Guanacaste, Costa Rica
Sendero
Idyllic retreat between jungle and ocean
Serene hideaway blending surf, nature and wellness
Tucked away in a lush Costa Rican nature preserve, Sendero offers a serene sanctuary where the soothing sound of waves mingles with the vibrant chorus of jungle life. With just a short sendero—Spanish for a path or trail—separating you from the shoreline, this boutique hotel is perfectly positioned in the heart of Nosara, allowing you to immerse yourself in the rich natural beauty and atmosphere of the region.
The hotel features 25 stylish rooms and 7 villas, each with muted palettes and earthy materials that echo the surrounding environment. The spacious suites feature plush, custom-made king beds and inviting living areas leading to generous private outdoor spaces where you can unwind while enjoying the gentle breeze and stunning views. Among the highlights are the signature Jungle Rooms, which overlook an expansive 11-acre nature preserve. Designed to facilitate an indoor/outdoor living experience, these rooms feature comfortable outdoor areas complete with showers and daybeds, allowing you to fully embrace the jungle surroundings. For families or groups, the Sendero Villas provide the perfect blend of privacy, style and convenience. Each villa serves as a home away from home, where cherished memories can be created against the backdrop of stunning sunsets and greenery.
Experience some of the most consistent waves in the world as you surf along the stretch of white sand beach that meets the dense jungle landscape. For those looking to refine their skills, surf lessons are available for beginners to advanced surfers, ensuring a memorable experience regardless of your level.
Indulge your taste buds at Sendero Kitchen, where the menu showcases the freshest, highest-quality ingredients sourced from the surrounding region. Wake up to the rich aroma of Costa Rican coffee or savour delectable dishes at dinner. After a day filled with adventure, unwind at the après surf bar, where you can sip delicious cocktails and enjoy street food bites while soaking in the lively atmosphere.
The state-of-the-art studio nestled among the treetops invites you to fully immerse yourself in nature as you engage in expert-led classes tailored to your needs, including invigorating cardio circuits and soothing yoga sessions.
