Welcome to Casa Nãi! Here, the friendly forest spirit meets the fun and adventure of the Pacific coast. The name Nãi comes from the language of Costa Rica’s native people, and it means Tapir or Danta. This gentle animal of the rainforest is known for being calm, strong, and connected to water. We invite you to stay like the Nãi: deep in nature, relaxed by the easy pace of life, and ready to enjoy all the beauty around you.
Set in the green hills of Herradura, Puntarenas, Casa Nãi gives you the best mix of a quiet getaway and easy travel. Our home is the perfect starting point for seeing the best of the Central Pacific area:
Nature Close By: We are just minutes away from amazing nature spots, including Carara National Park—a great place to see colorful birds—and the protected beach at Refugio Vida Silvestre Playa Hermosa for sea turtles. Wake up to rainforest sounds and see bright Scarlet Macaws flying overhead.
Easy Road Trips South: Casa Nãi is right at the start of the famous Costanera Sur Highway. This means you have smooth access to stunning beaches, popular surfing towns, and deep rainforests down the Central and Southern Pacific Coasts (like Manuel Antonio, Dominical, and Uvita).
Simple Travel: Enjoy a comfortable, beautiful two-hour drive from Costa Rica’s main international airport (SJO). You will go straight from the airport to relaxation with no trouble.
At Casa Nãi, we believe a great vacation is about feeling connected—to nature, to culture, and to yourself. Our house is built to blend with the environment, offering you a private, calm place to rest after a day of Pura Vida activities. You can spend your days surfing the warm ocean, zip-lining high above the trees, or simply relaxing by the coast.
Casa Nãi is your perfect home base for extended stay in the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica, allowing to explore ALL places along the largest coast side of the country. A perfect option for Digital Nomads who want work and explore the nature at the same time during long time.
