A gorgeous little private paradise
in a convenient location within Santa Teresa. It’s close enough to walk to restaurants and the beach, but tucked away off the main road so it’s quiet. The little pool was perfect for an afternoon cooldown. Loved every bit of my stay there.

This was the perfect stay in Santa Teresa. The space was clean and really nice and we loved that it was partially indoor and partially outdoor with a nice pool to relax in. There were some bugs but that is expected of course in a place like this and you do your part in keeping them out. You can easily walk to several restaurants and the beach so you feel very close to everything but it was up a calmer street which felt nice. Sophia was also very helpful at every step of the way. Would stay here again!

Santa Teresa,
Costa Rica
Where jungle and ocean shape your days.
Some places have a rhythm of their own. Santa Teresa is one of them. Set on Costa Rica’s Nicoya Peninsula, this vibrant beach town is known for its long sandy beaches, golden sunsets, surf culture, wellness scene and relaxed international lifestyle.
Days here can be as relaxed or as active as you want them to be. Start with coffee or an early surf session, spend the day exploring beaches, taking a yoga class, riding along the coast by ATV, discovering local boutiques or enjoying Santa Teresa’s restaurants and cafés.
Botanika Suites is located right in the heart of Santa Teresa. Beaches, restaurants, cafés, shops and everyday essentials are all within easy reach, while the suites offer a calm and stylish retreat once you step back inside.
Our Concierge Service is happy to assist with recommendations, reservations and selected bookings, from surf lessons and yoga classes to massages, horseback riding, ATV adventures, restaurants and shopping tips.

Surf, surf and surf
Surfing is at the heart of Santa Teresa. The town is known for its consistent waves, long sandy beach breaks and relaxed surf atmosphere. Whether you are standing on a board for the first time or already have experience, Santa Teresa offers great conditions for different levels.
Beginners can take surf lessons with local instructors and learn in a safe, supportive setting. More experienced surfers can enjoy independent sessions, explore different breaks and plan their day around the tides and swell. Even if you do not surf yourself, watching the surfers at sunset is part of the Santa Teresa experience.
If you would like to take a lesson, improve your technique or find the right instructor for your level, our Concierge Service can help arrange surf lessons or private surf coaching.
relax
Yoga and Wellness
Santa Teresa has a strong wellness culture. Yoga classes, private sessions, massages, sound healing and holistic treatments are part of everyday life here. It is the kind of place where it feels natural to start the day with movement, take time for yourself and reconnect with a slower pace.
Whether you prefer a private yoga class, a group session nearby or a relaxing wellness treatment, we are happy to help organize the right experience for you.
Riding
Horseback Riding
Horseback riding is a beautiful way to experience the landscape around Santa Teresa. Depending on the tour, you can ride along the beach, through tropical surroundings or towards quieter corners of the area. It is especially memorable around sunset, when the light softens and the coastline feels even more peaceful.
Our team can assist with arranging horseback riding experiences with trusted local providers.
ACTION
Discover Beaches by ATV
One of the best ways to explore the area is by ATV. Santa Teresa and its surroundings are spread out along the coast, with different beaches, viewpoints and small villages to discover. An ATV gives you the freedom to visit nearby beaches, stop spontaneously and experience more than just the town center.
If you would like to explore the coastline this way, we can help organize ATV rentals or recommend a route based on your plans.
Food
Restaurants and Cafés
Santa Teresa has become known for its vibrant food scene. You will find relaxed breakfast spots, healthy bowls, specialty coffee, casual beach restaurants, stylish dinner places and international cuisine with a strong focus on fresh ingredients.
From slow mornings in a café to sunset drinks and special dinners, food is a big part of the Santa Teresa experience. Guests of Botanika Suites can receive our personal Restaurant Guide on request, with selected recommendations for breakfast, lunch, dinner, cafés and special evenings out.
We are also happy to assist with restaurant recommendations and reservations during your stay.
CITY
Shopping and Local Boutiques
Santa Teresa has a beautiful selection of small boutiques, concept stores and local brands. You can find beachwear, jewelry, handmade pieces, interior details, gifts and carefully curated lifestyle products. The shopping scene is small but stylish, with many places reflecting the relaxed and creative atmosphere of the town.
Guests can receive our personal Shopping Guide on request, featuring our favorite boutiques and selected addresses in Santa Teresa. We are also happy to point you in the right direction depending on what you are looking for.
Specials
Massages and Special Experiences
For quieter days, Santa Teresa offers many ways to unwind. A massage, a private wellness treatment, a beach walk or a slow afternoon by the pool can be just as much part of the experience as surfing or exploring.
If you are celebrating a special occasion or simply want to make your stay feel more personal, our Concierge Service can help arrange massages or thoughtful details for your suite.
About Us
Some places aren’t found. They find you.
The Story of Botanika Suites
For Christian and Sophia, everything began in 2019 on a small surf beach in Mexico. Both originally from Germany, they had spent extended time traveling and living across Mexico and other parts of Latin America. What connected them from the very beginning was a shared love for the ocean, for travel, and for a way of life that feels both simple and deeply meaningful.
What started as a chance encounter soon turned into a shared vision. They dreamed of creating a place of their own by the sea. A place that would be more than just a home. A place that would capture a feeling of freedom, connection to nature, and thoughtful design.
After the pandemic, they traveled to Costa Rica for the first time. From the moment they arrived in Santa Teresa, something felt different. The raw beauty, the energy, the rhythm of life between jungle and ocean made an immediate impression. It was clear that this was not just another destination. It was the place they had been looking for.
Not long after, they found their land. Surrounded by tropical greenery and just minutes from the beach, it became the foundation for what would later become Botanika Suites.
Together with local and close architect friends, they began to design and develop the project with great attention to detail. The vision was to create a space that feels modern yet warm, minimal yet inviting, and deeply connected to its natural surroundings.
A strong focus was placed on materials. High quality local teak wood plays a central role in shaping the atmosphere of the spaces, adding warmth, texture, and a sense of calm. Elements that were not available locally in the desired quality were carefully sourced and imported from Germany and the United States to ensure both durability and refined aesthetics.
Botanika Suites is more than a place to stay. It is the result of a personal journey, a shared vision, and a deep appreciation for a truly special place in the world.
A place that stayed with them. And one they are now proud to share.
