We live here, we love it here,
and we want you to experience the Santa Teresa we know and love.
A little place with a lot of heart.
The Baya House was born from a love for Santa Teresa, a passion for hospitality, and the belief that the best places are the ones we get to share.
Santa Teresa has a special way of bringing people together from all walks of life. After moving here on her own and finding a sense of community through new friendships, our founder dreamed of creating a space that captured that same feeling. Somewhere to welcome her own friends and family, while giving travelers a place to connect, make memories, and feel at home.
An old space, a new chapter.
Purchased in 2025, the property already had a story of its own. Rather than building something new, we wanted to give a much-loved space a new chapter, honoring its past while reimagining its future.
With a whole lot of love, thoughtful renovations, and carefully collected pieces from around the world, The Baya House became what it is today — personal, lived-in, and made to be shared.
Rooted in Santa Teresa. 🇨🇷
Independently female-owned and locally operated, with an entirely Costa Rican team at its heart.
We work with local people and businesses who love this place as much as we do. Supporting the community that welcomed us will always be part of Baya's story.
Come as you are. Stay a little longer.
At its heart, Baya is about friendship, connection, and creating a place you'll want to return to, again and again.
Come hang out with us on Instagram and TikTok.
See you in the sunshine. 🌞
