Good to Know

  • Tamarindo is a surf town first, not a coworking hub — most sources agree it has only a handful of dedicated spaces, so expect fewer options and less density than nomad hotspots like Medellín or Lisbon.
  • The most consistently praised space for serious focused work is the hotel-based setup at In the Shade, largely because of its redundant fibre internet (300Mbps main line plus two backups) — a meaningful edge given Costa Rica's generally slower average internet speeds.
  • Sand & Surf Coworking operates by appointment only with no walk-ins, so don't show up expecting to just grab a desk — message ahead.
  • Several spaces don't publish day-pass or monthly pricing online; expect to email, WhatsApp, or ask at reception directly to get a current quote.
  • If a coworking space's core appeal is a hotel pool, cafe, or yoga room, remember the primary product is still the hotel stay — non-guest day-pass access and its price are secondary and inconsistently advertised.
  • Sand & Surf Coworking is by appointment only with no walk-ins, so reach out ahead of time rather than showing up expecting a drop-in desk.
  • Selina Tamarindo's coworking day/monthly rates found were general network-wide pricing published by third-party guides rather than a Tamarindo-specific price sheet — confirm current local pricing directly with the property before committing.
  • Beach towns like Tamarindo have improved internet infrastructure but can still see outages during heavy rain, so a backup mobile data plan is a sensible fallback for either space.
  • Selina's true coliving-club offering (bundled room + coworking + social programming) is a separate 'CoLive' membership from its plain day-pass coworking — ask specifically about CoLive if you want the full club-style bundle rather than just desk access.

Coworking Spaces

Traditional and Hotel-Based Spaces

  • In the Shade Hotel – Coworking
    Type
    Hotel-based coworking
    Neighborhood
    Calle Corona area, about 2 minutes from the town center and 5 minutes' walk to Tamarindo beach
    Vibe and Amenities
    An adults-only boutique hotel with a dedicated ~500 sqft air-conditioned coworking area beside the pool. It runs on a 300Mbps fibre-optic main line with a 200Mbps and a 20Mbps backup line, which locals and reviewers point to as the most reliable internet in Tamarindo. Amenities include multiple single and small-group workstations, outdoor shaded seating, on-site coffee/smoothies via the Garden Cafe, and printing (200 CRC per page). The atmosphere is described as clean, modern, minimal, and genuinely quiet — built for people who want an actual office feel rather than a poolside laptop session.
    Pricing Note
    Day and weekly passes are available for non-guests, but the exact rate is not published online — it's quoted at reception. The space is complimentary for hotel guests.
  • Sand & Surf Coworking
    Type
    Traditional coworking
    Neighborhood
    Office 4, Aqua Discotheque building, about 100 meters north of Hotel Díria, central Tamarindo
    Vibe and Amenities
    A small, clean, comfortable private-office setup rather than an open hot-desk floor. The community leans wellness-focused, with members often tied into yoga, meditation, and surf routines around their work schedule, and the space markets itself on networking opportunities within that crowd.
    Pricing Note
    Offers are structured as weekly or monthly office rentals rather than casual day passes; operates strictly by appointment, with no walk-ins accepted, so pricing must be requested directly.
  • Coworksurf Tamarindo
    Type
    Traditional coworking
    Neighborhood
    Central Tamarindo (exact street address not published)
    Vibe and Amenities
    Positioned as a combined coworking, coliving, and surf-lesson operation aimed squarely at remote workers who want structured surf time built around their work week, rather than a standard hot-desk office.
    Pricing Note
    Pricing is not publicly listed and appears to be bundled into coliving/surf packages rather than sold as a standalone day or monthly desk rate.
  • Hotel Luna Llena (Coworking-oriented Hotel)
    Type
    Hotel-based coworking
    Neighborhood
    About 300 meters from Tamarindo Beach, close to the town center
    Vibe and Amenities
    A boutique hotel with an outdoor pool, gym, and yoga room with an instructor, plus reliable Wi-Fi throughout the property and an on-site cafeteria/bar for breakfast and snacks. It's pitched as a place to blend a work session with pool or gym time rather than a dedicated coworking floor.
    Pricing Note
    Marketed as work-friendly through its guest amenities rather than a formal advertised day-pass program for non-guests; no public coworking rate found.
  • Selina Tamarindo
    Type
    Hotel-based coworking
    Neighborhood
    Tamarindo (part of the wider Selina hostel/hospitality network with locations across Costa Rica including Jacó, La Fortuna, Manuel Antonio, Nosara, Puerto Viejo, Santa Teresa, and San José)
    Vibe and Amenities
    Familiar, backpacker-meets-remote-worker branding: communal work areas layered into a hostel/hotel setting, useful if you're brand-hopping between Selina locations in other Costa Rican towns and want a consistent setup.
    Pricing Note
    Selina is a recognized hostelling/coworking brand with a Tamarindo location, but the sources we checked did not surface Tamarindo-specific day-pass or monthly desk pricing — confirm current rates directly with the property.

Membership Clubs and Co-living Hybrids

Clubs and Hybrids

  • Selina Tamarindo (CoWork / CoLive)
    Type
    Co-living / co-working hybrid
    Neighborhood
    Heart of Tamarindo, short walk to Playa Tamarindo
    Vibe and Amenities
    Hostel-first operation that combines a coworking floor with on-site accommodation, a bar, pool, yoga studio, and regular community events, letting guests eat, sleep, work, and socialize in the same building. It functions as Tamarindo's default coliving-hybrid anchor, with a built-in social calendar (yoga, surf, group events) layered on top of desk access.

    Pricing

    Day pass
    CRC 6,080
    Monthly hot desk
    CRC 86,190
    Monthly Private Office
    CRC 126,750
    Coliving Note
    Selina also runs a separate 'CoLive' program (a bundled 30-night stay across Selina properties combining room + coworking access), but Tamarindo-specific CoLive pricing was not published anywhere findable — travelers need to request a quote directly.
  • Sand & Surf Coworking
    Type
    Membership club
    Neighborhood
    Office #4, Aqua Discotheque building, 100m north of Hotel Díria — central Tamarindo
    Vibe and Amenities
    A small, appointment-only space (no walk-ins) with 24/7 access, giving it a more private, members-club feel rather than an open drop-in coworking floor. The community leans wellness-oriented — yoga, meditation, and group surf sessions are part of the culture — and it's positioned close enough to the beach for breaks between calls.

    Pricing

    Weekly
    CRC 70,980
    Day pass
    CRC 12,680
    Monthly Private Office
    CRC 228,150
