About Santa Marta
Santa Marta is a small Costa Rican village just inland from Playa Pelada, set among green hills near the Río Montaña. It is where much of Nosara's local community lives, with family homes, small shops, and newer houses tucked into the surrounding hills.
It suits renters who want more space for their budget and a real neighbourhood feel, while keeping Pelada's beach and Nosara's amenities within a short drive.
An authentic local village atmosphere, more space and value than beachside areas, and green hills and river surroundings make Santa Marta a unique choice for those seeking genuine local living.
