Pranamar Villas & Yoga Retreat

“The best place to stay in Santa Teresa”

Simply a wonderful family operated boutique hotel that is 100% focused on the well being of its customers and the community in santa teresa. The cafe has excellent healthy satisfying meals - with many of the herbs and veggies grown on site.

“Yoga central and a haven from the traffic of Santa Teresa.”

Nice relaxed place, up a hill from the hectic (too much traffic) Santa Teresa main road. We did yoga every day and it was excellent. Also a nice small daytime restaurant with nice views.

Hotel Horizon Yoga Retreat is an absolute gem in Santa Teresa, Costa Rica. A beautifully landscaped retreat perched on the hillside across from the beach, it offers the most breathtaking ocean views every single morning. Waking up, drinking my coffee, and reading my book in the hammock on our porch while overlooking the ocean was pure bliss. The location is perfect. Hotel Horizon is within easy walking distance to so many great restaurants and Super Ronny (in our opinion, the best supermarket in town). And of course, the beach is just across the street, with a convenient access path at the bottom of the hill. That hill the hotel sits on? Consider it a built-in workout—a great way to build your calves and glutes on the walk back up to your room and the perfect excuse to walk off some of the amazing dinners we enjoyed. The breakfast here is hands down the best in town. Everything is thoughtfully crafted using organic ingredients—many of which the owners grow themselves. The shakshuka was our absolute favorite. I’ve had the famous Dr. Shakshuka in Israel, and I can confidently say Horizon’s is even better. They also offer fantastic gluten-free options, like the gluten-free pancakes with Nutella and sliced bananas (a must!), plus incredible smoothies. I could never choose just one, so I’d order a “whatever” shake—and it was delicious every single time. I also appreciated the dairy-free options like oat milk and almond milk. If you’re gluten- or dairy-free, they will absolutely accommodate you. After full days walking the beach, exploring town, and enjoying incredible dinners and drinks, we always came back to the most comfortable beds. I loved the thoughtful touch of providing both a squishy pillow and a firm pillow. The rooms also have fans and A/C units, which were perfect for cooling off after warm tropical days. Our cabins (4 and 5) were connected by a shared kitchen, which was incredibly convenient for leftovers, making coffee or tea, and anything else we needed. The kitchen is fully stocked, and the mini fridge made it easy to store food and drinks. The cabin location was ideal—perfectly situated between the pool/tea house and the parking lot, which is guarded at night. We felt very safe. Each room also includes a safe for passports and valuables, which was greatly appreciated. The staff were incredibly attentive and helpful throughout our stay. You can truly tell how much they care about Hotel Horizon and the family who runs it—every interaction felt genuine and thoughtful, adding to the warm, welcoming atmosphere. I also enjoyed morning yoga and a morning sound bath. I don’t normally practice yoga, but this was a wonderful flow with great stretching and core work. The instructor and owner, Yoav, has the most calming and grounding voice, guiding you through each movement. Opening your eyes to unobstructed ocean views during practice is truly special. The sound bath—one of their newer offerings—was incredibly relaxing and set a very high standard for any future sound baths I experience. My family and I were absolutely spoiled by the owners, Gali and Yoav. They are warm, kind, and genuinely make you feel at home. If you’re visiting Santa Teresa and looking for a place to stay, look no further—Hotel Horizon is the best choice. And don’t miss the sunset massages. They were some of the best I’ve ever had, performed by highly skilled therapists who truly know their craft. Hotel Horizon isn’t just a place to stay—it’s an experience. ✨
