Buena Vibra
“Buena Vibra” is a saying used in Costa Rica to describe the “Good Vibration” experienced when feeling fully alive. They have been sharing their love of Nosara for over 20 years and The BVC is an organic reflection of high-vibrational living.

The hostel, offering dorm style rooms, combines a jungle ambience with beachfront tranquility.

Location
This surf camp will take place in Playa Guiones. Playa Guiones is nestled in the quiet, quaint town of Nosara in the Guanacaste Province on the Pacific side of the country of Costa Rica. Unlike the crowded beaches of places like Tamarindo, Jaco, or Dominical, in Nosara, you won’t be trampled by hordes of tourists! There are no street lights or paved roads and there are still monkeys cruising in the trees, but there are just the right amount of amenities in town to ensure you have a relaxing vacation. It’s a surfer’s paradise!
The town of Nosara embodies all of what makes Costa Rica the most desirable place to visit on vacation. It’s like a journey back in time where people wave at you as you pass by and greet you with a smile, always willing to help, where old cultural ways integrate seamlessly with the new wave of today’s younger generation. Nosara has no paved roads, no street lights, monkeys still cruising in the trees, but Nosara does have the creature comforts you all have come to enjoy like Wi-Fi connection, ATM access, A/C, cable TV, shopping, etc.
What makes Nosara so attractive to people is that everything in Nosara revolves around the art and passion that is wave riding! The surf school location in Nosara is an extremely special place as it blends the cool vibe of a sleepy surf town with the wellness and focus of a world class yoga destination. It’s a pretty amazing synergy of people in and out of the water!
