Nantipa - A Tico Beach Experience, Puntarenas, Costa Rica

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.
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.

Nantipa offers 21 guest bungalows, villas, and suites scattered in a 2.3 hectare (5.7 acres) property with 155 meters of unique beachfront glory. Surrounded by carefully landscaped flora to preserve privacy, every unit is equipped with climate controls, flat SMART TVs with cable, with streaming capabilities (NETFLIX and YouTube ready), working desk, small dining table and chairs, hammocks, Wi-Fi and a minibar.

Nantipa’s Restaurant (Manzú) is located on the beach, with direct views of the ocean and sunset. The main dining area features 15 tables that easily accommodate 50 guests, in a very cozy, inviting and relaxed ambiance.
