Playa Guiones & Playa Pelada: The Heart of Nosara
Playa Guiones and Playa Pelada are the two beaches at the center of Nosara — a wellness-and-surf community on the Nicoya Peninsula and one of the world’s recognized Blue Zones. Guiones is the long, world-class surf beach; Pelada, just north, is the quieter cove of tide pools and sunset bars. Strict low-density rules and a protected forest buffer keep the area green, walkable, and free of beachfront towers.
The market runs from ocean-view and jungle building lots to surf villas, custom homes, and boutique condos, with established beach-area rental homes a particular draw in one of Costa Rica’s strongest rental markets. Lots start around $150,000, homes from the mid-$500,000s into the multimillions. Whether you want a surf retreat, a wellness base, or a rental investment, KRAIN provides local representation through title and concession due diligence, S.A./S.R.L. structuring, financing, and residency.

Many people know the name “Nosara,” which is a northern coastal region in Costa Rica famous for surf, yoga, and wilderness beaches. However Nosara actually encompasses several beach towns and a town center. Those in search of the quintessential Nosara, with clean surf breaks that last all day, world class yoga studios, juice bars, and a strong expat community, should head to the beach town of Playa Guiones and nearby Playa Pelada.
The primary language in Playa Guiones is Spanish, like the rest of Costa Rica, however with such a strong North American influence the neighborhood at times feels more like Southern California than Costa Rica. Thanks to the famous Nosara Yoga Institute in Playa Guiones, this neighborhood has one of the oldest expat communities in all of Costa Rica. English is widely spoken and many Western comforts are available including a classic French bakery, all organic juice bars, a gourmet grocer, and even a mini golf course. Despite this Westernization, Playa Guiones maintains its small town charm.
