An Ecological Hotel & Retreat Venue in Nosara, Costa Rica

Direct Booking

Naya Nosara is designed as a small village rather than a single big house. Six stand-alone units are spread through gardens and old-growth trees, connected by paths and open common spaces.

Host Your Retreat

You bring the vision. We support the whole journey.

Groups

Bring your family, friends or team — six private casitas around one pool, kitchen and shala, staffed 24/7, 200 m from the beach. One booking, the whole village to yourselves.

King Rooms

Each King Room opens onto its own veranda, framed by jungle on every side. Handmade Costa Rican furniture, a proper desk, cotton bedding, and a king bed dressed for rest. Quiet, private, and entirely yours.

Queen Rooms

Closer to the pool and the hum of the open kitchen, our Queen Rooms look out over the jungle canopy. The same handmade furniture and quiet privacy as every casita at Naya, with a queen bed at its heart.

Nosara & Beyond

In one of the world's five Blue Zones. Here is what surrounds you.

Playa Pelada

A 5-minute jungle walk — the beach at Naya's doorstep.

Playa Guiones

Nosara's surf hub, about 15 minutes away.

Nosara Yoga Institute

A world-renowned yoga teacher-training center, founded in 1994.

Ostional Wildlife Refuge

One of the world's great sea turtle nesting sites — mass arribadas most months.

Café de Paris

A longtime Nosara landmark for coffee and pastry, near Playa Guiones.

Río Montaña

A jungle waterfall and swimming hole, a short drive inland.

“This place is heaven on earth. It was by far our favorite accommodation in Costa Rica, beautiful property, pool area, villa is amazing…We will 100% be back. Sunset at the beach is beautiful.”

— Anne, Halifax, Canada

Eco-Conscious

Our rooms are built from responsibly sourced materials, and recycled water keeps our gardens green. We strive to weave nature seamlessly into the fabric of our hotel, creating a haven that resonates with our respect for the environment.

Perfectly Located

Naya is situated within one of the world’s 5 Blue Zones, known for the longevity and well-being of its inhabitants. We are in the jungle of Playa Pelada with direct beach access. In the heart of Nosara, amidst the dynamic surfing and wellness community, Naya is a serene refuge.

Family-Run

We provide a genuine experience that mirrors our own lives and principles. We run Naya as a small hotel and retreat center, and our family has been in the area for close to three decades, cultivating deep connections to the land and within the local Costa Rican community.

“Such a dreamy place to stay. My partner and I wished we had stayed longer when it was time to leave. The staff are so kind and helpful, and the place is beautiful. The pool is unreal and you can see so much local wildlife. We definitely plan to return at some point in the future!”

— Dorsa, Toronto, Canada

“A true hidden gem. Seven minutes from the beach, immersed in the jungle, eco-boutique style, and a host and staff that genuinely make you feel at home. My body and soul needed to unwind, and this place delivered completely. If you're craving nature and stillness, this is it. Highly recommended.”

— Marina, Reno, Nevada

The experience we offer at Naya comes from the material and values of our own lives — immersion in nature, respect for the environment, creativity, self-work and simplicity. You are warmly invited to experience this extraordinary place and the energy it holds — to step lightly with deep presence.
