ESH Hotel Nosara Highlights
Volcanic Zen Sanctuary with Fire-Inspired Design
ESH's distinctive interiors channel the Hebrew word for "fire" through carefully curated spaces featuring volcanic stone sinks, lava-stone soaking tubs, and molten lampshades that create an atmosphere of serene elegance. The hotel's striking brutalist and wabi-sabi architecture seamlessly integrates with the surrounding jungle canopy, offering private gardens, semi-exterior double rain showers, and canopy-skimming balconies that provide intimate retreats amidst nature's symphony.
Blue Zone Wellness Immersion with Vitalis Spa
Located in one of the world's five Blue Zones where longevity thrives in harmony with nature, ESH offers transformative wellness experiences through its Vitalis Spa, daily yoga classes, and mindful movement programs designed to foster clarity and vitality. The hotel's commitment to conscious living extends to sourcing fresh seafood from local fishermen and organic produce from nearby farms, while supporting local artisans who create handwoven basket lamps as part of community empowerment initiatives.
Three-Tiered Pools and Coastal Paradise Access
ESH's three outdoor pools cascade through different levels of the jungle setting, complemented by fire pits for evening gatherings and complimentary shuttle service to both Playa Guiones and Playa Pelada beaches. The property's restaurants, Almar and Ember & Ash, serve exceptional gourmet cuisine featuring regional ingredients and craft cocktails, while the hotel's ever-burning fireplace creates a sacred space for guests to set intentions and embrace transformation.
