We have exciting news to share — Sendero now has a sister property. Fermata Hotel has officially opened its doors in Santa Teresa, Costa Rica, giving you one more reason to explore this incredible country. While Nosara has its own magic, Santa Teresa is another gem on the Nicoya Peninsula, and visiting both makes for the ultimate Costa Rican vacation, combining adventure, relaxation, and a chance to truly unplug and recharge. Take a look here.
Meet Fermata Hotel:
Fermata Hotel is a boutique hideaway in the heart of Santa Teresa, a beach town known for its stunning coastline, world-class surf, and laid-back yet buzzing atmosphere. Our new hotel sits beachfront at the famous La Lora break of Santa Teresa beach. Designed for travelers who want both comfort and connection, Fermata blends modern, minimalist design with warm hospitality. It’s the perfect place to recharge after a day in the waves or wandering the town’s sandy streets.
Why Visit Santa Teresa?
Santa Teresa is a vibrant surf town that perfectly balances energy and relaxation. With miles of golden beaches, lush surroundings, and a lively yet welcoming community, it’s a place that invites exploration and ease.
There are plenty of reasons to visit, but here are a few of our favorites:
– Surf Santa Teresa’s iconic breaks – Consistent waves for all levels, with Playa Carmen, Playa Hermosa, and Playa Santa Teresa offering different vibes and conditions.
– Enjoy incredible food – From fresh ceviche on the beach to gourmet dinners, Santa Teresa’s food scene rivals that of much bigger cities.
– Explore nature – Take a yoga class by the sea, ride horses at sunset, or head to Cabo Blanco Nature Reserve for hiking and wildlife spotting.
– Catch epic sunsets – The wide beaches and glowing skies make sunset-watching practically a sport.
Why Start (or End) in Nosara?
Nosara’s charm comes from its mix of untouched nature, wellness culture, and strong community feel. At Sendero, you’re steps from Playa Guiones and surrounded by jungle, with howler monkeys as your morning alarm clock. Surf, yoga, healthy dining, and miles of unspoiled coastline — Nosara is the slower, soul-soothing counterpart to Santa Teresa’s energy.
Do Both on One Trip
The great news? Nosara and Santa Teresa are just a ferry ride and a short drive apart. You can start your trip in Nosara for a few days of grounding and jungle living, then head to Santa Teresa for a dose of surf-town buzz — or reverse it if you like to end your trip on a calmer note.
Stay at Sendero in Nosara, then hop over to Fermata in Santa Teresa. Two destinations, two unique vibes, and one unforgettable Costa Rican vacation.
