L'Acqua Viva Resort & Spa is nestled in the Nosara tropical paradise of Playa Guiones. It was designed as a nature lover’s community offering a delightful environment to assist guests in attaining a balance with the creative energies of nature.

The resort’s very authentic architectonic "Bali Style" is in perfect harmony with the exquisite decoration representing the fusion of diverse ethnic elements from around the world.
