Nicoya Peninsula · Sleeps 12

A private hilltop estate above the Pacific

Tanit Villa is Santa Teresa's premier large-group retreat — five air-conditioned suites, an 18-metre saltwater pool, and 700 m² of refined living, wrapped in over a hectare of tropical gardens.

The retreat

One of the few homes in Santa Teresa built for twelve

Finding a single villa that comfortably sleeps a group of twelve on the Nicoya Peninsula is genuinely rare. Tanit was designed for exactly this — celebrations, family reunions, surf crews and corporate retreats that want one address, not three.

Set on a 3.7-acre estate ten minutes from the beach, the villa pairs barefoot Costa Rican living with the service of a private resort. Hosts JC and Vincent and their team look after every detail — including daily housekeeping that keeps the house hotel-fresh — alongside concierge service and round-the-clock security with every stay.

Reunions, retreats & celebrations that need real space

When the whole party stays under one roof, the trip changes. No splitting across listings, no commuting between hotels — just shared mornings by the pool and long dinners under the trees.

From milestone birthdays and intimate weddings to founder offsites and surf retreats, our team helps coordinate private chefs, transfers, yoga instructors and excursions so you arrive to a plan, not a to-do list.
