Santa Teresa, Costa Rica – Where Jungle Vibes Meet Barefoot Luxury

Santa Teresa is a magnetic stretch of beach on Costa Rica’s Nicoya Peninsula, known for its world-class surfing, bohemian energy, and exclusive, eco-luxury retreats. Whether you’re seeking a remote hideaway or an oceanfront compound with modern design, Santa Teresa villa rentals offer a private, upscale way to experience this surf mecca.

This once-sleepy fishing village has evolved into a global hotspot for digital nomads, surfers, celebrities, and wellness seekers. Tucked among jungle hills and along unspoiled beaches, you’ll find a curated selection of luxury villas in Santa Teresa, each designed to blend seamlessly with the natural surroundings. Think open-air living spaces, infinity pools, private chefs, and sweeping views of the Pacific.

Just south of town lies Mal País, a quiet, rustic community with a soulful charm and a slower pace. Mal País villas are perfect for travelers looking to reconnect with nature, offering close access to tide pools, surf breaks, and jungle trails. To the north, Playa Hermosa is a serene surf haven with wide beaches and breathtaking sunsets. Playa Hermosa vacation rentals offer luxury, privacy, and tranquility—ideal for yoga retreats, family vacations, or romantic escapes.
