The Harmony Hotel

The Harmony Hotel nestled in the sleepy coastal town of Nosara, Costa Rica is 40 miles from the nearest paved road and where high standards of sustainable living meet the creature comforts of low key beach life. 24 rooms sit on a path which leads you down to the beach to the surf.

Inspired by the old school tropical destinations of eras that appreciated low key glamour and total escape, the Harmony Hotel is the ideal place people to get in tune with their natural rhythm. As a sustainable hotel, Harmony contributes to this idea by hiring all its staff from local community and teaching them their roles. They also support projects with local schools, turtles and monkey rescue centres.

The open air restaurant at the Harmony Hotel seats 40 guests in a stylish but casual atmosphere that draws upon 70's surf culture, Brazilian Modernism, and old school tropical resorts. Taking its cue from a harmonious way of living, the kitchen cooks up local organic seafood, fruits and vegetables. This means a menu of options flavoured by the exotic likes of wild ginger, taro, banana, plantains, mango, coconut and of course, black beans and rice.

The Harmony is a stone's throw from the best 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.
