Hotel Nautilus

Hotel Nautilus now runs as Nautilus Surf & Yoga Villas, home to Believe Surf & Yoga. Its villas and cottages have full kitchens and terraces, about a 12-minute walk from the beach in Santa Teresa.

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.

Accommodations

  • Cottages: for couples, with a kitchen and terrace.
  • Villas: more room for families and friends, with a full kitchen and terrace.

Pool, yoga and surf

Believe Surf & Yoga runs surf lessons and yoga on the rooftop deck. Between sessions, cool off in the pool, and grab breakfast or lunch at Olam, the on-site café (it closes mid-afternoon).
