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 for a closer look.

Pura Noche under the Guanacaste sky
An authentic rural house between San Juanillo and Marbella. Here, luxury means silence, star-filled skies, and the real Pura Vida—not the postcard version.

Our story
The family house
This house belongs to the Mendoza Miranda family—Guanacastecos through and through. They built it with their own hands and opened its doors to anyone who wants to experience the real Costa Rica.
Here, you wake up to the calls of the chachalacas, take a dip in the nearby Río Tabaco, relax in a hammock with a telescope at hand, and watch the Milky Way stretch across the night sky. The beaches are just around the corner, and horses still wander through the village streets.
No traffic. No city lights. No crowds. Just real calm—the kind that's becoming hard to find.
What you'll live
Costa Rica, unfiltered
Pura Noche isn't a resort. It's a house in the bush—quiet, simple, and surrounded by nature. You fall asleep to crickets and wake to the call of the chachalacas.
Blue Zone
You're in one of only five Blue Zones in the world, where people are known for living long, healthy lives. Maybe it's something in the air.
A real village
No streets designed for tourists. This is rural Guanacaste—people still ride horses through town.
Empty beaches
Marbella is 10 minutes away, San Juanillo 25. Most days, you'll have them almost entirely to yourself.
To do
What there is to do
You can spend an entire day without leaving the property. If you do venture out, beaches, rivers, and villages are only a few minutes away.
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
A private pool, an open-air rancho, BBQ, and hammocks. The heart of slow days—where meals take their time, naps happen naturally, and plans can wait.
On site
Forest walks
Short trails around the house. Perfect for a morning coffee stroll or a stretch after lunch.
On site
Nights at Pura Noche
A telescope for the Milky Way, a fire pit for late beers, a hammock for watching nothing. The plan here is silence.
Why here
You're in a Blue Zone
Nicoya is one of five Blue Zones in the world, studied by National Geographic and researcher Dan Buettner. People here live long lives. Diet, water, sun, calm—no one fully agrees why. A few hours away: Barra Honda's limestone caves and Diriá's tropical dry forest. Come find out for a few days.
