Fermata Hotel was designed with a goal in mind: to create a space that feels effortless, natural, and connected to Santa Teresa.
From the moment you step onto the property, the attention to detail is clear. Every material, texture, and finish was chosen to reflect the town’s relaxed, barefoot lifestyle while offering comfort and style.
Barefoot Comfort and Natural Materials
Throughout Fermata, you’re encouraged to kick off your shoes. Brick, sand, or grass beneath your feet anchor you to the natural surroundings. Natural fibers like rattan, cotton, linen, and teak are used throughout the property, creating a tactile, inviting environment. Brick is a defining feature at Fermata, used both inside and out. The brickwork grounds the property without overwhelming it, pairing beautifully with light finishes and neutral tones.
Open, Airy Spaces
Large windows, open layouts, and shaded terraces create a sense of flow between indoor and outdoor spaces. Fans in every room and open-air common areas ensure comfort even on the sunniest days. The entire property is designed for lingering, whether you’re enjoying a quiet moment on your terrace or gathering in the Surf House for coffee and conversation. Soft, neutral colors and textures keep spaces calm, while warm lighting and tall ceilings make each room feel open and breezy.
Seven Accommodation Options
Fermata offers seven distinct accommodation options, from a simple king room to a two-bedroom villa. Every room includes cozy nooks for lounging or reading: daybeds, cushioned benches, or window seats invite you to settle in. Shelves are thoughtfully curated with books, ceramics, and plants, adding layers of personality and a lived-in warmth. Light color palettes and ample windows ensure every room feels open yet intimate, balancing simplicity with subtle luxury.
A Place for Connection and Relaxation
The Surf House embodies Fermata’s design ethos: relaxed, social, and tied to its environment. The transition from brick to sandy flooring creates a tactile, relaxed environment, while open-air seating, natural finishes, and thoughtful lighting make the space feel welcoming. The thatch palapa roof and sandy floor remind you that the best design comes straight from nature.
