Costa Rica is a dream destination for nature, adventure, and relaxation, but did you know it’s also the perfect place for a luxury family vacation? At Nantipa – A Tico Beach Experience, families can enjoy a unique blend of barefoot luxury, authentic experiences, and activities designed for guests of all ages. If you’re searching for a family friendly hotel that keeps both kids and parents happy, Nantipa delivers an unforgettable beach escape.
Located in Santa Teresa, on Costa Rica’s Blue Zone Nicoya Peninsula, Nantipa combines the comfort of a luxury family resort with the freedom to explore, learn, and connect with nature as a family. From beach days to educational adventures, every moment here is designed to inspire.
Why Nantipa is perfect for families traveling to Santa Teresa with kids:
Family Surf Lessons Santa Teresa is known for its year-round waves, and learning to surf together is one of the most fun and rewarding family activities. Our expert surf instructors offer classes for all levels, so both parents and kids can catch their first waves in a safe, exciting environment.
Tide Pools at Low Tide Nature creates the perfect playground right in front of the Nantipa Beachfront Villas. During low tide, shallow tide pools form along the beach, ideal for little explorers to safely discover marine life and cool off in crystal-clear water.
Learning Through Nature At Nantipa, we believe the best learning happens outdoors. Through “learning to read nature” families can deepen their understanding of local ecosystems, wildlife, and sustainability. It’s an interactive, educational experience that turns every walk on the beach, every forest trail, and every wildlife encounter into a hands-on classroom.
Wildlife Exploration Santa Teresa with kids is even more exciting when you explore beyond the hotel. Nearby, families can visit Cabo Blanco Nature Reserve or Curu Wildlife Refuge, where spotting monkeys, tropical birds, and other animals in their natural habitat is always a highlight.Farm Tours and Local Traditions Get a real taste of Costa Rica with a local farm tour. Kids love the chance to milk cows, learn how to make cheese, and understand the full process from farm to table. It’s a fun, educational experience that connects families with the region’s rural traditions.
Family Fishing or Adventure Tours For families craving more adventure, options abound. You can head out on a fishing trip, explore hidden beaches by boat, or get your adrenaline pumping with a family-friendly canopy tour in the nearby jungle.
A Luxury Beach Escape for Everyone Nantipa for families means comfort, space, and freedom. Our Nanku suites offer plenty of room for everyone and easy beach access. For larger families, our three bedroom beachfront villas are the perfect way to spoil the family and keep everyone together. Parents can unwind while kids play, and shared experiences turn into lifelong memories.
Sustainability in Action: Join Our Beach Clean-Up
Teaching kids to care for the places they love is part of the Nantipa experience. We’ve set up a beach clean-up station right in front of Manzú where you can pick up a bag and gloves, collect trash from the shore, and swap your effort for a smoothie. Little ones love “treasure hunting” for microplastics, and older kids can help weigh and log what’s collected—turning it into a fun eco-challenge and a powerful lesson in ocean stewardship
Family Yoga Every Morning
Start the day in sync with nature with our family yoga classes each morning in the Yoga shala. It’s a gentle, fun way to exercise, boost kids’ focus and flexibility, and bring the whole family together through a shared routine. Our instructors offer age- and level-appropriate modifications, so beginners and seasoned yogis feel at ease. Mats and props are provided, just bring water and a smile.
Whether you’re traveling with toddlers, teens, or multigenerational groups, Nantipa offers the perfect balance of relaxation, exploration, and luxury for your next Costa Rican getaway.
Looking for the ultimate kids activities in Costa Rica? You’ll find them here, where barefoot luxury meets authentic family adventure.
If you’re dreaming of Christmas in Costa Rica or ringing in the New Year in Santa Teresa, there’s one key thing to know: the festive season is the most in-demand time of the year and it sells out fast.

To secure your preferred dates and room category, the best time to book is by January or February of the same year.

