There is no denying that Nosara Costa Rica, in particular Playa Guiones, is a popular place for expats to stop and rest their traveling feet.
Exactly why has this beautiful area on the Northern Coast of the Nicoya Peninsula become so popular with expats?

The surf is consistent, easy to learn on, and fun and challenging for experts. World class yoga classes and teacher certifications are everywhere. Health food is plentiful and accessible, unlike many other parts of Costa Rica and Central America. International schools with excellent academic and cultural programs are available for those with children, making it a great place to raise a family. It is a safe community without a drug culture, unlike many other beach towns in Costa Rica. The beaches are some of the most beautiful in Costa Rica and easy to explore by foot, bus, or car. It has many of the luxuries from home making a transition towards living there relatively easy.
With all of that, what more could an expat ask for?
Surfing for All Levels in Nosara Costa Rica
Playa Guiones, a popular beach town in Nosara, has some of the most versatile surfing in all of Costa Rica.
Close to the beach there are rows of clean white water, which are perfect for beginners. In the town of Guiones several surf schools including Kaya Sol and Coconut Harry’s. Board rentals are everywhere for those looking to practice on their own. Slightly further out is a break for intermediate surfers where they can easily practice turns. On the outside big waves that will challenge seasoned surfers.
Another great thing about Playa Guiones is that the waves are surfable at any tide level, which means practicing and learning to turn is possible at any time of the day.
Playa Pelada, a short walk from Guiones, has a volcanic reef point break that is a great option when Guiones is too windy to surf.
The Nosara Rivermouth, about a mile north of Playa Pelada, is not at all crowded likely because it is the most challenging break in the Nosara area. The Rio Nosara empties into the ocean and the rocky break produces some of the best waves in the area. The waves are for intermediate to advanced surfers only.
For those with a car tons of nearby beaches have incredible waves for you to explore including Ostinal, with heavy hollow breaks, and Playa Marbella with hollow but softer waves.
Nosara Offers World Class Yoga
The Nosara Yoga Institute not only put Nosara on the map as a popular travel destination in Costa Rica, it put Costa Rica on the map as a popular place to practice yoga. For years the NYI has offered world-class yoga classes and teacher trainings. Sitting up on a hill in the forest, the NYI is a peaceful, intimate place to practice whether for one afternoon, during a week long retreat, or for a month long teacher training.
Following the Nosara Yoga Institute’s lead, several studios now exist, offering incredible drop-in classes and teacher trainings. The Harmony Hotel hosts a lovely space tucked in the garden across from a pond with twice daily classes taught by many of the same teachers as classes at Nosara Yoga Institute.
Blue Spirit yoga is another popular spot that offers yoga and meditation retreats and Yoga Teacher Trainings.
Unique styles of yoga difficult to find elsewhere are in Nosara including 5 Rhythms Dance, which is a type of moving meditation and aerial yoga where yogis practice their asanas while suspended.
It is not uncommon to see groups practicing yoga on the beach and you may feel inspired to get playful with some acro yoga.
Pilates courses are also available at Pilates Nosara which offers daily drop-in classes, workshops, retreats, and teacher trainings.
Nosara’s Health and Wellness Culture
In harmony with the spectacular and plentiful yoga there is a very dedicated health community in Nosara.
Playa Guiones has one of the only organic grocery stores in Costa Rica. Organico Deli-Market has organic produce daily, healthy staples like bee pollen and quinoa, a bulk spices, nuts, and dried fruit section, local cheeses and other goodies, and delicious ready made soups, salads, and sandwiches.
Every Saturday from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. is an organic Farmer’s Market selling organic meat, fruit and veggies, and homemade bread and pastries.
Naked Foods, also in Playa Guiones, has an incredible healthy juice and snack selection. Amazing juice combinations like coconut water, ginger, cayenne, cucumber and honey are bottled and available from their cooler. They sell glass jars filled with dehydrated bananas you can top with incredible cacao butter, spirulina fruit snacks, and other raw goodies. Jars of fresh spices are also for sale.
Most of the yoga studios offer body work, as does Tica Massage, further supporting your wellness transformation.
Nosara Is a Great Place to Raise a Family
With two private schools with international students, Nosara is a great place to raise your children. The schools have small class sizes, a diverse curriculum, and are taught bilingually to teach your children Spanish while continuing to cultivate their command of the English language. Because the schools are international, kids learn not only about Costa Rican culture, but about the many different cultures of the other students in their classes.
