The Colony at Nosara is located just minutes from Playa Guiones & Playa Pelada. However, its location also provides quick access to the beaches at Ostional and San Juanillo, two places that are not to be missed while spending time in this part of Costa Rica.


About Nosara:

Nosara is stunning jungle wildness and peaceful meditation places.

Nosara is surf, sand and sun along with mountain waterfalls and hiking trails.

Nosara is down-to-earth friendly plus upscale restaurants and neighborhoods.

Nosara is artists, yogis and healers living side-by-side with jet setters from around the globe.

Nosara has an enchanting tropical atmosphere that also offers comforts of home to whatever degree you desire.

Adventure seekers came to Nosara, twenty, thirty, forty years ago to settle in this slice of tropical heaven. The area is wrapped around several of the best beaches in the country. In 1962, an American investor began creating his vision called the “American Project.” The Americano Projecto was a 500-lot development with electric power, water systems and connecting roads. This is now the longest established American ex-pat community in Costa Rica. And that was just the beginning.

Nosara is in the Peninsula de Nicoya in the Pacific Northwest of Costa Rica. It includes the town of Nosara plus the beach areas of Playa Guiones, Playa Pelada and Playa Nosara. The first 250 yards from the coastline are protected so you won’t find high-rise chain hotels claiming these beaches. Yards of jungle brush, palm trees, green vegetation teeming with howler monkeys, iguanas and colorful birds buffer the sun-drenched beaches from civilization. The white sand invites you to laze all day (use your sunscreen). Or spend hours in the warm Pacific waters surfing, paddleboarding or just floating in bliss. And don’t miss the majestic orange-splashed sunsets that fill your senses almost every night.

Small Tico cottages and large ocean-view luxury homes share the Nosara hillsides and dirt roads. Discover the small boutique hotels, unusual shops, cozy cafes and outdoor restaurants serving creative cuisine and the freshest local catch of the day. Nosara has evolved with a unique individual blueprint that no other Costa Rican town can replicate.

Nosara’s tourist-friendly persona welcomes you to explore, play and relax amid the most vibrant tropical atmosphere you’ll encounter. Experience a thrilling zipline ride from one mountain to the next. Do your yoga practice in the Treetops Studio of the world acclaimed Nosara Yoga Institute. Surf the incredibly consistent surf break of Playa Guiones over 300 days a year. Horseback ride along low tide or nod off in a swaying hammock in the beach breezes. So many choices, not enough time.

Nosara had been under the radar for many Costa Rican travelers in the past, but with major articles in the New York Times, BBC, National Geographic Traveler and other widely read publications, the popularity of this magical destination is rising to the top of world travelers’ awareness.

You come to Nosara for the same reason that those other adventure seekers came years ago: to immerse yourself in the best tropical paradise in Costa Rica. But now you are not off the grid. You will live and revel in all the creature comforts you want as the new Nosara expands and grows into one of the smartest destinations for savvy travelers and investors.


About Ostional

Ostional Wildlife Refuge is a short drive north from Nosara. This is the setting of the largest, most magnificent “arribada” of the Olive Ridley Sea Turtles. Arribada is Spanish for “arrival” and it is just that. Thousands of female turtles come a week before the new moon to drag their heavy bodies up on the black, volcanic sand and lay their precious eggs.

The Ostional Wildlife refuge is one-mile of protected beach where the sea turtles nest over a five-day period many times a year.  The females deposit millions of eggs under the sand. About seven weeks later, baby turtles emerge and make their frantic way back to the sea. The local villagers, who take their role as “protectors of the turtles” very seriously, accompany the turtle hatchlings as they struggle to find their ocean home.

It used to be difficult to reach Osional. Only the hardy drivers with four-wheel, high trucks could make it through the river. Now a modern new bridge takes you to Ostional, making the trek delightfully easy.

Get yourself to Ostional to experience this “once in a lifetime” wonder of nature. As you stand on the beach amid hundreds of glorious sea turtles fulfilling their mass nesting instinct, or as you “protect” the babies back to their ocean destiny, you will be changed.  You will have participated in a major biological happening found nowhere else by in Ostional, Costa Rica.

 


About San Juanillo

Want to find the hidden gem of Costa Rica snorkeling? A little further north of Nosara and Ostional is the tiny, peaceful town of San Juanillo.

The most happening places in this laid back Costa Rican town are the beaches: San Juanillo beach and Venice Beach. And by happening, we mean tranquil turquoise colored waters where you can snorkel out a little ways to see the amazing underwater marine life.

You can also catch a ride on a local fisherman’s boat. They offer tours to see the Ostional turtles or the many dolphins and stingrays that frolic further out.

Take a solitary walk on this picturesque beach. Laze on the sand reading your newest favorite novel. Or spend all your time in the water, swimming eye-to-eye with colorful fish and underwater marvels.

Even though San Juanillo is off the beaten track, you can enjoy fresh ceviche, oven-baked pizzas and delicious Costa Rican foods at the local eateries.

Spend  quiet private or low-key family time in this hidden secluded paradise.
