In Nosara, it does not take long to understand why people come here. The roads are bumpy, the Pacific is warm, and Playa Guiones is one of Costa Rica’s most reliable surfing beaches.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Architecture in the Heart of the Jungle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Much of life here is pleasantly imperfect. Esh Hotel & Spa<\/a>, just a few minutes from the beach, looks as though someone has briefly decided to set the disorder aside. Twenty-nine rooms, plenty of concrete, dark wood, water and a surprising amount of greenery in between. Esh sits on a hillside in Huacas, surrounded by trees through which a natural stream winds its way. <\/strong>There is no spectacular view. So the architecture firms FAMM Arquitectura and Sulkin Askenazi came up with a different solution: rather than placing the landscape in front of the hotel, they brought it right into its heart.<\/strong> Courtyards, staircases, terraces and shaded pathways lead from one area to the next. The real view is the journey there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Minimalist Design, Natural Materials<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The rooms remain true to this idea. The architecture is minimalist, the materials robust: exposed concrete, wood and glass. These are complemented by custom-made furniture from local craftspeople, artwork by Costa Rican painter Mael Victory and textiles from Latin America. Some bathrooms open up to the outdoors, certain suites have a terrace or private garden, while the villas feature their own pool or an open-air bathtub. There are no televisions. There is Wi-Fi, though, if you really need it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Between the Pacific, Yoga and Vitalis Spa<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The day starts early at Esh<\/a>. With yoga, a plunge into cold water or a trip to the beach. Playa Guiones and Playa Pelada are both nearby, and Nosara is known for its surf and yoga scene, as well as a way of life that can be summed up rather well by \u201cPura Vida<\/strong>\u201d, as long as you do not print it on a T-shirt. At Vitalis Spa, the offerings include a sauna, ice baths, yoga, Pilates and sound baths. Dining takes place at Almar, where fish from local fishermen and produce from the surrounding area come together in a cuisine that moves between the Pacific and Mexico. Breakfast is served until 10:30 a.m., followed by lunch and dinner. Drinks are the responsibility of Ember & Ash Bar<\/strong>, whose name already hints at its source of inspiration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A Ritual with Fire<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Esh means fire in Hebrew. In the open lobby area, there is a fire pit where guests can write a personal intention on a piece of paper upon arrival and offer it to the flames. You should do it. And by the time the jungle outside begins to darken and a cicada starts its work somewhere nearby, you are rather glad someone came up with the idea of the fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pura Vida and a Conscious Approach to Nature<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Nosara is part of one of the five so-called Blue Zones, where longevity is associated with nutrition, movement and social life. Esh takes this subject seriously without turning it into a health camp. Among other initiatives, the hotel works with Costas Verdes to reforest the coastal region and the jungle; guests can also take part in planting a tree themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You come here for the Pacific, stay for the jungle and eventually realise that the greatest luxury in Nosara is not the suite with its own pool. <\/strong> It is a day when you have no reason to look at the clock.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
