"The hotel occupies a prime stretch of Playa Guiones, one of the most consistent surf breaks in the world, with over 330 days per year of glassy gnar for the shredding. Nosara has a number of casual surf hotels and a handful of higher-end spots that are great for couples and solo travelers, but Silvestre brings a new level of luxury to the destination—specifically with spacious accommodations designed for families, groups, and longer stays. Although there are just nine residences here (ranging from two- to four-bedrooms, and some up to 2,000 square feet), Silvestre includes a range of luxe amenities you’d expect from a hotel five times its size, including a tropical rooftop lounge serving cocktails and local coffee, a studio space hosting speakers and wellness programming, and complimentary airport transfers. And you can leave your longboard at home: access to the house’s custom-designed performance surfboards comes included in your stay. Cowabunga, dude. From $1,700 per night."
