Costa Rica is a beautiful and biodiverse country with countless breathtaking vistas. Unlike most of the country, the Nicoya Pennisula – where Siva Ashram is located – has only two seasons, which vastly differ from one another: a wet season (May-November) and a dry season (December-April).

When my wife and I discovered Nosara, we were struck by the wild beauty of the mountains, world-famous surfing, diverse wildlife, friendly people, and a diverse community that has made strong commitments to the environment.

Siva Ashram is just 8 minutes from Playa Pelada, a beautiful sheltered bay perfect for relaxing; 10 minutes from Playa Guiones, one of Costa Rica’s top surfing beaches; and 15 minutes from Playa Ostional, a black sand beach that is visited by tens of thousands of turtles every year.

Nosara feels like home to us, and we hope it does to you, too!
