Planning a trip for a big group is about more than just finding a place to stay. Whether it is a family reunion, a wellness retreat, a wedding celebration, or a getaway with friends who truly enjoy spending time together, you deserve a destination that exceeds every expectation. One that feels grand yet welcoming. Spacious yet intimate. Thoughtfully designed so every moment from sunrise yoga to late-night laughter flows effortlessly.
Castillo Colonial is that rare find. Just minutes from Nosara’s vibrant town and beaches, this elegant estate is spacious without feeling formal and perfectly equipped to make group travel seamless. Whether you are rolling out yoga mats, herding toddlers, or coordinating a chef-prepared dinner, everything here is set up to make your time together easy, comfortable, and unforgettable.
There are 15 bedrooms split across 4 villas, with 7 separate units so everyone gets a bit of privacy and a good night’s sleep. You’ve got two private pools, wide shaded terraces, breezy open spaces, and a huge grassy lawn where kids can play, adults can unwind, and celebrations unfold naturally. It’s just five minutes from the beach and town, but it feels like a peaceful little world all your own.
