Minimalist Luxury in an Adults-Only Ambiance
Esh Hotel & Spa is an luxurious adult-only boutique property in Nosara, on Costa Rica’s Nicoya Peninsula. It features 29 suites and villas built with reclaimed wood from the local environment. The hotel combines minimalist wabi-sabi and brutalist design elements that integrate with the surrounding jungle, creating a sustainable sanctuary for guests 14 years and older.
Designed for Nature Immersion and Architectural Beauty
The architectural concept represents a collaboration between Costa Rica's FAMM Arquitectura and Mexico City's Sulkin Askenazi. Together, they have created spaces that utilize greys, indirect light, and imperfect forms to achieve a sense of harmony with nature. The property's design philosophy centers on the transformative concept of fire, encouraging guests to disconnect from everyday life and connect with essential experiences.
Rooms combine contemporary design with natural elements, featuring modern amenities and in-room breakfast service. Accommodations range from villas with private plunge pools to suites with balconies extending into the jungle canopy.
