Travel Bloggers
Are you a travel blogger visiting Santa Teresa? We’re open to collaborating with writers who create clear, useful content about destinations, boutique hotels, and beach-town experiences. If you publish practical guides, honest reviews, digital nomad insights, or Costa Rica–focused articles, we’d love to hear from you.
We’re especially interested in bloggers who can help readers understand what staying with us is like and who highlight the details that matter to real travelers — location, comfort, surroundings, and local recommendations.
If you’d like to work with us, please send your proposal.
Videographers
Are you a videographer looking for collaboration in Santa Teresa? We’re always on the lookout for talented videographers who can bring our story to life. Makanas Beach Bungalows is surrounded by breathtaking landscapes — and we are interested in your services to help us put together some video content to bring that to life.
We invite videographers to collaborate with us on short films, promotional clips, and storytelling projects that capture the essence of how the ocean meets the jungle. Whether you’re looking to expand your portfolio or help us with video content, we’re open to creative proposals and partnership exchanges.
Photographers
Photography is at the heart of how we share our vision. We’re seeking photographers who can capture the textures, colors, and emotions that define life at Makanas Beach Bungalows. We are always updating and making improvements to our rooms and gardens so we always need to keep pace with up to date photography.
We love collaborating with lifestyle, travel, and hospitality photographers who want to help us build a visual narrative that feels natural, tropical, and real.
Professional or aspiring photographers are welcome to reach out with ideas for shoots, collaborations, or content exchanges.
Drone Operators
Few places on earth look as spectacular from above as Santa Teresa. The turquoise waves, palm-lined beaches, and jungle canopy create an unforgettable view — and we love sharing that perspective.
We’re open to working with drone pilots and aerial videographers who can help us showcase Makanas Beach Bungalows and its surroundings from a new angle. Whether for promotional footage, artistic content, or destination features, your drone work can play a key role in showing our paradise to the world.
Safety, respect for privacy, and adherence to local drone regulations are a must, but within that, we encourage creative freedom and innovation.
Travel Agency Partnerships
Makanas Beach Bungalows values long-term relationships with travel agencies that share our commitment to exceptional guest experiences. We partner with agencies who understand the importance of personalized service, unique destinations, and meaningful travel.
As a boutique property, we offer flexibility, exclusive rates, and collaborative marketing opportunities for our partners. Together, we can provide your clients with unforgettable stays in one of Costa Rica’s most beloved beach towns.
Let’s connect to explore partnership packages, group stays, or special offers designed for your travelers.
Social Media Specialists
In today’s connected world, social media is how stories travel. We’re looking to collaborate with digital creatives who can help us grow our online presence and connect with travelers across the globe.
Our ideal partner is someone who understands the heart of Makanas — relaxed yet refined, adventurous yet peaceful — and can translate that spirit into engaging content, thoughtful captions, and community engagement. Whether you’re a strategist, content creator, or brand storyteller, there’s room to collaborate on campaigns, management, and storytelling initiatives.
If you live and breathe social media trends and have a deep appreciation for travel and nature, we’d love to hear from you.
Social Media Influencers
We love partnering with creators and influencers who embody a spirit of adventure and authenticity. Makanas Beach Bungalows isn’t just a place to stay — it’s an experience worth sharing.
We invite influencers to join us in highlighting the natural beauty, culture, and lifestyle of Santa Teresa through creative collaborations. Whether through Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, or blog features, we welcome collaborations that align with our values and vision.
In exchange, we offer stays, experiences, and opportunities to create inspiring content surrounded by the beauty of the Pacific coast. If your style celebrates travel, sustainability, and the art of slow living, let’s create something unforgettable together.
Volunteers
Makanas is looking for volunteers! Volunteers are an important part of our story. We’re open to hosting individuals who have an interesting skillset and would like to contribute to meaningful projects around our property or online.
Our volunteer opportunities vary by season but may include helping with gardening, eco-initiatives, guest assistance, creating content or helping with digital marketing initiatives. In return, volunteers enjoy discounted accommodations, a sense of belonging, and the chance to live steps away from the beach while experiencing the pura vida lifestyle.
If you’re enthusiastic, and open to make contributions, we’d love to see how we can work together.
Please submit the form for more information about the program.
