Florblanca Hotel  

On Costa Rica’s Nicoya Peninsula in Santa Teresa (Cobano), this beachfront boutique resort sits steps from the surf and a short walk to Santa Teresa Beach, Cocal Beach, Hermosa Beach and the Grande Hermosa tidepool.

Privacy-first villas and 11 air-conditioned rooms are tucked into lush gardens with Pacific Ocean views. Rooms feature minibars and en-suite showers, while villas sit only steps from the water. The vibe is luxe and laid-back with open-air dining and a new Spa Bambu, plus a fitness center and yoga/Pilates studio.

Pamper with onsite massages and facials at the spa, lounge by the pool with a poolside bar, or sip at the bar/lounge. Concierge services, a gift shop/newsstand and limited-hours front desk keep things easy. Onsite self-parking is available.

Complimentary wireless internet throughout the property — reliable high-speed internet keeps you connected.

Nectar restaurant serves satisfying meals with open-air dining that fits the surf-side setting. Grab cocktails at the poolside bar or the lounge after a day on the beach.
