Naya Nosara | Intimate Retreat Center near Playa Pelada, CR

Naya Nosara is an ecologically conscious hotel and retreat center located in the jungle of Playa Pelada, Nosara, Costa Rica, a short walk from the beach and the Lagarta Lodge Wildlife Sanctuary. While immersed in nature, Naya is just a short ride from the lively hub of Playa Guiones, making it ideal for retreat leaders who want the peace of the jungle without feeling isolated. The property includes six standalone guest rooms. Four rooms have king beds that can be converted into two twin beds for shared occupancy, and two rooms have queen beds, suitable for couples, facilitators, or guests requesting private rooms. Ideal retreat size is 10 guests, with a maximum on-site capacity of 12. Larger retreats can be accommodated through nearby villas on the same road, while retreat activities remain centered at Naya. Naya has extensive experience hosting retreats across a range of formats, including yoga, meditation, wellness, ceremonial work, creative workshops, and small transformational programs. Our team understands retreat logistics and works closely with facilitators to support smooth operations and clear communication. Amenities include Sattva Shala, an open-air, covered shala carved into the mountainside and surrounded by jungle, suitable for movement, meditation, and group sessions. A jungle-fringed infinity pool provides space for rest and integration. The property also features a full kitchen and outdoor dining area, well suited for catered retreats and communal meals. Naya operates with a strong environmental ethic, preserving old-growth trees and maintaining the jungle canopy that supports local wildlife. We assist retreat leaders with transportation, local guides, nature experiences, surf, wellness services, and other on-the-ground needs, allowing facilitators to focus on their retreat content while we support the setting.
