PURA VIDA LIVING

Surrounded by Nature

Embrace the slow living of Playa Negra.  Find your rhythm where the jungle meets the sea by relaxing in the tide pools nestled underneath the trees.

Culinary Wealth

Rooted in one of the world's five Blue Zones, our nutrient-dense gastronomy honors the longevity and vitality found only on the Nicoya Peninsula.

Surfing Mecca

A plethora of surf breaks are just steps away from your door. No wonder, out of all the towns in Costa Rica, this one was given the name “Paraiso.”

Dining

Klima

Klima

Our daytime restaurant, KLIMA, features popular international recipes reimagined with fresh, local ingredients. Recognizing that food is a cornerstone of both wellness and the guest experience, Chef Jaak Toomsalu (Estonia) harnesses the full potential of every ingredient. By strategically pairing seasonal flavors, he maximizes both nutrition and taste, bringing the best of Guanacaste’s harvest directly to your plate.

At night, the space transforms into Klima After Dark -
a sophisticated steakhouse that embraces Guanacaste’s rich cowboy culture, paired with a curated selection of imported wines.

 

For those seeking lighter fare, our sushi bar offers a "boat-to-table" experience, featuring the catch of the day sourced directly from local fishermen.

Fitness and Wellness

Yoga Shala and Gym

Home to the only air-conditioned yoga shala in Guanacaste, Zenmar offers a sanctuary for true presence. Guests can connect with themselves and others, undisturbed by the external distractions of heat, humidity, and noise. Built with locally sourced teak wood floors and soundproof windows, the yoga shala will can serve multiple purposes: yoga, meditation, massages and private events.

A two-level fully equipped fitness space where guests can strengthen their bodies under the guidance of wellness experts. The first level of the gym has AC, while the second level is an open-air wooden deck cold-plunge and sauna garden.