Barefoot vs. Traditional Luxury: Where to Stay on the Beach in Costa Rica
Planning the perfect Costa Rica vacation often means exploring more than one destination. Many travelers start inland, perhaps in the Arenal Volcano region or the cloud forests, before heading to the coast for a few relaxing days by the ocean. But with so many beautiful beaches to choose from, how do you decide where to stay?
One key question: Do you prefer traditional luxury or barefoot luxury?
What Is Traditional Luxury?
Costa Rica is home to several high-end resorts, many of them part of global brands, especially in the northwestern province of Guanacaste. Along the stretch from Tamarindo to the Papagayo Peninsula, you’ll find large resorts with golf courses, marinas, and multiple dining options.
These resorts are designed for comfort and convenience. Guests often stay on property for most of their visit, only leaving for curated excursions or spa treatments. It’s a classic luxury experience: polished, predictable, and relaxing.
What Is Barefoot Luxury?
Beyond Guanacaste, Costa Rica’s coastline offers a very different experience. Independent boutique hotels are the norm, often much smaller and deeply connected to their natural surroundings. Some are tucked away in quiet, remote areas, while others are steps from surf towns known for great food, wellness, and a laid-back vibe.
Santa Teresa, located on the Nicoya Peninsula, is one of Costa Rica’s most iconic barefoot luxury destination sand for good reason. The Nicoya Peninsula is recognized as one of the world’s five Blue Zones, regions where people live significantly longer and healthier lives. Many attribute this longevity to a strong connection with nature, fresh local food, daily physical activity, and a lifestyle centered around community and well-being.
Nantipa A Tico Beach Experience in Santa Teresa is one of the best examples of barefoot luxury. With just 29 rooms and 150 meters of beach frontage, Nantipa offers a blend of costarican authenticity, sustainability, and comfort. Guests can walk to restaurants, shops, and yoga studios while enjoying high-end accommodations, gourmet dining at Manzú, and wellness treatments at the Numu Spa. All this within the unique cultural setting of a Blue Zone, where health, happiness, and simplicity are part of daily life.
So, Which Beach Stay Is Right for You?
If you love staying in a resort where everything is taken care of and you rarely need to leave, traditional luxury in Papagayo might be perfect.
But if you’re looking for a more immersive, authentic, and sustainable experience with the same level of comfort, Nantipa and Costa Rica’s barefoot luxury properties, especially those within the Nicoya Peninsula Blue Zone might be calling your name.
There’s no wrong choice, just the right one for your style of travel.

This month we celebrated our semi-annual advisor FAM trip, with participation of 11 outstanding advisors from the United States, Spain and Canada. After a careful application and selection process these advisors were invited to participate based on their expertise in selling Costa Rica along with their passion for sustainability and the destination.
The core FAM was five nights, spending the first day in San Jose, sleeping at the Hotel Presidente. Here advisors had the opportunity to explore the city and enjoy a welcome dinner at the rooftop restaurant. Next stop was Tabacon Thermal Resort & Spa for 2 nights, where participants enjoyed the thermal springs, the spa, and had the opportunity to either experience the Pure Trek Canyoning tour, or the Mistico Hanging Bridges guided hike. Last stop was two nights in Senda in Monteverde, to explore the Cloud Forest and the activities in the region. Everyone had the opportunity to include either a pre or a post two night visit to Nantipa in Santa Teresa, to explore the beach, the region and the horseback riding tour.
A Wallace Pierson advisor commented that “’What a wonderful, enriching delight Costa Rica was! Each day brought a new adventure of horseback riding, ziplining, and hiking in Mistico Hanging Bridges Park, near the Arenal Volcano. Tabacon Thermal Springs Resort was so relaxing and I really enjoyed the Thermal Springs. The Stunning sunsets, and wonderful food at Nantipa Resort were not to be missed! I can’t wait to return to Costa Rica, Pura Vida!”

Senda Monteverde was small an intimate. Great food. Great staff.
I felt that the hotels certainly fit the country’s sustainability strategies. All in all an amazing experience and I am grateful to have had the experience”
“I arrived home safely and wanted to express my immense gratitude to each of you for the incredible opportunity to join the Costa Rica trip last week. Thank you for warmly introducing me to the Pura Vida lifestyle! The honeymoon suite was a delightful surprise, and I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Tabacon. I’m excited about referring clients to you and planning my own return trip as soon as possible. From the accommodations, spa, and hot springs to the dining, drinks, and, most importantly, the exceptional staff and hospitality, please accept my heartfelt thanks for your hospitality. Meeting each of you was a blessing, and I eagerly anticipate future connections at other events. If you ever find yourself in Dallas, please let me know so I can show you around Texas! Once again, it was truly my pleasure to spend time with you, and I simply wanted to convey my deep appreciation to each of you!” wrote a Pickles Vacations advisor.

Here are essentials for a sustainable trip to Costa Rica, ensuring you’re prepared for adventure while contributing positively to the preservation of this unique destination.

The heart of Costa Rica’s charm lies not only in its stunning landscapes but also in its vibrant communities and rich cultural heritage. Supporting local economies is a powerful way to contribute to sustainable development and enrich your travel experience. By choosing to spend your money on local businesses, eateries, and artisans, you’re investing in the community’s growth and sustainability.

Simple, mindful actions can significantly reduce your ecological footprint, supporting Costa Rica’s efforts to remain a verdant and thriving paradise.
