Tierra Magnifica, in the jungle above Playa Guiones
Tierra Magnifica is a small boutique hotel set in the jungle at Playa Guiones in Nosara, with ocean views from almost every room. It suits couples, honeymooners and small groups who want a quiet, personal place with a chef in the kitchen and the surf down the hill.
This is a place for long breakfasts looking at the ocean and dinners that come from the local market.
Why we choose it
- Ocean views from the balcony. The Vista rooms and suites each have an ocean-view balcony, so the Pacific is the first thing you see in the morning.
- A chef on the staff. The restaurant serves breakfast and dinner every day, cooked by the hotel's own chef, which means you do not need to go out every night.
- Good for a honeymoon. The Master Suite takes the whole top floor with its own entrance, which makes it a natural choice for a honeymoon or an anniversary.
Rooms and views
The Master Suite has the entire top floor, a private entrance and an ocean-view balcony. The Vista Suite, at 550 square feet, also has an ocean-view balcony, and the Vista Double Suite looks over both ocean and forest.
The Vista Room has an ocean-view balcony too. The Brisa Room has a porch that looks out to nature and the ocean, a quieter, greener choice.
On the property
The pool is the place for the afternoon. The restaurant is run by the chef on staff, serving breakfast and dinner daily from local produce and fresh fish.
The hotel also runs wellness and surf programs, so a yoga morning or a surf lesson can be arranged without leaving the hotel's care. Groups, celebrations and small weddings are something the team here enjoys hosting.
Location and getting there
Tierra Magnifica is at Playa Guiones in Nosara, on the Nicoya Peninsula, about 3 hours by road from Liberia airport. Playa Guiones is a short ride down the hill, with waves for beginners and experienced surfers alike.
We usually combine a stay here with the Arenal Volcano or Rincon de la Vieja for a trip that has both forest and beach.
