Zula Inn Bungalows

Zula Inn is part hotel, part apartment, and a two-minute walk from Playa Santa Teresa. Its nine self-contained bungalows have full kitchens and balconies over the garden and pool.

Who it suits

Couples, small families and friends who want a quiet, self-catering base close to the beach. It’s friendly and low-key rather than fancy.

Where it is

The inn is about 1 km north of the crossroads in Santa Teresa, set back from the main road so it stays quiet. The beach is only a two-minute walk away.

What the bungalows are like

The nine bungalows are simple, clean and self-contained, in a garden where flowers and big leafy plants spill over the paths. Each has a full kitchen, air conditioning, TV and a balcony over the garden and pool.

Accommodations

  • One-bedroom bungalow: a double bed and a single.
  • Two-bedroom bungalow: two doubles and a single, with two air-conditioning units.

Pool and downtime

Cool off in the pool, then settle into the rancho with its sofas, hammocks, TV and Wi-Fi. Hungry? The sister Zula restaurant serves Israeli and Costa Rican food, and guests get a discount.

Getting here

Santa Teresa is at the southern tip of the Nicoya Peninsula, a long way from either international airport. With an Anywhere private transfer, your driver meets you at arrivals with a name sign and brings you here in a modern air-conditioned van. Up to an hour of stops is included, so you can stock the kitchen on the way. For the ferry and driving routes, see getting to Malpaís.
