The district of Nosara is a haven for surfers and wellness enthusiasts, and they’re all raving about Sendero Nosara, a 25-room hotel that opened in early 2023. The property offers longboard lessons and yoga classes, healthy dining in open-air settings, and earth-toned rooms furnished with natural materials.
