautiful province of Guanacaste in the Nicoya Peninsula of Costa Rica, the community of Nosara, known as one of the most sophisticated beach towns in Costa Rica, has a lot to offer to travelers from around the world. Its charm stems from a community that is united in the care of their beautiful town. The local citizens take pride in their pristine beaches and sustainability, while sharing a passion for the protection of hundreds of acres of sprawling forest – an experience visitors will never forget.

Nosara boasts a drive for ecotourism, sustainability, and recycling like no other town in the country. This sets the perfect example of a planned developed community. The natural beauty, way of life, and overall vibe became a dream come true for hundreds of families that chose to live a tranquil and relaxed life. Parents have the opportunity to immerse their children in a more organic way of living in nature, and showing respect and loving nature becomes one of the most important parts of life. Being woken up by howler monkeys; eating healthy, locally grown, REAL food; playing outside; enjoying wonderful bilingual private school options; and learning to respect different cultures, the children grow up with a real sense of life.

Yoga & Surfing culture is huge and a significant component of this town. You will see that people are either carrying a surf board or a yoga mat in their arms. Nosara has been called one of the world’s 20 best surf towns. With a diversity of waves in the area, it invites novice, world-class, and intermediate surfers to enjoy the magical and consistent waves year-round. There are a variety of fitness options all over town. If you are not a surfer or a yogi, you don’t have to worry! There are plenty of adventure activities around like ATV tours, Zip Lining, Horseback Riding, Stand Up Paddling, Kayak and much more.
