Why Nosara

Nosara sits on Costa Rica's Nicoya Peninsula, in Guanacaste province, one of the world's five Blue Zones, where daily movement, fresh organic ingredients, and a shared sense of community are part of everyday life, shaped by the warm Pacific and the golden Costa Rican sun.
Silvestre sits steps from Playa Guiones, which stretches over five kilometres of protected coastline. From the water's edge, your only view is the Pacific and the deep, untouched jungle framing the shore. The surf is consistent year-round, drawing a global collective of entrepreneurs, industry leaders, surfers, and wellness practitioners who value privacy and a refined quality of life.
Strict environmental regulations preserve the low-density character of the area. There is no beachfront construction, building heights are limited, and wildlife corridors remain intact. Howler monkeys roam the canopy, sea turtles nest along nearby beaches, whales migrate offshore seasonally, and dolphins frequent the coastline year-round.
Beyond the beach, Nosara is one of Central America's most respected wellness destinations, with highly regarded yoga studios, movement centres, and holistic practitioners alongside exceptional dining. Adventure is equally within reach, from horseback riding along the shoreline to ATV jungle trails, ziplining, waterfall hikes, kayaking, and sport fishing.

WHY SILVESTRE

Recognised among Travel + Leisure's Top 100 World's Best Hotels, TIME's World's Greatest Places 2024, and Forbes' 12 Best Resorts in Costa Rica, Silvestre sits as close to Playa Guiones as the protected coastline allows, with direct access to five kilometres of beach and no construction between the property and the Pacific.
The property holds twenty ensuite bedrooms across nine grand residences, each beginning at 1,000 square feet, with full kitchens, Le Labo amenities, and a private garden, balcony, or terrace. It offers the sophistication of a boutique hotel with the privacy, space, and freedom of home. All amenities are reserved exclusively for guests, with full property buyouts available for those seeking complete privacy.
A rooftop terrace with infinity pool, bar, and lounge sits within the jungle canopy, hosting private dinners, celebrations, and cocktail receptions, with a projector and live musicians available for evening events. The Surf Club provides beachfront access and more than forty performance boards in every shape and size, waxed and ready, complimentary for all guests, with private lessons and video coaching on request. The studio is a fully equipped, climate-controlled space for strength training, yoga, and sound baths, with adaptive lighting and full AV for workshops, presentations, and cinema evenings.
Breakfast is served each morning on the rooftop, with a varied menu drawn from organic, locally sourced ingredients, alongside seasonal cocktails, single-origin Tarrazú coffee, and fresh smoothies. A private chef is available for in-residence or rooftop dining. Wellness extends to in-residence massage, spa treatments, acupuncture, IV infusion, and facials, with a barrel sauna, cold plunge, and outdoor rain shower in the Tropical Garden Grand Residences.
Guests are welcomed with a coconut and chilled wild orange towels, and stays of three nights or more include a stocked fridge. A dedicated team member assists with beach setup and day-to-day needs throughout the stay, and curates experiences from fishing charters and horseback riding to ATV tours, ziplining, and seasonal whale and turtle watching.
The property is sustainable by design, a gold sponsor of Costas Verdes reforestation, with Bionest wastewater treatment reused for irrigation, energy-efficient LED lighting, and climate-responsive architecture built around natural ventilation and airflow.
