The Cultural Heartbeat of Nosara

Set in the heart of Nosara, Encuentro was created as a stage for the stories and sounds that define this community. Every detail — from its natural materials to its open-air design — reflects a belief that beauty and connection belong together.

Here, creativity takes many forms: concerts, theater, film screenings, jazz nights, variety shows, and dance parties. Sometimes the energy is electric, DJs moving the crowd under the stars. Other nights are intimate and soulful, friends sharing a drink as live jazz fills the air.

And often, the stage belongs to world-class artists, whose performances rival global venues yet feel distinctly of this place, grounded in community, illuminated by jungle light.

Every night feels intentional, alive, and human. Encuentro isn’t just a venue; it’s a living expression of Nosara’s creative spirit, where art meets atmosphere, and everyone is invited to belong.

Alive with intention and art — the creative pulse of Nosara.
