Nantipa

A boutique beachfront resort in Santa Teresa offering a rare Costa Rican beach escape, because most Costa Rica beach resorts are not on this beach. This is. Features modern bungalows, a big pool, and activities like surfing, yoga, and nature hikes.

Stuff You Should Know

Paradise comes with a commute – you’ll need 4-6 hours depending on your airport of choice (factor in ferry timing if coming from San José). The design occasionally breaks character with some puzzling furniture choices, but the beach setup more than compensates. Yoga enthusiasts, brace for non-complimentary namaste sessions at $20 per enlightenment. One restaurant on-site, but Santa Teresa’s culinary scene is just a dusty stroll away, or stumble down the beach.

Food + Drink On-site surprises

Ocean-front dining where shoes remain optional

Manzú restaurant plays double duty as beach bar and dining destination, serving up Pacific Rim-meets-Costa Rica cuisine from sunrise to starlight. While it’s the sole on-property dining venue, you’re hardly marooned – Santa Teresa’s vibrant restaurant scene lies just beyond the gate. For a quick escape, a Brazilian BBQ joint beckons just two minutes down the beach. The real magic happens at sunset, when the restaurant’s beach setup transforms into the perfect perch for sundowners.