Del Mar Academy has a summer program that lasts only a couple of months for families looking to test out the area.
It is also full of fun activities for kids. Aside from playing at the beach and exploring the jungle, there are surf lessons safe for kids of all ages, yoga classes for kids, and boxing, ballet, swimming, and tumbling classes.
The many other expat families who have already chosen to call Nosara home make this community very family centered. It is easy to meet other families in Playa Guiones simply shopping at the market, eating in a café, or playing at the beach because it is such a small town.
Bringing your children closer to nature is a great reason to move in Nosara. In this small town in the jungle it is not uncommon to interact with wildlife daily. Howler monkeys, lizards, and beautiful birds are as common to see as squirrels and pigeons in North American cities.
Nosara Is Safe
When deciding to live abroad, safety is often a concern. Nosara is known to be one of the safest beach towns in all of Costa Rica. Because it is a small community, everyone looks out for one another keeping the town protected. Playa Guiones and the surrounding beach towns have a complete lack of party scene, which means no drug culture or scene. This keeps most unsavory individuals and activities away which contributes to a very low crime rate.
Expats and locals will tell you it is completely safe to walk at night all over Playa Guiones.
It Is Beautiful
Nosara spans over several beaches that have dramatic rocky cliffs, tropical palm trees, and big expansive sand shores. Walking from one beach to another you see how beautiful this area truly is.
A short drive from Playa Guiones is San Juanillo, with clear water and white sand. Beachcombing is excellent with incredible shells all over the shore and the water is clear and calm enough for some snorkeling around the nearby rocks.
Between June and December it is possible to see one of the most incredible sights in all of Costa Rica at the Ostinal Wildlife Reserve less than a half hour from Playa Guiones. Thousands of sea turtles run onto the shore to lay their eggs and in later months you can see these eggs hatch and make their pilgrimage out to sea.
It is undeniable that watching the sun set over the ocean and the sky light on fire is one the most incredible sights in the world. Overlooking the Pacific Ocean, Nosara has some of the most beautiful sunsets anywhere. So much so that watching the sunset is a daily community activity in Playa Guiones. Surfers come in from their session, families perch on the hill, travelers and expats sit in silence for an hour to watch the descent of the massive orange sun.
It Is an Easy Transition
Compared to the rest of Central America, Costa Rica can feel very North American. Compared to the rest of Costa Rica, Nosara feels particularly North American. In fact, at times Playa Guiones may feel like a small California beach town. This makes transitioning into life abroad much easier.
Restaurant workers, hotel staff, and shop clerks all speak English and many foods we are accustomed to in North America, like health food, pizza, and fusion, are all available in Nosara. High end hotels like The Harmony Hotel and other retreat centers offer many first world luxuries.
That said, it is entirely possible to have an authentically Costa Rican experience here. If you desire to, locals will speak Spanish with you. There are also Costa Rican style cafes. However, if you long for some of the comforts from home, they can certainly be found in Nosara which can make taking the leap a lot less scary.
If you’re a would-be expat who has your sights set on an island destination, then it’s likely Roatan, Honduras, has found its way onto your radar. It’s relatively inexpensive, yet offers a well-developed tourist infrastructure.
And, hey, if some of the globe’s top cruise lines have added Roatan to their list of stops, then surely there must be something there worth seeing, right?
Roatan is great, and its recent spike in popularity has certainly been warranted. But just in case you’re looking for a little less tourist traps and a little more authentic island atmosphere, let’s see how it stacks up against Boca Chica, Panama.
Viva Tropical
Round #1: Accessibility
Winner: It’s a Tie
Thanks to recent and coming improvements in both countries’ transportation options, you’ll find both of these islands incredibly easy to get to. Roatan, Honduras, is now accessible via direct flights from several major U.S. cities, such as Houston, Miami, and Atlanta.
You can basically hop on a plane and be there in as little as 2 hours. Not too shabby. This is a drastic difference from a few years ago when the only way to get to the island was via a ferry to the island or a separate domestic flight from the mainland.
Similar improvements are soon to come to fruition in Boca Chica as well. While Panama is also already accessible by way of a short international flight, Panama City has historically been the only option for arrivals.
