ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTS
Everything is deliberate here. The deep overhangs guard against the strong afternoon sun and/or showers. Views are towards the ocean or the mountains. Local iconic elements are interspersed throughout the development to enforce a sense of place.

There is a very distinctive, deliberate color scheme here. Hues drawn from nature – the sky, the sea, the sand – are everywhere. Bold punches of color accentuate the neutrals and create a harmony with the surroundings. The "harmony" created by the colors above invokes a sense of calm and serenity. The darker hues ground the palette by creating a strong foundation. The lighter ones emit a warm energy.
A tropically elegant oasis inspired by a palette of people and places, the Santarena Hotel is a bohemian pearl perched between two of Costa Rica’s loveliest Pacific beaches. Cosmopolitan minds and curious spirits naturally gather here, gracefully connecting and epitomizing “pura vida” – a life where people and their wellness are top priorities and where nature is cared for and enjoyed by all.
