Welcome to Nakama Nosara
Come as a friend, leave as family.
Tucked into the lush tranquility of Playa Garza, Nakama is more than just a villa, it’s a sanctuary for artists, dreamers, and wanderers seeking rest, reconnection, and renewal.
Created by Swiss artist and host Ariane, Nakama was born from a deep love for art, nature, and soulful community. Thoughtfully designed with intention and heart, every detail of this four-suite villa invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and feel at home.
Whether you're here for a creative reset, a wellness retreat, or simply to unwind by the pool with friends old and new, Nakama offers the perfect balance of privacy, beauty, and shared connection.
Where friends become family.
