Noma Collective: Playa Grande, Costa Rica 🇨🇷

I recently went on the Costa Rica trip with Noma, and it was unforgettable! Honestly, the only thing that could have made it better was a longer stay. This was my first experience working remotely while traveling abroad, and Noma made everything feel effortless. The accommodations were comfortable and had everything I needed to settle in and be productive—it truly felt like home. Having a private workspace and an extra monitor was a game-changer!

The itinerary struck a perfect balance, giving us a taste of all that Costa Rica has to offer. Some excursions were challenging, but they made it all the more rewarding to embrace the energy of Costa Rica. What really made the trip special, though, was our community manager, Javi. He went out of his way to add extra activities tailored to our interests, which made everything feel so much more personal. Javi’s positive, thoughtful, and knowledgeable approach brought our group together like family.

All in all, it was an amazing experience, and I’ll keep recommending it to everyone I know!

I recently went on the Costa Rica edition and WOW was it amazing 🤩 The accommodations are beautiful, modern, and perfectly situated by the most beautiful beach. Our community manager, Javi, was so so kind, caring, and always ready to help us have the best time. ONDA is such a nice property in playa grande. The staff were so sweet and friendly! There were also so many lovely dogs visiting the property which added to the charm and made each day exciting for me. The best part of all was the amazing community we created in the 3 weeks we were there together. I’m so happy to have found such authentic and genuine friendships. Very excited for future trips with NOMA!

This was my first NOMA Experience, and first time in Costa Rica. Wow, what an amazing three weeks it was! Chill beach vibes, amazing off the beaten track location and a fantastic group of digital nomads. Well worth the experience and I look forward to visiting more NOMA locations in the future! Also, can't say enough positive things about Javi, the community manager. His local knowledge was invaluable in so many ways not only to me but to the community as a whole. Truly an asset to the NOMA experience.

Belize....is that you calling my name next?

Absolutely loved my experience with Noma Collective's Costa Rica Edition! The setup was seamless, and the vibe was incredible thanks to the welcoming community and dedicated staff. Javi, our community manager, was always available and very knowledgeable—ready to help in any way possible to make sure we had what we needed and got to enjoy all the experiences we were interested in. This included organizing and joining us on a trip to watch sea turtles nest and hatch on a beach 2 hours away! Danielle, the head of sales, brought contagious energy and enthusiasm to every activity, which made the entire experience even better. The team at Onda truly went above and beyond; their attention to detail and hard work made every day enjoyable and stress-free. And I’m so grateful for all the other remote workers I met and to be apart of the Noma community. It was such a well-run program and genuinely worth it!

I went on the Costa Rica edition with Noma this October. It was truly an amazing experience. The people hosting were amazing and the activities were lots of fun.
I want to give a special shout-out to our community manager, Javi. I was a little nervous going to a place I've never been before, but having Javi there, I just knew I was taken care of all along the way. He was super welcoming and responsive to my asks, and also just a fun person! On the first day, I needed a sim card. Although I replied late, he still managed to get me a sim card and helped me set up. I also asked for a desk in the room, and he got one moved to my room the same day. His ceviche teaching class was one of my top highlights on this trip. He organized many fun activities for us and connected us with the local community. Javi truly made my Costa Rica experience with NOMA a warming one. Thank you Javi and NOMA!

I had an amazing experience with Noma in Costa Rica, would 100% recommend!! So many elements of this experience were 10/10 — the incredible location, great accommodations, and most of all, the community. The trip had a great mix of structured events and flexibility to do your own thing, and I absolutely loved Playa Grande + the corner of Costa Rica we got to explore. I also can’t say enough good things about the community manager, Javi. He went above and beyond to make the trip the best it could be for every single person on our trip, all the while being so chill, friendly, and engaged with all of us. Thank you Javi, the team at Onda, and Noma for an amazing 3 weeks 🤩

The only thing that could have improved my Costa Rica experience would have been a longer stay. It was my first time traveling and working remotely, and Noma made it effortless. The accommodations had everything needed to feel at home and work comfortably. The well-thought-out itinerary included a diverse range of activities. Our community manager, Javi, went above and beyond, adding extra activities based on the group’s interests and requests. I was grateful to have such a cheerful, thoughtful, and knowledgeable community manager who truly brought the group together. Overall, it was an amazing experience, and I can’t wait to return!

This was one of my favorite trips ever! Noma made my dream come true of traveling to one of my bucket list places, Costa Rica, and being able to work remotely, experience Costa Rica surf, yoga, dancing, people, food, and experiences, and do it in community with great people. Our community manager, Javi, is truly one of a kind and was incredibly kind, personable, and attentive. He really made the trip what it was and then some. I’m so grateful for him, Noma, and all the amazing people I met on this unforgettable trip! Also, Danielle, head of sales, was incredibly helpful in answering all of my questions pre-booking. (: I would definitely do it again!

I recently joined Noma Collective for their Costa Rica edition, and it was an amazing experience. Noma's expert curation of the trip blended work, leisure, and cultural immersion seamlessly.

The sense of community and connection I felt with fellow digital nomads was deeply enriching. This Costa Rica edition was more than just a trip, it was a journey of making new friendships and experiencing personal growth.

I highly recommend Noma Collective for anyone seeking a unique and fulfilling digital nomad experience. Look forward to my next adventure with this awesome community.
