Where the jungle takes over
Esh Hotel & Spa in Nosara, Costa Rica, is a retreat shaped by contrasts: raw architecture and tropical nature, stillness and movement, fire and water. Even its name tells part of the story. “Esh” means fire in Hebrew – a symbol of transformation that runs through the hotel’s philosophy.
Surrounded by lush vegetation and not far from the Pacific coast, the hotel feels less like it was placed into the landscape and more like it has grown into it. Existing trees, water, shade and open spaces become part of an architecture designed by FAMM Arquitectura together with Sulkin Askenazi.
Rooms & Villas
Just 29 rooms, suites and villas make up Esh Hotel & Spa. Natural materials, handcrafted details and open-plan layouts blur the boundaries between indoors and outdoors. Private gardens, balconies among the treetops and private plunge pools bring the jungle even closer.
Culinary
At ALMAR, the Pacific takes centre stage. Fresh fish sourced from local fishermen and organic produce from nearby farms form the foundation of a cuisine shaped by Nosara’s Blue Zone principles and a conscious connection to nature. Each plate combines the flavours of the Pacific with farm-to-table freshness and a deep connection to the region.
Later, Ember & Ash turns its attention to fire – with mezcal, tequila and cocktails inspired by smoke and heat.
Wellness
At Vitalis Spa, everything revolves around movement, regeneration and renewed energy. Yoga, water therapies, sauna and cold plunges create space to switch off. Those who want to venture outside will find plenty to do around Nosara – from surfing at Playa Guiones and horseback riding to kayaking and experiences in nature.
This approach continues at the beach: every day, Esh Hotel & Spa creates a curated beach experience for its guests, with a dedicated beach attendant, loungers, sun protection, towels and selected equipment for relaxed hours by the Pacific. At the end of the day, everything is removed again – leaving nothing behind but your own footprints in the sand.
Location
Esh Hotel & Spa is located in Nosara on the Nicoya Peninsula, surrounded by tropical greenery and close to Playa Guiones, one of the region’s best-known surfing beaches.
Here, jungle, ocean and the laid-back rhythm of the Pacific coast come together effortlessly.
