Nantipa - A Tico Beach Experience

You are one step away from the true blue: the immensity of the ocean expands in front of you making your days last longer, your life richer. Nantipa, the Chorotegan word for blue, is the essential color that envelops this unique luxury experience we are eager to share, with both nature and leisure lovers from all around the globe. The distinct pleasure of a true beachfront vacation awaits you in the heart of the Nicoya Península: Santa Teresa is a hidden treasure where deep blue waters are framed by vividly green tropical rainforests. Costa Rica's destination for surfing, wellness and beachfront lust. One of the country's gastronomic centers, life in this boho-chic town seamlessly blends…

Nantipa is the Chorotegan word for blue. So, it’s only natural that this boutique hotel is surrounded by the deep blue waters of the Gulf of Nicoya. The 21 bungalows, suites, and villas feature all the luxuriously beachy amenities you could want (some even have private plunge pools and indoor/outdoor showers). The thatched-roof Manzú Restaurant serves traditional Tico recipes with a modern twist. And just outside your door, you’ll find endless ways to explore, including horseback riding, artisan fishing, and surfing.
