Just a five-minute walk from the beautiful beaches of North Guiones, striking Casa Plantara offers contemporary accommodation for four guests. Within walking distance of a range of delicious traditional restaurants and eclectic shops, you'll live the laid-back beach lifestyle with ease.

The beaches along your stretch of coast are part of the Ostional National Wildlife Refuge and are renowned for their soft golden sands and rugged beauty. Your local beach, Playa Guiones, is one of the area's most popular surfing destinations, and your dedicated concierge can book you and your guests surf lessons to master the art of riding a wave. The region of Nosara has become something of a wellness hub, with yoga studios and spas offering rejuvenating sessions for the body and mind. For a change of pace, ask your concierge to book a guided ATV trek so you can explore the lush local rainforest and spot inquisitive monkeys and colourful tropical birds.

A villa flooded with natural light thanks to sliding glass doors and majestic walls of glass, the minimalist interior design of Casa Plantara curates a blissfully serene ambience to match the bohemian vibe of surrounding Nosara. The ground floor houses a sleek wooden kitchen, perfect for rustling up fresh produce picked from the vibrant street markets. Dine at the bistro dining table or feast al fresco on the covered terrace. Find a wonderfully laid-back seating area on the lofty mezzanine - a snug nook for chats over a shared bottle of wine.

Sporting a pared-back design, the two sublimely light and airy bedrooms each offer a delightful ensuite to help wash away the sand after days spent at the beach. Each peaceful bedroom offers a cosy king-size bed, with the master suite providing access to the attractive poolside deck.

Guests benefit from a large outdoor space, allowing the relaxed atmosphere to permeate all parts of your Costa Rican experience. Next to the generously sized azure pool is a sunken seating area. The deck boasts sun loungers and leads you around to the shady, covered terrace. Learn to take things a little slower by the coast at the stylish Casa Plantara.
