Built on the belief that less, slowly, is more.

Noma began with a single stone house in the jungle beside Playa Guiones — and a refusal to call it a hotel.

Years on, the philosophy has not changed. Four private suites, one quiet property, and a small team who live within walking distance of the sand. We added water, light, linen — and stepped away. Guests arrive to a house that has been waiting for them, and leave with the rare feeling of having gone nowhere at all.

Pura vidaThe canopy is not scenery here — it is a neighbour. Iguanas sun on the balcony rails, howlers wake the property before we do, and the Pacific carries the afternoon breeze through the property. We built Noma to keep out of its way.

A few minutes' walk from Playa Guiones.

Noma sits at sea level in the jungle beside Playa Guiones, Nosara — a three-minute walk to the sand, forty-five minutes from Liberia International. The wider coast unfolds from here: the Ostional turtle beaches to the north, the quiet crescents of Garza and Sámara to the south. Stay close, or wander far. Our concierge plans both.
