Nosara, Costa Rica
The Gilded Iguana
The place
A Nosara fixture — a surf retreat since the 1980s, remade by Studio Saxe with a breezy tropical hand. The 29 rooms pair wooden furnishings with concrete floors, geometric bathroom tiles, and a private balcony.
The outdoor pool anchors the center, ringed by sun beds, umbrellas and lush greenery. There is a cutting-edge athletic center, an organic spa, yoga classes, and a run of outdoor experiences. The in-house restaurant serves fresh, locally-sourced cooking from breakfast to dinner; the bar answers with botanical cocktails and healthy smoothies.
