Santa Teresa.
Santa Teresa is a laid-back yet vibrant surf village on the Nicoya Peninsula, known for its consistent waves and unspoiled coastline.
Over time, it has evolved into a destination for those seeking both movement and stillness — surf at sunrise, yoga beneath open skies, nourishing cuisine, and space to step away from the rhythm of everyday life.
It is a place where ocean energy meets jungle calm — where visitors embrace Costa Rica's effortless Pura Vida spirit while reconnecting with nature and themselves.
Four reasons
to know this place.
The Beaches
Within a few minutes drive of all our houses you will find several of the most beautiful white sand beaches in Costa Rica including Playa Carmen, Playa Santa Teresa, Playa Hermosa and Mal Pais. Lined by a lush tropical jungle, these gorgeous beaches are known for their consistent surf throughout the year.
The Restaurants
Santa Teresa is quickly becoming known as the gastronomic capital of Costa Rica. There are many local Costa Rican Sodas as well as international restaurants specializing in Italian, Spanish, Argentinean and Asian cuisine.
Blue Zone
The Nicoya Peninsula is one of the five Blue Zones in the world, known for longevity and healthy lifestyles. Santa Teresa offers a unique environment where well-being comes naturally.
