Who it suits
Surfers and yogis who want lessons and classes on the doorstep, plus couples and families who like the space and kitchen of a villa.
Where it is
Nautilus is in Santa Teresa, about a 12-minute walk from the beach. Bikes are available to rent if you’d rather ride.
What the rooms are like
Think warm hardwoods, calm rooms and softly lit gravel paths: simple, but polished. The villas and cottages each have a fully equipped kitchen and a private terrace for sunset drinks, with one- and two-bedroom options.
