Arriving by private charter at Nosara Airport places guests mere minutes from Playa Guiones and the boutique properties lining the Nicoya Peninsula, bypassing any need for lengthy domestic connections or lengthy overland transfers from San José. The airport’s compact, low-traffic environment means no queues, no crowded terminals, and a seamless ramp-to-vehicle experience that perfectly complements the relaxed luxury ethos of the destination.

NOB’s intimate infrastructure ensures a discreet, efficient arrival that larger commercial hubs simply cannot replicate.

About Nosara Airport

Nosara Airport (IATA: NOB, ICAO: MRNS) is a state-operated domestic aerodrome managed under the Costa Rican Civil Aviation Authority, positioned to serve the growing influx of international visitors transiting through Costa Rica’s major gateways before connecting onward to the Nicoya Peninsula. The airport primarily handles light turboprop and small piston aircraft, as well as light jets whose performance characteristics are well suited to the shorter gravel runway. Facilities are modest but functional, with ramp-side arrivals offering a refreshingly personal experience compared to larger international terminals. Customs and immigration for international private passengers are typically coordinated in advance through San José, with the NOB arrival serving as a domestic leg following border formalities. The airport’s position within the lush coastal landscape, surrounded by tropical forest, makes the arrival itself a distinctive and memorable part of the journey.

Private Jet Charter Tips for Nosara Beach Nosara

  • Best time to visit — December through April offers the dry season, with consistent surf, clear skies, and ideal conditions for outdoor activities
  • Transfer to city — NOB is approximately 5–10 minutes by road from the main beach village; private 4×4 transfers are strongly recommended given local road conditions
  • Recommended aircraft — Light turboprops and light jets with strong short-field performance are best suited to NOB’s runway; longer-range routing should stage through San José (SJO)
  • Customs and immigration — International arrivals complete formalities at the San José gateway before the domestic connection to NOB; advance coordination with Costa Rican authorities is essential for a smooth experience
