Modern Beachfront Surf Villa in Santa Teresa
Santa Teresa, Costa Rica
Luxury modern villa with a pool and stunning views with a surf break out front at Playa Santa Teresa.
This three-bedroom gem of a villa sits as close to the water as you can get in the charming surf town of Santa Teresa. Designed by acclaimed Costa Rican architect Benjamin Garcia Saxe, the home is a special blend of minimalist modern design, indoor/outdoor living spaces, and one of the best beachfront locales in Costa Rica.
With open airy spaces throughout, the villa features three spacious bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, a full kitchen with high-end appliances, and floor-to-ceiling glass doors that open up to the wide terrace that looks out over the sparkling pool, white sand beach, and Pacific Ocean.
The angled wood-paneled ceilings sit atop windows which creates abundant natural light and fuses the indoors with the surrounding lush greenery outside. A low bamboo fence lines the beach for privacy, while allowing uninterrupted views of the ocean and stunning sunsets.
Situated within walking distance to the action of Santa Teresa and with the beach and surf literally at your doorstep, this villa is the ultimate beachfront Costa Rican experience.

Inside
Three spacious and stylish bedrooms each have king beds, en-suite bathrooms, large picture windows, and are outfitted with high-quality bedding and bath linens. The house has 25 GB Wi-Fi throughout, air-conditioning, and ceiling fans.
Outside
The house was built three steps off the ground to fully take advantage of the location and enable direct views of the waves and beach break. With a large terrace, pool, and beach at your doorstep, this home offers barefoot living at its finest.
Eat & Drink
The villa has a fully equipped kitchen at your disposal, but you have lots of options if you prefer not to use it. We can arrange a talented private chef and you can easily walk to great restaurants, coffee shops, and a market.
The Surf
Santa Teresa and nearby Mal Pais (both located on the Nicoya Peninsula) have become one of Costa Rica’s most popular surf zones, boasting a wide variety of point breaks and beach breaks that are warm, fun, consistent, and user-friendly. Appropriate for surfers ranging from beginners to experts, the local waves tend to fire during the southern hemisphere season (from April through September), although they can also get swell during the winter “offseason.” The main beach break of Santa Teresa is the go-to spot in the area if you like punchy, hollow sandbars.

Location
Santa Teresa, Costa Rica
Santa Teresa is a small laidback surf town located on the Nicoya Peninsula on the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica. Once a small fishing village, over the past 15 years Santa Teresa has seen a surge in growth with surfers and travelers seeking surf, sun, and the pura vida way of life. Many of those visitors found all of the above and decided to stay.
This rise in expats from all over the world has led to an international feel to this charming surf village, and along with it an influx of fantastic restaurants and places to stay. While there has been significant development, there are no high-rises to speak of, and residents and visitors still gather on the beach every evening to hang out and collectively watch the epic sunsets.
With long beaches lined with great surf breaks, consistent swell, and year-round warm water, this spot is a quintessential surfer’s paradise.
