Cradled by the azure waters of the Pacific Ocean, it’s easy to see why Nantipa’s creators chose the local Chorotegan word for blue as the name of their resort. Dreamed up as an antidote to the impersonal, oversized developments that were dominating Costa Rica’s coastal scene, three friends combined their years of hotel experience with one of the country’s most beautiful locations on a mission to build something truly unique.
The result is an intimate beachfront getaway that feels truly embedded in the landscape, where you can enjoy barefoot luxury in an authentically Costa Rican environment. Nestled amid the swaying palm trees, Nantipa’s selection of suites, villas and bungalows are peaceful refuges where waves breaking on the nearby shore provide a soothing round-the-clock soundtrack. Sleeping up to four, the resort’s Nanku suites are comfortable, contemporary hideaways with roomy, hammock-strung terraces and balconies. The romantic two-person Ninta bungalows add in extra touches like private plunge pools while the expansive beachfront villas are perfect for families and larger groups.
