The Best of Santa Teresa and Playa Hermosa, Costa Rica

The Batik Experience

Batik enjoys a privileged location that perfectly balances seclusion and accessibility. Just a 4 minute level walk through a lush jungle trail, guests are invited to connect with nature as they make their way to a secluded part of Playa Hermosa. This pristine, spacious beach is typically uncrowded and offers a haven for both surfers and families. While Batik feels like a tranquil escape, it’s close enough to Santa Teresa for a short drive to the vibrant town, yet far enough to provide the peace, privacy, and serenity that only Batik can offer.

Playa Hermosa retains a close-knit community, it is a stunning jungle-lined beach with expansive soft white sands and surf for all abilities, making it a haven for relaxation or outdoor adventure.
