Olas Verdes Hotel: Eco-conscious sanctuary in the Nosara jungle
An all-suite boutique hotel nestled in the jungle of Playa Guiones. It combines exceptional bioclimatic design with a deep commitment to sustainability.
The Architecture
Olas Verdes is an eco-friendly boutique hotel located on the edge of the Playa Guiones jungle in Nosara. Its architecture integrates harmoniously into the surroundings, having preserved 90% of the property's original trees during construction. Each of the 17 suites pays homage to different regions of Costa Rica, featuring local materials and fair-trade craftsmanship.
The hotel excels in its bioclimatic approach, applying passive solar design principles such as strategic orientation, shading, and natural ventilation to maximize comfort. Its energy system leverages solar power to meet a significant portion of its needs, while the water management system includes rainwater harvesting and graywater treatment for irrigation.

With facilities adapted for both relaxation and remote work, the hotel offers a serene environment and a firm commitment to zero waste and local ecosystem conservation.
The Environment
Located in Playa Guiones, Nosara, the hotel borders the Nosara Wildlife Refuge. The setting is defined by rich biodiversity, with native gardens that attract fauna and reduce environmental impact. The beach is accessible via a private trail through the jungle.
