Stuff You Should Know

Their minimalist website approach extends surprisingly to pool lounger quantity – apparently scarcity creates desire. The rooms channel a specific era of surf culture, though perhaps with more commitment than necessary.

While the restaurant embraces vegetables with evangelical fervor (carbs are apparently persona non grata), the dark wood interiors seem stuck in a permanent sunset. The price point suggests confidence bordering on audacity, but the location – a breezy two-minute walk to Nosara's most famous surf break – helps swallow that particular pill. Families welcome, assuming your offspring appreciate quinoa.

Food and drink

Food + Drink On-site surprises

Retro restaurant with healthy food

The culinary program wages a gentle war against carbohydrates, with vegetables playing lead roles in unexpected places. The juice bar steals the show, serving as both social hub and liquid lunch destination. Meanwhile, the main restaurant's moody wood interiors provide atmospheric cover for their health-forward menu (7/10) – think local ingredients with global aspirations and enough vegan options to make a carnivore question their life choices. The retro-styled bar seems caught between surf shack nostalgia and wellness resort ambitions, much like that yoga student who can't quite give up their morning espresso.
