Text description provided by the architects. The Nantipa a Tico Beach Experience hotel is located in a beachfront property in the Pacific Beach of Santa Teresa – Puntarenas (Costa Rica). Nantipa stands for “blue” in the Indigenous Chorotegan language and was chosen as the main tribute to the tribe which inhabited the Nicoya Peninsula. The hotel’s main idea was to redefine the Costa Rican concept of “barefoot luxury”; by integrating sustainable practices, as well as native design strategies. The boutique hotel offers 11 beachfront bungalows (Ninta) and 24 family-style rooms (Nanku) spread over a 2.3-hectare property. The hotel will be developed in two phases: the first phase includes 7 Ninta bungalows and 8 Nanku rooms. Most of the rooms offer full or partial ocean views, as well as garden and pool views. The hotel includes conservation areas, ocean view swimming pool and beachfront restaurant.
