Trip Advisor Reviews

Mal Pais is a Robinson Crusoe’s dream tucked away on the edge of the rainforest in the southern tip of the Nicoya Peninsula on the west coast of Costa Rica. There are long sweeping beaches with consistent surf and lush tropical rainforests that line the shoreline for miles. Small beach bars and restaurants dot the coastline and trickle into the rainforest offering excellent local hospitality. Mal Pais is by all accounts one of the hidden jewels of the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica…just like Nosara!

There is a reason Forbes Magazine has called the Mal Pais / Playa Santa Teresa stretch of coastline one of the top 10 most beautiful beaches in the world and you will feel and experience it once you take your first steps in the sand! This really is one of Costa Rica's best-kept secrets and one of the best beach escapes in the world. With packs of howler monkeys and a variety of other wildlife in the area you will know you’re a long way from home when you wake in the morning.

Mal Pais / Playa Santa Teresa has an international “flavor”. Surfers and non-surfers venturing to this area who were just passing through, have fallen in love with Santa Teresa and never left. In the last few years there has been an insurgence of yoga and wellness minded people and businesses that have built their presence in the area. All of these cosmopolitan newcomers add their spices and styles to the local flavor, so that now there is an amazing choice of international restaurants and the mixture of international and local vibe is one of a kind.
