Casa Teresa Luxury Villa has everything to satiate your vacation needs and then some. We’ve put together a carefully curated 7-day Costa Rica itinerary that blends relaxation, adventure, and cultural immersion to ensure your stay covers all the bases you could dream of.

Day 1: Arrival & Relaxation

Travel can take it out of you, and getting to Santa Teresa can be an event in and of itself, which is why it’s so important to include relaxation as part of your travel planning. When you choose Casa Teresa’s Costa Rica villa rentals, luxury begins as soon as you step foot off the plane. 

Upon landing in Costa Rica, enjoy a seamless private transfer arranged by our concierge to take you directly to your villa in Santa Teresa, whether you’ve booked Casa Teresa or Casa Teresa Grande, or both. We’ve got you totally covered on the subject of what to do in Costa Rica for a week. Unpack your bags and take in the lush atmosphere of your new home away from home. Maybe you’ll enjoy a refreshing dip in your private plunge pool or a short walk to the pristine beach. By evening, you’ll be ready to indulge in a gourmet dinner prepared by a private chef who will introduce you to local flavors that will blow your mind.

Day 2: Yoga & Local Sightseeing

Start your day with a beachfront yoga session led by one of our highly informed instructors. Breathe deeply and stretch the travel pains out as you take in the sounds of the ocean and nearby wildlife. Enjoy an energizing breakfast and local coffee before you venture into the charming heart of Santa Teresa to explore eclectic boutiques and artisan shops, offering endless handcrafted goods that you can only find here. For lunch, you can check out the diverse culinary scene in Santa Teresa. Here you’ll find many options for locally-sourced dishes, ranging from light to filling. Casa Teresa’s culinary options have something to offer everyone; simply let us know if you’d like to book a private chef to try local-inspired fare from the comfort of the villas. In the afternoon, return home and enjoy a next-level siesta, take part in a soothing meditation session, or refresh with a swim in the gorgeous pool.

Day 3: Catamaran Excursion to Isla Tortuga or Playa Tambor

By your third day of this thoughtful, 7-day Costa Rica Itinerary, you’ll be ready for adventure and to get your sea legs in shape. Set sail on a catamaran journey to the idyllic Isla Tortuga, known for its white-sand beaches and clear water. This day trip includes countless opportunities for beach activities, such as snorkeling with wild marine life, swimming, beach-lounging, and enjoying a delectable lunch. The catamaran’s proximity to Santa Teresa ensures a comfy and scenic voyage, making for a perfect full day of adventure, with your comfortable bed not far away when you feel it calling to you.

Consider alternatively or additionally visiting Playa Tambor. Here, you’ll have the option to moor your own yacht or take off on many options for boat tours in the region.

Day 4: Surfing and Sunset Horseback Riding

Staying in Santa Teresa, you’d be hard pressed to leave without developing a surfing bug. When the question of what to do in Costa Rica for a week is raised, an emphatic, surfing! Will follow. 

Embrace the culture and take a morning surf lesson on waves suitable for first-timers and seasoned surfers alike. After catching a few waves, refuel with a hearty brunch at one of the town’s charming restaurants. 

In the late afternoon, embark on a guided horseback ride along the beach, timed to witness the breathtaking, show-stopping sunset the Pacific offers for a most magical experience.

Day 5: Day Trip to Montezuma Waterfalls

For your fifth day, why not visit the quaint bohemian village of Montezuma, about a 45-minute drive from your luxury home in Costa Rica.

Once in Montezuma, put on your hiking boots and make your way to the famed waterfalls where you can swim beneath cascading waters and indulge in the lush, tropical surroundings. After your adventure, head back to the town and check out the vibrant local art scene with more one-of-a-kind treasures to take back to your friends and family (and you, of course). Have a bite to eat in town at one of the restaurants before traveling back to Santa Teresa for well-deserved rest.

Day 6: Wellness & Spa Day

Wind down on day 6 and dedicate today to rejuvenation and self-care within the peaceful confines of Casa Teresa. Begin with a gentle, yin-style yoga session followed by spa treatment personalized to your specific needs and goals. Our spa is staffed by professionals who offer no shortage of services, including deep tissue massages and revitalizing facials. Spend your afternoon by the pool with a great book while you indulge in healthy gourmet meals. Consider a guided meditation to achieve harmony in body and mind.

Day 7: Cabo Blanco Nature Reserve

It is sadly the last day on the 7-day Costa Rica itinerary, but this doesn’t mean you can’t make the most of it here at Santa Teresa. We encourage you to enjoy your vacation til the very last drop. One suggestion is to spend your morning visiting the Cabo Blanco Nature Reserve today. 

As Costa Rica’s oldest nature reserve located, Cabo Blanco Nature Reserve offers well-marked trails through breathtaking and diverse ecosystems. Be ready to see some wildlife and Instagram-worthy landscapes. Located at the southern tip of the Nicoya Peninsula, Cabo Blanco is an ideal half-day trip to take before returning to Casa Teresa to prepare for your departure.

Throughout your stay, Casa Teresa’s informed concierge is at your service to arrange personalized experiences, so do not hesitate to inquire about any activity that you want to add to your stay. At Casa Teresa, our goal for you is to have the vacation of your dreams, whether you’re seeking adventure, relaxation, cultural immersion, or a perfect balance of all of the above. This 7-day itinerary will help you cover these bases to ensure a memorable Costa Rican getaway, though we can create custom-made itinerary suggestions for what to do in Costa Rica for a week, based on your preferences and travel goals.
