Nantipa, meaning Blue in the native Chorotega tongue, celebrates the region’s Blue Zone status awarded by National Geographic that identifies the Nicoya Peninsula as home to a population that lives healthier and longer lives than other world regions. The clean and contemporary hotel spans 155 meters of prime beachfront paradise in the heart of Santa Teresa’s vibrant surf community. Inspired by the indigenous Chorotega people, Nantipa embraces an authentic Costa Rican experience within its spacious bungalows and suites that embrace the natural surroundings, a beachfront swimming pool and lounge area, and the traditional cuisine served at the open-air Nantipa Restaurant.