That’s about to change when David’s Enrique Malek International Airport opens its runways to flights from the U.S. and other nations for the first time. Once you land, it’s only a 30 minute drive and a 10 minute boat ride and you’re on an island archipelago that feels more like you’re hours from civilization.
So, while Roatan is a slightly quicker trip (for now, anyway), Boca Chica stomps its Honduran counterpart in terms of access to other nearby destinations. If you need something that you can’t get on the island, you have to take a 90 minute ferry ride to the mainland.
Boca Chica’s islands require only a quick trip in a motorboat. Once on land, there are a ton of options for everything from shopping and dining to getting your boat repaired or picking up your dry cleaning. You can also explore nearby places like Boquete, Volcan Baru, and other popular tourist attractions in the Chiriqui province.
Round #2: Consumer Goods and Services
Advantage: Boca Chica
Speaking of dry cleaning and repair shops, that’s another area where Boca Chica wins out over Roatan. In Roatan you’re pretty much limited to the options available on the island. Most consumer offerings are located on the west end in places like Coxen Hole and French Harbour.
The options are decent, but the prices reflect the fact that they’ve had to be shipped over from the mainland. Plus if the island doesn’t have what you need, then back on the ferry you go.
From Boca Chica island, you can motor over to the mainland where the town of Boca Chica has enough to meet your basic needs. However, if you’re seeking something a little less common all you have to do is drive the half hour to David which is guaranteed to have what you’re looking for.
It’s so convenient that it wouldn’t be unheard of for someone to spend their day out exploring deserted islands in the archipelago, then shower, change, and head into David for a world-class steak dinner. In the city you’ll also find hardware stores, modern hospitals, government offices, and even a Mailboxes Etc.

Round #3: Investment Potential
Winner: Boca Chica By a Large Margin
The fact that you’re at least somewhat familiar with Roatan, Honduras, but may have never even so much as heard of Boca Chica, Panama, should be your first clue as to which has the greatest potential for appreciation.
Roatan is a well-developed tourist destination that’s been drawing international attention for a while. Boca Chica Island is a hidden gem. The mainland town of Boca Chica attracts a few tourists, mainly because of its popularity as a sport fishing mecca. But most of the islands of its archipelago are virtually untouched.
Roatan has a fair share of real estate that’s a little further off the beaten path as well, but its prices still reflect the level of development available on the island itself. Boca Chica, on the other hand, offers the same (if not better) gorgeous scenery and opportunities for adventure and exploration. But at rock-bottom prices.
Not to mention, that airport expansion we mentioned is about to cause the entire Chiriqui province, including Boca Chica, to explode. More and more travelers from all over the globe will begin visiting the area. Infrastructure will continue to improve. New businesses will open. And the result will be a tremendous spike in property values.
These projections are huge for investors.
Round #4: Atmosphere
Outcome: It Depends
Both Roatan and Boca Chica are great destinations with a really cool laid-back vibe. They also both have a good bit of variety if you’re willing to move around a bit. But each excels in a particular genre the other lacks.
In the more populated areas of Roatan you’ll find your typical Caribbean atmosphere. There are your usual tourist developments and hotels within walking distance of bars and restaurants that offer a vibrant night life.
Boca Chica doesn’t have that. There are good times to be had in Boca Chica, but they generally come in a more low-key format, like a relaxed happy hour spent on a restaurant patio.
By contrast, Boca Chica offers opportunities for complete solitude that would make even Robinson Crusoe drool. You can relax in a hammock on your private patio with nothing but your thoughts and a few howler monkeys to keep you company. Roatan has a few more secluded spots too, but they don’t compare.
Viva Tropical
Round #5: Tourist Infrastructure
Advantage: Roatan by a Landslide
Whereas Roatan has all the activities and tourist offerings you’d expect of any world-class vacation spot, Boca Chica’s options are drastically skewed towards one genre: aquatic adventures. It’s a great jumping-off spot for deep sea fishing, sailing, and other seafaring activities. For much more than that, you’ll need to venture to one of the other destinations in the province.
Roatan has a variety of options for dining, lodging, and other amenities. It’s a well-developed tourist hotspot. But that also has its drawbacks. Like the hordes of cruise ship passengers that crowd the beaches every few days or so.
It’s important to note though that Boca Chica’s relative lack of tourist offerings represents another great area that’s primed for growth. As the number of visitors to the area increase, there will be tremendous potential for entrepreneurs looking to profit by opening attractions like yoga retreats and sport fishing operations.
