Surfies and yogis looking for a slice of tropical jungle with a beach on the doorstep and a chilled out vibe.
Guiones Beach, Nosara, Costa Rica.
The rooms at Harmony Hotel are simply designed, with earth tones and crisp whites reflecting the hotel’s themes of nature and beach life. All 24 rooms are spaced out on a path that meanders through a tropical garden overflowing with native vegetation, within earshot of the waves of the Pacific Ocean on Playa Guiones.
The kitchen style is Pacific Rim merged with local and Asian cuisine, including sushi. The chefs primarily use local seafood, chicken and vegan protein alternatives as well as fresh fruits and vegetables. The menu options include tropical flavours like coconut, mango and banana and herbs like fresh mint, dill and tarragon. The tiny, hidden juice bar offers fresh harvested salads, sandwiches on homemade multi grain bread, veggie juices and fruit smoothies. The healing centre offers yoga, meditation and relaxing after-surf massages.
The Harmony is a stone's throw from the best surfing break on Playa Guiones, home to the best surf in Nosara and for that matter, some of the most consistent year-round waves in the world. Surf board rentals are available.
Get up early for a sunrise surf and you’ll be able to hear howler monkeys greeting the dawn from the trees as you walk down to the beach. It’s worth setting your alarm for!
