Top 10 Things to do Good for a Rainy Day in Santa Teresa, Province of Puntarenas
Surf’s always up in the Costa Rican beach town of Santa Teresa. Bright sun and gleaming sands make the perfect backdrop to hang ten in the crystal-clear waters, and fishing, snorkeling and kite-surfing are popular among vacationers. Yoga and spa services are a must for the ultimate relaxation, and, at night, catch a glorious sunset on the same beach where earlier you caught a wave.

If you are in need of a relaxing massage, deep body work or healing from a previous injury Julieta is the person to see. I've had hundreds of massages and worked with some talented healers over the years but Jule has a gift beyond that which words can describe. I went to see her after a surfing injury that almost sent me home. After two sessions I was able to get back in the water with 90% reduction in pain. I will be returning to Costa Rica soon and my first stop will be Julieta's massage table.

After spending a little over a week in Santa Teresa, I decided to go for a massage. Silvia was by far the highest rated and now I know why! Easy to book, she gave me one of the best massages of my life. I wasn’t sure where I was when it was over I was so relaxed. I liked it so much I booked her again! If you want a massage in town, shes’s the only one to see!
9. Horizon Yoga Center & Tea House

Spent 2 months at Horizon with my husband and twin 12 year old boys. Was a great stay for all of us. Villas are well equipped and comfortable— with thoughtful luxurious touches. And really fast cleaning and food service. The property is gorgeous, with amazing views. The location is ideal. 5 minutes from a gorgeous beach, great food — sushi, Thai, Italian, and cool boutiques. But the food at the hotel’s Tea Room is the best in Santa Teresa. So fresh and delicious. In a town of great food it stands out. I arrived at Horizon as a stressed out New Yorker hoping to work remotely and chill out. Horizon is the perfect place to do both. Amazing yoga and Pilates and massages. Really amazing. And Gali and Yoav (owners) are totally plugged in to Santa Teresa and can facilitate whatever you need— excursions, restaurant recommendations, local surf and skateboard lessons, vets, doctors, etc. They are fantastic. Best of all my boys’ got off their computers and into the surf, the waterfalls, nature! Highly highly recommend.

After getting a great deep tissue massage last year, I booked another one with Maryam this weekend. It was very relaxing and my oversurfed muscles received the detailed attention that they were begging for. Will surely come back next time I'm in town. Thank you Maryam!