Michael McDonough
Round #6: Host Country
Advantage: Easily Panama
Outside of Roatan, there just aren’t a lot of expats flocking to Honduras. With the world’s #1 highest intentional homicide rate (82 of every 100,000 deaths), to say the country has a crime problem is a gross understatement.
Likewise its education system is fair, and its infrastructure is well below average for the region. You can’t drink the water, and many cities have inadequate wastewater treatment systems. Health care is also subpar, with only 57 physicians per 100,000 people.
Contrast this with Panama, whose infrastructure rivals that of first-world countries in some of the larger cities. It has good roads, reliable public transit, and some of the best internet and cellular access in all of Latin America.
There are a number of established expat communities where large numbers of English-speaking immigrants have more than paved the way for newcomers. There’s also Panama City, a bustling cosmopolitan city that many compare to Miami.
Panama’s schools are good. Its healthcare is great. It’s also one of the safest countries in the region, with less violent crimes in a year than New York City has in a day.
Panama’s government is pro-business, pro-investor, and extremely friendly to foreigners. Its pensionado program, with discounts as high as 50% on things like entertainment and travel, is the reason it’s often dubbed one of the best places to retire in the entire world.
Round #7: Snorkeling
Winner: Roatan
Boca Chica has a few private beaches where you can spend an afternoon snorkeling. Most notably there’s nearby Islas Secas, which is a 45 minute boat ride away, or Coiba National Park. It’s one of the largest marine parks in the world, but it’s a good 2-3 hours by boat.
In the waters surrounding Roatan there are over 100 diving and snorkeling sites, many of which are accessible directly from the beach. And since the island is so popular with cruisers, there are a number of outfits offering snorkeling excursions for tourists.
Round #8: Diving
Verdict: Boca Chica by a Nose
Roatan does have the benefit of being located near the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, which reaches down to the island from Belize. As a result, it attracts many divers and is great for beginners.
However, Boca Chica lies in close proximity to a spot that offers some of the world’s best dives, according to National Geographic. Just 27 miles south is Islas Ladrones, which is teeming with schools of jack, snapper, and barracuda. There are also smaller species like surgeonfish, parrotfish, triggerfish, angelfish, and more that can be seen year round.
You can also spot several species of shark and, at certain times of the year, giant manta rays and humpback whales. Visibility near the island is 30-80 meters.
Further away, as mentioned for snorkeling, is Isla de Coiba, where you can explore a 330,000-acre reef which contains 60 of the world’s 75+ species of hard and soft coral. In these protected waters you’ll also find mullet, stingray, puffers, moray eels, and gentle sea turtles.

Round #9: Fishing
Winner: Boca Chica Hands-Down
Due to the abundance of species represented in Boca Chica, the fishing in its waters is second to none. A large majority of its tourist accommodations are comprised of fishing lodges, and the number of world record catches that were landed in and around Boca Chica is remarkable.
Most of these were snagged near Hannibal Bank, a world-famous fishing hotspot where the ocean floor rises sharply from thousands of feet deep to a mere 120 feet. Where this cliff juts out, tremendous schools of inshore fish merge with the offshore species who feed on them. Marlin in excess of 1,000 pounds and tuna over 300 pounds have been caught in these waters, as well as snapper, amberjack, and snook.
Since the island actually started as a commercial fishing hub (until tourism began to dominate), you won’t be disappointed with the fishing in Roatan. That is, unless you’ve already experienced the fishing around Hannibal Bank in Boca Chica. That’ll definitely ruin it for you.
Viva Tropical
Round #10: Land Exploration
Verdict: Boca Chica Takes the Round
Roatan has a few areas available for exploration if you’re willing to venture over to the east side of the island and get away from the more heavily touristed areas. There are botanical gardens and nature trails, but it’s also somewhat of a controlled environment.
By contrast, the jungles and rainforest of the Boca Chica archipelago are absolutely prehistoric. There’s an abundance of old growth trees and entire islands that are completely covered in dense untouched forest. There’s also a general attitude of preservation and conservation among the local population, as well as the developers who are starting projects in the area.
Take for example Boca Chica Island, the site of our latest Adventure Colony. It’s a place where like-minded expats can own their very own unspoiled piece of nature. It’s a community with a shared vision of living in harmony with the environment, as evidenced by Monte Vida, the world’s first crowd-funded park.
