nosara  & playa guiones

When it comes to a list of things that will amaze you Nosara and Playa Guiones is true treasure trove. Great people, a perfect climate, a huge spectrum of wildlife biodiversity, and of course – incredible surf. After experiencing this small town deep within the Guanacaste Peninsula you’ll understand what keeps people returning to Playa Guiones and Nosara year after year. However, it matters not whether you’re a first time visitor or a returning Nosara devotee. Either way you’re in for the vacation or surf trip of a lifetime.

Although only making up 0.03% of the Earth’s surface, Costa Rica is one of the most biodiverse countries in the world. You can find nearly 5 percent of all known plants and animal species (500,000!) in its national parks and wildlife refuges.

A “Blue Zone” is a region of the world where people commonly live past the age of 100 years. The Nicoya Peninsula in Costa Rica has been named one of the five classified blue zones of the world, where residents live even longer than those in the rest of the country. The abundance of nutrient-rich fruits is a staple of the Nicoyan blue zone diet and may explain why the region’s cancer rate is the lowest in the country.

Rightly regarded as some of the Costa Rican coastlines most stunning scenery, the true magic of Playa Guiones is to be found in the people, the culture, the atmosphere, and yes – the fantastic surf! The beach itself is a ruggedly beautiful 6km stretch of white sand and is geographically situated in such a way to catch any and all incoming swell activity from the Pacific ocean. Consequently, when there’s little to no surf on any of the neighboring beaches Playa Guiones can still be offering up dreamy, long rides. Despite such quality surf, Playa Guiones has managed to largely remain off the beaten track of many surfers, which means you can still pick and choose which waves you ride with limited crowds around. It’s these waves that Surf Bikini Retreat in Nosara can’t wait to have you up and riding during your stay with us here in paradise.

The town of Nosara has also received attention from global media, with National Geographic stating, “Nosara stands out as the surf town par excellence. Warm water, friendly locals, endless beaches.”
