🏄 PLACE: SILVESTRE NOSARA
The perfect zen and surf spot.
By Iona Paulet
In the jungle, just steps away from the best surf break in Nosara, Costa Rica, are nine grand residences that seamlessly blend the luxury and sophistication of a hotel with the privacy, space and freedom of home. With family-friendly amenities and an unrivaled attention to detail, Silvestre is not just another vacation rental, but the perfect environment to recharge, renew your spirit and become the best possible version of yourself.
This Pacific peninsula dotted with picturesque beaches isn’t just a magnet for surfers and yogis—it’s also one of the world’s original Blue Zones, where people live longer than anywhere else. These geographic areas (the others being Ikaria, Greece; Sardinia, Italy; Okinawa, Japan; and Loma Linda, California) were identified in the aughts. There’s now a revived interest in exploring them, thanks to best-selling author Dan Buettner’s hit Netflix docuseries “Live to 100: Secrets of the Blue Zones”. We highly suggest devouring the series, packed with interesting information and useful tips to apply in our daily life.
But some Blue Zones have changed drastically due to modernization, and others require a level of discomfort that many travelers would find off-putting, Buettner explains. The Nicoya Peninsula, however, offers a sweet spot in the middle. He points to Nosara as a “gateway destination” to the Blue Zones, where it’s easy to embrace the “Power Nine” principles of centenarians, like moving naturally, eating plant-based foods, and socializing, all while staying at a nice hotel.
“Nosara happens to be in a Blue zone, but it’s an anomaly,” says Buettner. “It offers a remanifestation of a Blue Zone lifestyle in more of a 21st-century American format.”
At the sleek and community-focused Silvestre Nosara, living well is effortless by design. The property, which opened in February 2024 just steps away from the world-famous surf break at Playa Guiones, combines the amenities of a luxury hotel, the comforts of a private home, and the benefits of a health retreat. Days start with private surf lessons, Blue Zone-inspired breakfasts on the rooftop, and yoga classes in a cool subterranean wellness studio. Part of Travel + Leisure’s 2024 It List, Silvestre Nosara has been named one of The 100 Best New Hotels of The Year.
Each luxury residence gives you access to:
Custom high performance surfboards : each guest receives a custom board shaped by pro surfer Jim Banks to use during their stay.
Rooftop lounge bar & pool
Studio for fitness & yoga classes
Barrel sauna
Ice bath
In terms of experiences, expect to be surprised with:

Boat rides, waterfall gateways
Horseback riding on the beach

Sustainability
Silvestre's landscaping is designed to be a continuation of the lush flora found in the surrounding nature reserve. Not only was the placement of the building carefully planned to save trees, but they planted a significant number of new trees on site. The hotel is also a gold sponsor of Costas Verdes, driving the reforestation of Nosara and Costa Rica overall. CHECK IN HERE.
🏄 PERSONS: CHRIS INGHAM BROOKE AND ILYA KOROLEV
Founders of Silvestre
“It started from this desire to channel everything I love — surfing, working out, my family, community — and try and put it into a single building. There's this sense of freedom that we didn't have in the U.K., and I needed a solution to stay and live out our jungle dreams. Silvestre became that reason. I wanted to push myself to build something I would be proud of.” - Chris Ingham Brooke
As with every good story, it starts with a party...
Ilya and I were at a party, and the music was so terrible, we had to leave. As we were walking down to the beach, we asked each other: What is it that makes this town really, really special? It's being right down by the ocean. It’s the ability to pick up your board and walk barefoot all the way to the surf. That’s one of the most special things about being in Nosara. You have this amazing nature reserve right on the beach, and all you see when you look back is the lush jungle.”
