A coastal lodge in Santa Teresa

House of Somos is a surf hotel a short walk from Playa Santa Teresa on the Nicoya Peninsula. It is built from concrete and locally sourced wood, set against tropical forest. Timber-lined rooms are dressed in Mexican rugs and quilts, and range from treehouse-style bungalows and king lofts to converted Airstream suites and surf-hostel dorms. Guests share the pool, the lounge, and an open-air restaurant built around an Airstream trailer.
