Best Coworking Spaces in Santa Teresa

Santa Teresa's coworking scene has grown up fast. A few years ago your options were a café table and a prayer to the WiFi gods. Now there are dedicated spaces with 200 Mbps symmetric connections, air conditioning, and communities of professionals who actually want to work before they paddle out. Here is what is worth your money, what is not, and how to pick the right setup for the way you work.

Why Coworking Matters More Here Than Most Places

The internet situation in Santa Teresa is better than it was but still uneven. Residential connections can drop during rainy season storms, and many hotels and Airbnbs that claim "fast WiFi" are running on something that will choke the moment you start a Zoom call. A dedicated coworking space with backup connectivity is not a luxury here, it is insurance. Read our full breakdown of internet and WiFi reality in Santa Teresa before you commit to any accommodation-based work setup.

Also worth knowing: the cost of living for a comfortable nomad lifestyle runs roughly 2,000-3,000 USD per month including accommodation, food, transport, and coworking. A monthly coworking pass is one of the smarter line items in that budget.

The Dedicated Coworking Spaces

Sundays Cowork

This is currently the sharpest purpose-built option in town. Sundays sits 150 meters from the beach, runs 200 Mbps symmetric internet (confirmed as of 2026), and has 20 hot desks, a meeting room, and a phone booth for calls. Three AC units keep the space genuinely cool, which matters more than you think when it is 33 degrees outside. Free water, coffee, tea, and fruit are included. They sell day passes, weekly passes, and monthly memberships via their website or walk-in.

What makes Sundays stand out beyond the specs is the programming. They run after-hours events, networking sessions, sustainability talks, and community brunches. If you want to meet other people who are actually building something, this is the room to be in. Prices shift, so confirm locally, but day passes have been in the 15-25 USD range and monthly memberships in the 150-250 USD range as of mid-2026 per coworker.com.

Surf and Jungle Cowork

Located about 300 meters east of Super Ronny (near Casa MarBella reception), Surf and Jungle is the quieter, more heads-down option. No hostel energy, no drop-in tourists wandering through. The space is air-conditioned, has ergonomic seating, high-speed WiFi with backup connectivity, and is set in a jungle-adjacent environment that genuinely reduces distraction.

This is the place for people who need deep focus. Think developers on deadline, writers, designers, anyone who needs four uninterrupted hours and not a networking happy hour. Day passes, weekly, and monthly memberships are available. Contact them at 8465-7359 to confirm current pricing before you show up, as rates are not publicly listed per cowork506.com.

Outsite Santa Teresa Playa

Outsite is the premium coliving-plus-coworking option. The property has a pool, natural wood finishes, a communal kitchen, and an open-air coworking area with 200 Mbps WiFi. The community manager (as of 2026, an Argentine woman named Josefina who surfs and actually knows the town) runs weekly activities and makes introductions.

The honest caveat: Outsite is more expensive than the standalone coworking spaces, and you are partly paying for the lifestyle packaging. If you are staying at Outsite as a coliving guest, the workspace is excellent and the community is curated. If you just want a desk, the per-day drop-in cost may not beat Sundays. Check their current rates at outsite.co and compare before booking.

What Happened to Selina

Worth addressing directly because it still shows up in search results. Selina declared insolvency in July 2024 and was acquired by Collective Hospitality. Both Santa Teresa locations have been rebranded as Socialtel Santa Teresa. The dedicated coworking spaces have been eliminated per cowork506.com. Some reviews from 2025 mention the facilities are inconsistent, with water and power outages reported. We would not plan your work week around Socialtel as a coworking option at this point.

Cafes That Work as Backup Offices

Some days you want a change of scene. A few cafes in town are genuinely workable, not just tolerant of laptops.

• Nordico Coffee House is the top pick for working sessions: air conditioning, reliable WiFi, and good coffee. Treat it as a half-day option.
• The Roastery has the best coffee in town (roasted on site) but enforces a two-hour WiFi limit. Good for focused sprints, not video calls.
• Cafca Cafe is a solid alternative with a calmer vibe than the main strip spots.

For more on the coffee scene, see our best coffee guide. None of these replace a proper coworking space for video-heavy days, but they are useful for variety.

Coliving Options With Built-In Workspace

If you want accommodation and workspace bundled, a few properties are worth knowing about.

WiFi Tribe runs month-long chapters in Santa Teresa with curated groups of remote workers. It is a structured community product, not just a hostel, and the people who do it tend to be serious about both work and the experience.

Stolas Guesthouse offers more independent coliving with an international community and a quieter atmosphere than the bigger branded options.

Both are better fits for people staying a month or more. For shorter stays, a standalone coworking pass plus a good hotel or hostel is usually more flexible and cheaper.

Practical Tips for Working Here

• Get a Kolbi SIM card immediately. Mobile data is your backup when any fixed connection fails. See our phone and SIM guide for setup details.
• Test your accommodation WiFi before you unpack. Ask for the speed, not just the password. Run a speed test on your phone before committing to a week.
• Morning sessions are gold. Surf is best at dawn, but if you are not surfing, 7-10am is when the spaces are least crowded and the air is coolest.
• Rainy season (May through November) brings power fluctuations. Spaces with backup connectivity earn their premium during these months. See our rainy season guide for what to expect.
• Budget for transport. Most coworking spaces are not walkable from most accommodation. An ATV rental or scooter is the practical solution. See our getting around guide.

FAQ

What is the fastest internet available at a coworking space in Santa Teresa? Both Sundays Cowork and Outsite advertise 200 Mbps symmetric connections as of 2026. Sundays also mentions backup connectivity. Always confirm speeds are live before your first video call.

Is there a coworking space open on weekends? Sundays Cowork lists flexible hours and Surf and Jungle Cowork is listed as open seven days. Confirm with each space directly since hours can shift in low season.

Can I just work from a cafe instead of paying for coworking? For light work and email, yes. For video calls, large file uploads, or anything requiring stable connection for more than an hour, a dedicated space is worth the daily rate. Cafes here are not reliable enough for client-facing work.

What is a realistic monthly coworking budget? Plan for 150-250 USD per month for a dedicated space membership, or 15-25 USD for occasional day passes. This is a small fraction of your total monthly budget and one of the better investments you can make in your productivity here.

Is Selina still a coworking option? No. Selina was acquired in 2024 and rebranded as Socialtel. The dedicated coworking infrastructure has been removed. Do not plan around it.
