Nestled in the small surf and yoga town of Santa Teresa, on the Nicoya Peninsula, Nantipa is a unique boutique hotel set alone on a wonderful stretch of windswept beach. Every element is inspired by the ocean and sky — right down to its name, which means ‘blue’ in the native Chorotegan language.
OUR OPINION:
Nantipa is located in a unique spot, overlooking the beach and away from the heart of Santa Teresa. This property is perfect for families or couples looking to combine adventure and relaxation.