Viva Tropical
Grand Champion
Just like many of the individual categories, the verdict of which island destination is the right place to establish your expat home is one that’s best left for you to decide.
If you’re looking for an established spot with amenities already in place and a thriving expat community, then check out Roatan. If you’re a more intrepid expat who wants to be one of the first on the scene, for both investment potential as well as bragging rights, then Boca Chica might be the place for you.

You may have heard about Playa Negra and assumed it was only for diehard surfers. And it is one of the premier surfing spots in Costa Rica, if not the world. But what’s more is that Hotel Playa Negra and the surrounding area offers a truly relaxing and authentic experience that’s guaranteed to delight everyone in the family.
Let’s start with the area itself.
Viva Tropical
Bona Fide Pura Vida
Many Costa Rican beach destinations are either convenient, but really touristy. Or they’re more laid-back, but completely isolated. Playa Negra is a great compromise between the two.
You can make the 1 hour and 45 minute drive from Liberia’s international airport. Another option is to take a domestic flight from San Jose (which is a 4-5 hour drive away) to Tamarindo. There are also buses, taxis, and of course rental cars that can get you to the hotel from nearby Santa Cruz.
Once you arrive you’ll find a quaint little surfing town that isn’t the least bit tawdry or touristy. It’s just simple and clean and quaint for those seeking a bona fide tropical getaway without any of the unnecessary accoutrements. It’s also only a short drive to other popular destinations like Tamarindo, which offers a bit more in the way of development and tourist infrastructure should you desire it.
Viva Tropical
World-Class Surfing Without the Crowds or Commotion
One of the most popular activities in Playa Negra is surfing. In fact, the world famous surf break, featured in the movie “Endless Summer II,” is situated directly in front of Hotel Playa Negra.
It has a rock bottom with right-hand barreling waves and a well-defined channel for easy paddling out. The water is crystal clear, and the swells are consistent year-round. The dry season of December to April provides a steady supply of cloudless skies and offshore breezes. While May through November is generally rainy, there is the occasional veranillo, or “little summer,” that offers the same near-perfect conditions coupled with a Southern Hemisphere swell.
Within walking distance are a number of other breaks, as well as some offshore reefs. You can also make the 10-minute drive to nearby Avellanas with its reef, beach, and river mouth breaks. Another half hour will find you in Tamarindo, which is considerably more crowded at popular spots like Playa Grande and Langosta.
If surfing isn’t your thing, there are plenty of other ways to enjoy the beach at Hotel Playa Negra. The shore that lies along the property is composed of a beautiful sand beach that’s dotted with rocky outcroppings and tide pools that beg for exploration. Just 100 yards south lies a white sand beach that’s perfect for swimming, boogie-boarding, or just relaxing near the water’s edge.
There’s plenty of sea life to observe, including sea turtles and parrot fish. There isn’t much development around the hotel, which makes for a pristine, private setting that easily trumps any artificially manufactured beachfront tourist development.
Viva Tropical
Privacy and Relaxation with Top Notch Amenities
The property itself consists of a sprinkling of bungalows that are nestled into a tropical garden. Each is a stand-alone hut with a roof of palm leaves, known locally as “rancho.” The many windows allow the ocean breeze to flow freely, and many boast a wooden deck complete with a sitting area and hammock.
There’s a large oceanside swimming pool, just steps from the sand. There’s also a yoga area and surf shop on-site.
Viva Tropical
The hotel’s restaurant and bar are also located right on the beach. From 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. the kitchen serves up salads, burgers, tropical fruit platters, steaks, fresh seafood, sandwiches, and traditional Costa Rican cuisine. There’s also a weekly Argentinian barbecue, which guests love.
The bar stays open much later and offers fresh fruit smoothies, cocktails, margaritas, and other frozen libations. It’s the perfect place to sit a while or even an entire day, just relaxing under the thatch roof, watching the surfers, and conversing with other travelers from all over the globe.
In the evenings, people gather on the beach to watch the spectacular sunsets.
Hotel Playa Negra is the perfect place to get away from it all and enjoy an authentic tropical beach vacation, without having to compromise any of the creature comforts you’d get at other, more well-visited locales. Whether your interests include surfing, sunning, or just soaking up your surroundings, this is a destination that promises not to disappoint you or the family.
