Nosara, Costa Rica
Casa Pura Vida
Where the day begins slow
The welcome heart of the building. A sunlit two-bedroom suite on the upper floor, opening to the canopy — the kind of place mornings happen slowly in.

Where the day begins slow.
South-facing glass collects the first hour of sun and spreads it across the floorboards. The balcony door opens with one finger, and the canopy starts immediately on the other side of the rail.
Marble warm enough to lean on.
A single slab of pale marble, polished to a low sheen. The teak cabinets behind it were milled here in Guanacaste, joints tight, no metal visible.
Two bedrooms, identical in restraint.
A teak headboard, a wide white linen bed, wooden shutters that fold all the way back. Open them at first light and the jungle hands you the day.
“Pura Vida is the suite where guests forget to make plans. That's the compliment we wait for.”
— Andrés, concierge · Nosara

A few corners of the suite.
Three picks for your stay.
Surf · 3 min walk
Playa Guiones
The home break — a three-minute walk from your door and one of the most reliable beach breaks in the country. Seven kilometres of sand means the peaks spread out, so there is almost always an empty shoulder waiting.
Restaurants · 4 min drive
Satori Sushi Nosara
The best sushi in Nosara — a small omakase-leaning room by a chef working almost entirely off the day's Pacific catch. Cuts change with the tide; the hot dishes keep everyone else at the table happy.
Adventures · 20 min walk
Playa Pelada Tide Pools & Blowhole
The rocky cove just north of Guiones, where low tide opens warm tide pools and a blowhole that fires spray straight up through volcanic rock. A twenty-minute walk, with iguanas sunning the whole way.
