A real sky
No light pollution. On clear nights the Milky Way is visible to the naked eye — and there's a telescope on the property so you can look up close.

Our story
The family house
This house belongs to the Mendoza Miranda family — Guanacastecos through and through. They built it with their own hands to open the doors to anyone who wants to see the real Costa Rica.
Here you wake up to the chachalacas, swim in the Río Tabaco a few minutes away, lie back in the hammock with the telescope and watch the Milky Way. The beaches are just around the corner and people still ride horses through the village.
No traffic, no city lights, no crowds. Real calm — the kind that's almost gone.
What you'll live
Costa Rica, unfiltered
Pura Noche isn't a resort. It's a house in the bush — you fall asleep to crickets and wake to the call of the chachalacas.
Blue Zone
You're in one of five regions on Earth where people live the longest. Something about this air.
A real village
No pedestrianized streets built for tourists. This is rural Guanacaste — people still ride horses through town.
Empty beaches
Marbella is 10 minutes away, San Juanillo 25. Most days they're yours and nobody else's.
To do
What there is to do
A lot happens without leaving the property. What's outside is a few minutes away by car.
On site
Wildlife on the property
Howler monkeys, iguanas, tropical birds and butterflies show up unannounced. The house is surrounded by dry tropical forest — wildlife checks in daily.
On site
Pool and rancho
Private pool, open-air rancho with BBQ and hammocks. The center of slow days — where you cook, nap, and plan very little.
On site
Forest walks
Short trails around the house. For sipping morning coffee on a walk or stretching after lunch.
On site
Nights at Pura Noche
Telescope for the Milky Way, fire pit for late beers, hammock for watching nothing. The silence here is the plan.
Why here
You're in a Blue Zone
Nicoya is one of five regions in the world with the highest concentration of centenarians. It's not marketing — National Geographic and Dan Buettner researched it. Something about the diet, the water, the sun, the calm. And two national parks a few hours away: Barra Honda with its caves and Diriá with its tropical dry forest. Come find out for a few days.
