The Harmony Hotel

Nosara, Costa Rica

Location
The Harmony Hotel is in the small town of Nosara, which lies on the Nicoya Peninsular in the north west of Costa Rica.

By Air:
Nosara Airstrip (6km) is served by domestic flights from San José. If you're arriving from abroad, you'll fly into San José Juan Santamaria International (250km), then will need to take a connecting flight, or Liberia (115km). Click on the links below for a list of airlines serving these airports.

From the Airport
A minivan picks up guests from the Nosara airstrip; Harmony can also arrange transfers from either San José or Liberia. See Rates for details.

By Car:
It is possible to drive from San José (6+ hours), Liberia (2-3 hours), Arenal (4-5 hours) and Tamarindo (2-3 hours) but a 4-wheel drive is recommended, particularly in the 'green' season as the rain makes some jungle tracks impassable. We've found that Holiday Autos has the best rates, with depots at both international airports.

Save to favouritesPrintMailThe Harmony HotelHarmony Hotel isn't easy to reach, but it’s well worth the effort. An eco-hotel with exemplary credentials, it sits in the jungle of Nosara - a coastal town made up of 4 beaches - and a few yards behind one of the most stunning surf beaches on the Nicoya Peninsula, Playa Guicones. It’s become the place to stay for city-dwelling surfers and grown-up Bohos who are too old - and too well-off - to stay in a grungy surf shack, but still want the feeling of a stylish, authentic hotel. With its wood and wicker furniture, palm trees, freshwater swimming pool and open air/open-plan layout, the hotel has a 1950s Hawaiian resort feel. This is not, I emphasise, a luxury hotel: there are no plasma screen TVs or iPods in the 24 [r:CO003:rooms], and service is more of the chat-at-the-breakfast-table variety than silent obedience. But if luxury means a healing centre, organic food, sunrise yoga on the beach before hitting the surf, a hotel with integrity, the sound of waves drifting you to sleep in a bed big enough to sleep 6, and a tropical paradise, then Harmony would more than qualify as a top-notch destination.
