Nalu Nosara

The underside of the overhanging roof represents the area's local craftsmanship.

Each villa is composed of a series of spaces, varying from two to three bedrooms, and offers different views out to the ocean. Overlapping timber roofs made from recycled teak planks and built by local craftsman provide shade from the powerful sun.

Each villa sits harmoniously within the tropical landscape, shaded by trees and vegetation.

Each villa is equipped with its own salt-water swimming pool and outdoor shower.

Large, operable glass doors and clerestory windows provide a fluid transition between the interior retreat and the exterior landscape.

The wood tones in the ceiling are reflected in wood flooring and wood furniture introduced throughout the floor plan, adding warmth and texture.

Similar to the open spaces, the sleeping quarters have operable, sliding glass doors and clerestory windows allow the tropical air to freely pass between the exterior and interior.

An outdoor shower accessed from the interior bath provides a private retreat under the sun and sky of the landscape.

Slatted roofs above connecting walkways allow dappled light to fall below while framing the view out beyond.

The yoga studio is surrounded on all sides by the jungle. Light, shadows, and wind pass through the open structure.

The tropical modernism of the resort provides the perfect backdrop for exercise and relaxation in the Costa Rican jungle.
