    This is an inspiring place that should on everyone’s must see list for Nosara. The team is dedicated, and sharing their love and appreciation for nature and animals. It’s not often you get to witness real people doing real work to preserve our planet. I want to volunteer there and do everything I can to help them in this amazing work.
    The monkeys, parrots, ducks and other animals that have ended up here are getting great care by amazing people. I’ll visit every time I’m in town.

    Incredible story of people working hard to help animals survive. Could not be happier to learn from and help support their cause by visiting

    Beautiful, extra wide beach with panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean, spectacular sunsets, warm waters, waves, and smooth sand. The charming village of Nosara is nearby, and thanks to Costa Rica’s biodiversity leadership, a green zone runs along the entire beach with no new development allowed. Many surfing and swimming options for all ages, including some calm pooled areas of water encircled by rocks. This beach is approximately 7 KMs loving and takes about 90 minutes to walk from end to end .

    We spoke with Dan about the ceviche which he sells when he isn't on the tennis court. He was out of ceviche, but advised to return the next day around 11am--and when we did he still had yet to receive delivery-truck was delayed. No worries-
    we had lunch at Olga's in Playa Pelada and returned an hour and 1/2 later--voila--ceviche!! Very tasty Dan--worth the wait!

    I can never pass up a farmers' market and this is a good one. Nice variety of stalls and fun to see all the fruits and vegetables - made me want to cook which I don't do on vacation! The coconut milk ice cream in endless flavors was amazing! Somehow stays firm and cold even in the heat.

    Can’t say enough about Pilates Nosara, Page and her team. The advanced reformer classes have become an important part of my weekly routine and transformed how I exercise. I know when I step into the studio that not only I am going to have fun and get a great workout, but that I’m also getting an expert level teacher who’s looking after my best interest.

    The service from the airport to Nosara was on time and very reliable. Our driver Greivin was the BEST and we loved him so much that we made sure he was our driver back to the airport.
    Thank you Greivin you made the ride feel like family for us!

    Ballet Beats Retreats are the most amazing getaways I can imagine. The friendships, rituals, energy and memories go on and on long after the retreat ends. No other vacation experience comes close. Thank you Kalyn!

    There are no words to explain how good Juan Carlos is. He’s truly an energy healer and clearly devoted to his craft. I have chronic pain and my muscles almost always hurt. Even days after the massage I feel an increase in flexibility and my shoulders relaxing. If I could somehow put Juan Carlos in my pocket and take him around forever I would. I recommended a friend who just got his massage with him today and he was also amazed! It’s a perfect addition to a vacation on the beach. I can’t recommend the spa enough
