Where to shop in Nosara
Where to shop in Nosara
The boutiques we actually send our friends to, run by people who live here and love it here.
While Nosara is known for its surf and yoga, it is also lined with boutique shops filled with vacation essentials, beachwear, handmade jewelry, bikinis, home decor, and surf gear. Despite the heat and dust, this little coastal town still knows how to mix in some style.
This is our short list of shops run by people who live here, love it here and make Nosara more interesting. These are the places we send our friends.
lobo
Selfishly, yes, it is ours, so take that as you will. lobo carries a curated collection of women's and men's clothing, beauty, home decor, handmade rugs, art, pottery and books. We rotate the collection regularly, sourcing natural materials and quality pieces designed to survive the salt and sun.
Our rug atelier is always evolving, with wool, jute, silk and cotton rugs, including vintage, hand knotted and handwoven pieces. Many are in stock, and almost anything can be made to order. And the books are not to be missed… a selection of unexpected, classics, easy beach reads, and coffee table books in English and Spanish.

Yasmine
Nosara's jungle atelier. Everything is designed and made locally by Yasmine in her studio. Romantic, wispy and beautifully delicate pieces line the shop, all created with an insane attention to detail and handwork. She is constantly introducing new designs to the collection, and we want all of them.
Stay tuned for her bridal showroom, opening alongside the boutique in 2026, and visit her second shop in Santa Teresa.

Cola Blanca
Technically not a boutique, but with rotating pop ups and killer design, it is absolutely worth a stop. Check out the space, peep the racks, grab a coffee and stay awhile.
Hot Tamale
A Nosara fixture for about a decade and still the best spot for secondhand shopping. Expect vintage, resale and the occasional sequined dress you didn't know you needed. The stock changes daily, so go often. If you are lucky, Lily will have tequila.
La Cueva
By lobo x Yasmine. A collaboration between two friends and two creative worlds. La Cueva is an elevated beachside shop with a curated selection of women's and men's clothing, accessories, books and objects inspired by surf culture, travel and slow living.
La Cueva. 50 m west of Harmony Hotel, Downtown Guiones, Provincia de Guanacaste, Nosara, 50206
La Galeria
Nosara Design's showroom with an incredible collection of home goods. Filled with home decor sourced from Bali and pieces made locally. Pauline's exquisite taste is obvious the moment you step inside, whether you visit the shop in El Pueblo or the storefront in central Guiones.
La Galeria. Esperanza Diagonal a, Tennis Center 506, Provincia de Guanacaste, Nosara, 50206
Recreo
A funky jungle bus bursting with color and all around fun. Find small gifts and one of a kind pieces, then stay to enjoy vibes and lounge created by Jozie and her team.
Recreo. Next to Cafe de Paris Minigolf, Main entrance, Provincia de Guanacaste, Guiones
Bazzar
No Nosara shopping list would be complete without this institution created by Gonca Gul. Bazzar mixes bold style and one of a kind fashion with flowy dresses that have just the right amount of hip. Everything is ethically sourced, organically produced and entirely its own.

Handicraft shop with unique jewelry, one of a kind gifts and hair feathers. Expect lots of art, funky accessories, and walking out with one or more feathers in your mane.
