Nosara, Costa Rica
Suite Luna Nosara
A quieter kind of night
The quiet second-floor retreat. Jungle pressed against the windows, the howler monkeys settling in for the night. A quieter kind of stay, and a darker kind of night.

Jungle
A quieter kind of night.
Luna is built for the second half of the day. Warm bulbs, teak beams, and the jungle a pressed-glass darkness on every side. You'll find yourself talking softly without meaning to.
Marble, teak, low light.
A single-slab island, teak cabinetry, and a wine fridge that opens without ceremony. Cook, or don't; the room forgives either.
A king in the trees.
The master opens directly onto the garden through wide shutters. Wake to filtered green light; sleep to the low call of the howlers moving across the canopy.
“Luna is for the slow conversation. The one that goes nowhere and somewhere at the same time.”

Restaurants · 6 min drive
Nemare
Brasilito's quiet Italian, hidden behind a hedge of bougainvillea. Wood-fired pizza, hand-cut pasta, a small but considered wine list, and a chef who came down from Florence years ago and never left.
Eat Well · 6 min drive
Pots & Bowls
Tiny walk-up window doing turmeric lattes, layered açaí bowls and savory grain bowls topped with whatever is in season that week. There's no seating — take it to the beach two blocks over instead.
Nightlife · 6 min drive
Coco Loco Bonfire Nights
Friday-night beach bonfires at Coco Loco — guitar, mezcal, no shoes, and no plan at all. The bar lights its torches at sunset and the music carries until the staff start pouring water on the fire.
