Silvestre Nosara Hotel & Residences

Silvestre Nosara is neither a conventional hotel nor a mere holiday rental: it is a high-touch retreat designed by surfers for travellers who want luxury without losing the laid-back rhythm of Guanacaste’s Pacific coast. Opened in February 2024, the property occupies a discreet free-hold lot beside Playa Guiones, famed for one of the planet’s most reliable surf breaks. Its nine 1,000-sq-ft residences couple king- and queen-sized bedrooms with full kitchens, washer-dryers and private terraces equipped with barrel saunas and ice baths. Daily breakfast appears in the fridge, a custom Jim Banks performance board is waiting in the rack, and resident coaches analyse your pop-up back at the rooftop bar after sunset sessions.

Beyond surf, guests can dip into a rooftop infinity pool sheltered by the canopy, book elite personal training in the open-air studio, or surrender to in-suite massages. A wellness calendar brings international speakers and breathwork tutors, while family-friendly programming and lightning-fast Wi-Fi mean work-ations are perfectly feasible. Silvestre’s green credentials run deeper than buzzwords: a Bionest water-treatment plant recycles every drop for irrigation, and partnerships with Costas Verdes and the local volunteer fire brigade channel funds back into the community. Professional but relaxed bilingual staff, 24-hour concierge and seamless app-based check-in (from 15:00) round off a stay that lets you move between barefoot beach life and uncompromising comfort at will.
