Where architecture, mindfulness, and nature redefine modern luxury
Hidden within the lush jungle of Nosara, just minutes from the Pacific Ocean, ESH Hotel & Spa redefines luxury as a conscious reconnection—to self, to nature, and to what truly matters.
A Place of Transformation
“Esh,” meaning “fire” in Hebrew, symbolizes transformation and inner evolution—an idea that shapes the entire guest experience.
This adults-only boutique retreat is designed as a sanctuary where guests can pause, reflect, and realign with intention.
Architecture Between Brutalism and Nature
The architectural language blends raw minimalism with organic surroundings. Designed by FAMM Arquitectura and Sulkin Askenazi, the property reflects a dialogue between brutalist precision and wabi-sabi philosophy.
Natural textures, muted tones, and sculptural light create spaces that feel both grounding and elevated—where the jungle becomes part of the architecture.
Mindful Luxury: Wellness as a Way of Life
At the heart lies the Vitalis Spa—a sanctuary for renewal. Treatments, sauna rituals, and cold plunges are designed to restore balance and awaken the senses.
Yoga, breathwork, and mindful practices are deeply embedded in the experience, inspired by Nosara’s status as one of the world’s rare „Blue Zone“
Experiences: Between Adventure and Stillness
Curated experiences range from surfing at Playa Guiones to horseback riding, waterfall explorations, and kayaking.
This seamless blend of activity and introspection defines the essence of the stay.
Cuisine: The Soul of the Sea
At Almar and Ember & Ash, gastronomy becomes an immersive experience. Mexican Pacific influences meet fresh ingredients and a refined, intentional approach to dining.
Food here is not just nourishment—it’s a mindful ritual.
Retreat in Rhythm with Nature
The 29 suites and villas offer understated luxury, often featuring private pools, outdoor bathtubs, and jungle views.
Just a short walk away lies Playa Guiones—one of Costa Rica’s most laid-back surf beaches.
ESH Hotel is not just a destination—it is a transformative space.
A retreat for those seeking not only to travel, but to reconnect with themselves.
