Hotel Nantipa

Step into a Costa Rican paradise at Hotel Nantipa, a boutique retreat that redefines barefoot luxury. Every element of the hotel is inspired by the ocean and sky—right down to its name, which means "blue" in the native Nicoya tribal language. From dawn to dusk you’ll have the sand between your toes and the sound of crashing waves in your ears. Whether you’re a novice or seasoned surfer, the conditions here are point break perfect. Of course, you could just swing gently in a hammock in your bungalow or beside the pool. But with the wildlife-rich jungle behind you and the ocean in front, you’ll be tempted to leave the grounds! And when you do, you can beach hop your way along the Nicoya Peninsula by foot, surfboard or horseback. Swap sandals for hiking boots to trek a national park or take a boat and escape to the talcum powder sands of Tortuga Island. The concierges at Nantipa will happily recommend and arrange all sorts of unforgettable adventures.
