Facilities

Imagine the innate potential you have when you are one with yourself and nature. The aim of the hosts, Lucho and Martin, is to enable their guests to experience something different from a traditional beach holiday or a trip across vast landscapes. Let yourself go during the whole journey: surfing, yoga, enjoying the fantastic beaches of Santa Teresa and the beautiful nature around while nurturing your body and consciousness through yoga and healthy eating. A brief experience may leave a significant trace in your life and, without noticing, the smallest detail changes your mind. Allowing you to Believe in yourself is what they strive for every day.

Surf

After finding breath on your mat, find your inspiration on the water. Connecting with the sea is a truly magical experience here in Santa Teresa. The clear waters and ideal surf conditions make for unforgettable sessions.

You will surf every morning at Playa Hermosa (about 10 minutes north of the lodge). This beach break is perfect for beginners as it boasts typically mild conditions to refine your pop-up. Intermediates will enjoy the long green waves to practice turning, and Advanced surfers will appreciate the channel and long open-faced waves in the line-up.

No matter your level, Believe Surf and Yoga have a local instructor who knows the water inside and out who will ensure you have an experience that not only challenges you physically but mentally and emotionally as well. Find greatness in yourself while connecting with one of nature's great forces.

Free Time

Use this time to explore the area. Santa Teresa is not only known for its surf, yoga, and beautiful beaches, it is a health-conscious foodie dream! The nearby Fishermans Village in Mal Pais is sure to inspire you with their daily catch of yellowfin tuna, red snapper, and mahi-mahi.

There are many activities to choose from, including ziplining, hiking in one of the national parks, horseback riding, snorkelling, and fishing. Your host will be happy to arrange any tour that interests you.

Your hosts will also arrange events and activities every day of the week including special party nights, nearby adventures, themed food nights, live music at nearby restaurants, as well as group dinners.

Not quite your speed? Find yourself relaxing and unwinding around the lodge's beautiful pool (that gets the perfect amount of shade during the day) or at the beach across the street.

On the west coast of the Nicoya Peninsula, a few hours south of bustling Tamarindo, lies the charming town of Santa Teresa. Nestled between the jungle and sea, a town of Tico’s and ex-pats have completely embraced the Pura Vida lifestyle and have made Santa Teresa a must-visit spot in Costa Rica.

Enjoy all that the rich biodiversity has to offer, including fishing, hiking, diving, snorkelling, and much more. A two-minute walk away from the lodge is a great beach for surfing, yoga, and gathering with your friends to watch the world-class sunsets.

All of this creates a lifestyle that makes the guests extend their stays and return time and time again.
