(Travel + Leisure) – Beach Break — THIS 35-ROOM HOTEL, which opened in December in the laid-back town of Santa Teresa, is one of the few waterfront resorts at the southern end of the Nicoya Peninsula. The property’s surf school is the main draw—Fermata fronts the region’s most iconic break, La Lora. Lessons are open to all skill levels and can include an in-water professional photo session. The resort’s premier suite is a two-bedroom villa with a separate terrace and beach access. Its members-only beach club is open to locals, who come to share the waves. The central location encourages guests to explore Santa Teresa’s restaurants and shops, like Dkoko, a go-to boutique for sporty bathing suits, and Ani’s, a breakfast and lunch spot serving nourishing salads and pressed juices.
