Hacienda Barrigona

This resort is on the coast of the Nicoya Peninsula, just south of the popular beaches of Nosara and Guiones. It’s also a short distance from Sámara, which is a stunning location for wildlife tours. Hacienda Barrigona has only 10 rooms, and the grounds curate your experience of the lush Nicoya landscape.

Nestled amidst lush greenery this hidden paradise offers the perfect blend of serenity, adventure, and personalized comfort. Casa Barrigona, Casa Guanacaste, and Casa Dorada add up to ten individual bedrooms, all thoughtfully designed to provide an unparalleled experience of privacy and relaxation. Each villa features fully equipped kitchens, inviting you to craft your own culinary delights at your leisure—so whether you're whipping up a fresh tropical feast or savoring a quiet coffee on the veranda, every meal is uniquely yours.

The beauty of Hacienda Barrigona lies in its seamless connection with nature. With soaring ceilings, wide doors that open onto breezy verandas, and elegant touches like handcrafted Costa Rican wood furniture and intricate stone carvings, each space is infused with warmth and authenticity.

As the sun rises, start your day in the tranquil central courtyards, stretch into a rejuvenating yoga session, or bask by the pool with nothing but the soothing sounds of nature as your soundtrack. When adventure calls, take an effortless stroll through jungle trails, leading you straight to the secluded Barrigona Beach—a breathtaking stretch of 700 meters of powdery white sand where you can bask in total tranquility.

Nosara beaches have a special charm all their own – they are best known for their gentle surfing conditions and tidepools that fill once the tide goes out, leaving behind fish and other marine wildlife. Some of the tidepools are even large enough for snorkeling. The town itself has a large ex-pat community and lots of businesses that cater to out-of-towners. It takes just 30 minutes to drive to Playa Guiones, a popular surfing destination where you can take surf lessons. In nearby Sámara, there an abundance of excellent options for kayaking and snorkeling tours.
