Nestled on the beautiful Playa Hermosa, Santa Teresa, our boutique eco surf retreat offers a warm community vibe while respecting your privacy. We take the guesswork out of planning your perfect Costa Rican adventure with two thoughtfully designed packages: the Ultimate Surf Retreat and the Custom Escape. Let’s explore which one is right for you:
