What if you could find a place where world-class surfing, sea turtle nesting, and sunrise yoga sessions all happen within walking distance of your breakfast table? Welcome to Nosara, the bohemian beach town that’s become one of Costa Rica’s premier wellness destinations and part of the world’s few Blue Zones – where people live longer, healthier, and happier lives.

The Nosara Difference: More Than Just a Beach Town

Nosara isn’t your typical Costa Rican beach destination. This unique community has evolved into something special – a place where international wellness seekers, conservation-minded locals, and adventure enthusiasts have created a sustainable paradise. Located in a recognized Blue Zone, Nosara embodies the “pura vida” lifestyle that promotes longevity, community connection, and environmental harmony.

The town’s commitment to sustainability runs deep. With no streetlights, limited development, and a fierce dedication to protecting its natural resources, Nosara has maintained its authentic charm while becoming a renowned destination for yoga, surfing, and holistic wellness. It’s a place where digital detox comes naturally and stress seems to melt away with each Pacific sunset.

Convenient Access from Two International Airports

Costa Rica Green Airways makes reaching this wellness paradise easier than ever with convenient flights from both of Costa Rica’s international airports. Whether you’re arriving through San José (SJO) or Liberia (LIR), we’ll get you to Nosara quickly and comfortably.

Flying from San José offers spectacular views of volcanic peaks and lush valleys before revealing the stunning Pacific coastline. The 45-minute flight transforms what would be a challenging 4-hour drive through mountain roads into a scenic aerial tour.

Our Liberia flights provide quicker access to Nosara – just 20 minutes in the air versus a rough 3-hour drive through dusty, unpaved roads that can become challenging during rainy season. Perfect for travelers flying internationally into Liberia who want to maximize their beach time and minimize travel stress on difficult terrain.

Both routes showcase Costa Rica’s incredible diversity from above, giving you a preview of the natural wonders awaiting your exploration.

Adventures and Conservation in Paradise

Playa Guiones has earned international recognition as one of the world’s most consistent surf breaks. The reliable waves and sandy bottom make it perfect for both beginners taking their first lesson and experienced surfers seeking that perfect ride. Surfing Nosara and the Gilded Iguana Surf Camp are among the established operators offering lessons and board rentals, while the beach’s 7-kilometer stretch ensures you’ll always find your own space.

Ostional Wildlife Refuge represents one of Costa Rica’s most important conservation success stories. This protected area hosts the arribada – when thousands of olive ridley sea turtles simultaneously nest on the beach. Local communities work as official guardians, collecting eggs sustainably during the first 36 hours to protect the entire nesting cycle. Witnessing this natural phenomenon while supporting community-based conservation makes for an unforgettable and meaningful experience.

For tree-top adventures, zip-lining through dry tropical forest provides an adrenaline rush while showcasing the region’s unique ecosystem. The canopy tours here offer glimpses of howler monkeys, iguanas, and over 270 bird species native to the Guanacaste region.

Sport fishing in Nosara’s Pacific waters yields impressive catches including roosterfish, mahi-mahi, and seasonal marlin. Fishing Nosara stands as the premier sportfishing operation, offering world-class fishing adventures with experienced captains who know these Pacific waters intimately. Their commitment to catch-and-release practices and marine conservation makes every fishing trip both thrilling and environmentally responsible.

A Growing Wellness Destination

Nosara has developed into one of Costa Rica’s premier wellness destinations through world-class yoga studios and retreat centers. Blue Spirit Retreat Center attracts practitioners globally, offering teacher training programs and retreats in a stunning natural setting. Bodhi Tree Yoga Resort provides another exceptional option with its combination of accommodations and yoga instruction. Multiple studios provide daily classes for all levels, from gentle morning flows to challenging power sessions, often with ocean views and tropical bird soundtracks.

Spa treatments incorporate local ingredients like volcanic clay, tropical fruits, and indigenous healing plants. Many treatments take place in open-air pavilions where ocean breezes and natural sounds enhance the relaxation experience.

Nosara naturally encourages digital detox with limited Wi-Fi availability and a culture that prioritizes real-world connections over screen time. This makes it the perfect place to unplug, recharge, and reconnect with what matters most.

Culinary Excellence Meets Sustainability

The town’s culinary scene has evolved into something remarkable, blending international flavors with local ingredients and sustainable practices. Farm-to-table restaurants showcase the bounty of Guanacaste Province, featuring fresh seafood caught by local fishermen, organic vegetables grown in volcanic soil, and tropical fruits picked at peak ripeness.

La Luna, nestled on Nosara’s pristine shores, offers a Mediterranean-inspired dining experience where the ocean meets the table. Surrounded by lush nature and just steps from the sand, their menu blends fresh, vibrant Mediterranean flavors with local ingredients, creating dishes that are both soulful and sophisticated – perfect for sunset dinners or romantic evenings under the stars.

For a truly unique experience, Coyol is perched in the tranquil mountains of Nosara, offering exceptional dining where nature, flavor, and fire come together in perfect harmony. Specializing in premium cuts of meat crafted with open-fire cooking techniques, Coyol rewards the steep mountain climb with breathtaking ocean views and unforgettable meals that highlight bold flavors and simple elegance.

These establishments exemplify health-conscious cuisine that aligns with the Blue Zone lifestyle – emphasizing sustainably sourced proteins and traditional preparation methods that maximize both nutritional value and flavor. Local cooking classes provide hands-on experiences with traditional Costa Rican techniques, teaching visitors to prepare gallo pinto, ceviche, and other regional specialties using ingredients sourced directly from local farms and fishing boats.

Your Gateway to Transformation

Nosara represents more than a vacation destination – it’s a place where visitors often find themselves reevaluating priorities and embracing a more balanced lifestyle. The combination of natural beauty, wellness culture, and authentic community creates an environment where personal growth happens naturally.

Whether you’re seeking to improve your surf skills, deepen your yoga practice, witness incredible wildlife conservation efforts, or simply escape the pressures of modern life, Nosara provides the perfect setting for transformation and renewal.
