Things to do in Santa Teresa range from surfing to snorkeling, birdwatching to hiking, scuba diving to yoga lessons, waterfall trips, and exploring neighboring islands.
Wake up and enjoy a fresh breakfast in our restaurant before practicing your surf skills on some of Santa Teresa’s most beautiful beaches. Spend your afternoon on land and trek to Cabuya and Montezuma’s most breathtaking natural waterfalls, or channel your inner to explorer with a trip to Tortuga Island. Back at Selina, unwind by the pool, sip on a refreshing craft beer, and socialize with an eclectic mix of travelers late into the night.
