A minimalist five-room boutique hotel in Santa Teresa offering chic, Scandi-inspired design, a serene pool area, and private roof decks. Perfect for design lovers and surfers seeking an intimate retreat near the beach.
The Swedish owners apparently decided Costa Rica needed more minimalism and less beach proximity – bold move that somehow works. While the steep access road suggests your rental car should have mountaineering experience. Studio Saxe's architectural fingerprints are everywhere, proving that tropical modernism isn't an oxymoron. At $200 a night, it's practically giving away its design credentials, though you might want to invest the savings in a 4x4 vehicle.
Fancy the VIP treatment? Book with us, and we’ll make it happen. Early check-in, late check-out? Sorted. Free breakfast? Of course. F+B voucher? We’ll work on it. Room upgrade? Probably.
It’s all about who you know, and with our FORA partnership, you’re always in the inner circle. We’ll confirm what perks we’ve arranged before you ever pay.

Food + Drink On-site surprises
No restaurant - the design diet is filling enough
: The absence of on-site dining, outside of breakfast, drinks and snacks, feels intentional, as if sustenance might distract from the aesthetic experience. Santa Teresa's restaurant scene awaits below, providing a convenient excuse to leave your minimalist nest occasionally. Consider the trek down (and more importantly, back up) the hill your workout program. The real feast here is visual – though you might want to pack snacks for those moments when you're too comfortable in your perfectly positioned lounger to venture out.
