Location
Esh is located in Playa Guiones, a place defined by its raw beauty and deep commitment to conservation. Stretching for miles and part of one of Costa Rica’s most strongly protected environmental zones, its white-sand beaches remain untouched by construction. The result is a landscape that feels timeless—the jungle meets the ocean in perfect, unspoiled harmony, and life unfolds at a slower, more magical rhythm. Nestled deep within the Blue Zone jungle of Nicoya, the off-the-beaten-path surf town of Nosara is a place where most of Costa Rica’s magic comes to life. Around it, you will find miles of virgin beaches, waterfalls, and wildlife, including one of the world’s largest sea turtle “arrivals” every month. The hotel is connected to three NGOs that shape and support the community, including one that focuses on reforesting beaches and riversides across the country. Guests are encouraged to leave their mark by planting a tree in Costas Verdes.
Spa & Recreation
Vitalis Spa invites renewal through restorative massages, beauty rituals, and holistic therapies. It features a sauna and a cold plunge to stimulate circulation and reset the nervous system. Beyond the spa, daily classes span yoga, Pilates, breathwork, strength training, and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, with free weights and open-air space for personal practice. One can also enjoy surfing lessons, fishing charters, horseback riding, kayaking, cooking classes, mountain biking, ziplining, and more.
Food & Drink
At Almar, Pacific soul food sets a delicious tone. Here, guests embark on a culinary journey where the vibrant flavors of the Mexican Pacific are crafted with farm-to-table freshness and a commitment to sustainability. With its mezcal- and tequila-forward offerings, Ember & Ash Bar presents smoky elixirs that capture the primal essence of fire. Each drink is a journey through the subtle heat and depth of the flames, offering a reflective and distinctive tasting experience.
Conference & Meetings
The meeting areas are designed to be part of the hotel itself, not as enclosed or separate rooms. This approach reflects Esh’s intention to inspire through connection with nature, light, and the elements. Every space that can serve as a meeting area remains open to its surroundings, inviting dialogue, creativity, and reflection within the rhythm of the natural landscape.
What's more
The hotel has a boutique shop that features highly curated selection of independent and mostly Costa Rican designers; it offers clothes, accessories, jewelry, hats, and a fine selection of handbags.
