1. Introduction to Sendero
If surf, sand, sun, and lush tropical views teeming with wildlife sound like your ideal vacation—or remote work location—then Sendero, a new boutique hotel opening on Feb. 16 in Nosara, Costa Rica, should be at the top of your wish list.
2. Design and Accommodations
Fully embracing the Costa Rican beach town’s signature laidback vibe, popular with yogis and surf enthusiasts, the hotel marries chic contemporary design with Costa Rica’s beautiful nature. The property’s 25 rooms are a stylish and secluded retreat catering to wellness-minded travelers, located just a two-minute walk from the four-mile protected Playa Guiones.

The architecture and design borrow elements from traditional haciendas, such as exposed wood beams, arches, and ceramic tiling, utilizing local and recycled materials to maintain the property’s sustainability efforts. Nature plays a central role in Sendero’s décor; each accommodation features an outdoor shower overlooking a neighboring 11-acre preserve.
Furthermore, the hotel has partnered with deCerca, a San Jose-based art gallery, to showcase work by Costa Rican artists throughout the rooms and lobby.
