Find hotels in Carmen from $24

The best areas to stay in Carmen are Santa Teresa and Mal País, two distinct yet interconnected communities on the Nicoya Peninsula.

Santa Teresa is the more developed of the two, known for its long, sandy beaches like Playa Santa Teresa, which are popular for surfing. The main road, Route 624, runs parallel to the coast and is lined with a variety of restaurants, cafes, and boutiques. It offers a lively option with easy access to amenities and activities. This area is great for couples looking for a mix of relaxation and opportunities for dining and evening strolls.

Mal País, located just south of Santa Teresa, offers a more secluded experience. It's characterized by a rockier coastline, tide pools, and lush jungle bordering the beaches. The pace here is generally slower, with fewer commercial establishments. It's ideal for nature-focused travelers or couples seeking a tranquil retreat, with properties often located into the hillside offering ocean views and a sense of privacy.
