The feature starts by identifying “What You Want: The best yoga instructor on the beach.” It answers with: “Who You Need: Stefano Allegri at Florblanca in Costa Rica.” It then goes on to profile Stefano’s background – how he landed in Costa Rica from Italy and his study of yoga – as well as the experience of taking his yoga class and his glowing reputation in Santa Teresa, Costa Rica.

New York Times Sunday Travel
Florblanca is thrilled to have been a part of a New York Times Travel article profiling our home town, Santa Teresa, Costa Rica. Journalist Dave Seminara was a guest at Florblanca recently and he saw the opportunity to spotlight an important issue in our small town that is sure to reverberate with other off-the-beaten-path tourist destinations.
The article – In a Costa Rican Beach Town, the Road Less Paved – sheds light on the wear and tear of the increasingly busy dirt roads leading to and from Santa Teresa. The stress on these roads from traffic creates an extremely bumpy car ride and also generates a great deal of dust during the dry season and mud during the green season, making pedestrian traffic more challenging.
People in town have differing opinions about solutions for the roads and Mr. Seminara reveals the complexities of the issues for residents, business owners, expats, and travelers.

Among the highlights of our resort, the author mentions horseback riding, surfing and yoga.

Able to accommodate up to six guests, the Surf House is the perfect place to bring a group – and at only $400/night for two people ($50/night per additional guest), this is one vacation that won’t break the bank. See our Villas and Rates.
Travel + Leisure
Here’s what the popular vacation travel magazine Travel + Leisure has to say about Florblanca Resort in it’s article “Costa Rica’s Hottest new Hotels and Lodges.”
“It’s not often that you come across an Asian-inspired resort in Costa Rica-especially one located on Playa Santa Teresa’s best surf break. Here, it’s more about blissing out than riding the waves. There are only a few dozen guests at any time, and everything is designed to soothe-from the boulder-studded pool, where you’ll feel like you’re swimming in an aqueous Zen garden, to the bamboo spa bungalow, with its ponds and shoji screens. Each of Florblanca’s 11 villas is accented with organic fabrics and native hardwoods, and all have terraces outfitted with hammocks. (Book the Surf House, steps from the ocean.) After an evening yoga class on the beach, kick back with a tamarind mojito-or two-from the open-air Nectar bar.”
Frommers
Frommers listed Florblanca as one of the Best Luxury Hotels in Costa Rica. Here is what they say about our resort:
“The individual villas at this intimate resort are some of the largest and most luxurious in the country. The service and food are outstanding, and the location is breathtaking, spread over a lushly planted hillside steps away from Playa Santa Teresa.”
