About the Hotel

The distinct pleasure of a regenerative travel experience awaits at Nantipa, where sustainable luxury is a way of life with its excellence endorsed as part of Small Luxury Hotels of the World and a Virtuoso, Signature and Select member. Just one step away from the Pacific Ocean in the heart of coastal paradise Santa Teresa, known for its excellent surfing and wild palm-tree-lined beaches, a Tico Beach experience awaits guests with a preference for smaller, independently managed hotels with personalised service. Nantipa was established to redefine the concept of Costa Rica luxury, using local talent in all phases of its design and always with sustainability in mind. As one of only five designated UNESCO Blue Zones in the world, Nicoya peninsula reflects with pride the healthy lifestyle and surroundings that enhance longevity in this small piece of paradise.

Dining in the thatched beachfront restaurant Manzú is a relaxed affair of international and authentic Tico recipes that feature grilled lobster, fresh seabass and tuna. Chef Pedro Cajas showcases the best of Costa Rican flavours in his Pura Vida Tasting Menu with temptations such as ceviche made with fresh catch-of-the-day and fragrant coconut seafood soup, while exquisite signature cocktails are mixed using local ingredients of passion fruit, tamarind and watermelon. An intimate private beach dinner under the stars is a perfect gesture for romance. A different kind of wellness experience awaits at Numu Wellness to help rediscover inner strength and resilience in a glorious beach setting. Both Nantipa and Numu are available for personalised wellness retreats. Once regenerated, there are a great variety of experience packages to discover the surrounding natural beauty of Costa Rica’s beaches, rivers, mountains and forests on horseback or hiking in the national parks.
