Perched on a crystal‑quartz mountain – Set high above Atenas, the retreat’s location is believed to hold powerful healing energy, with sweeping rainforest and Pacific Ocean views.
Award-winning Vida Mia Healing Spa – Combining Ayurvedic practices with Costa Rican traditions, the spa offers detox rituals, infrared saunas and therapies for emotional and physical healing.
Organic, anti-inflammatory cuisine – Dishes are crafted from garden-grown and locally sourced produce, entirely gluten-, dairy- and refined sugar-free, yet full of flavour and creativity.
Daily yoga, meditation + movement classes – Held in open-air pavilions, sessions range from gentle restorative yoga to more dynamic practices, all designed to restore balance.
Curated wellness programmes – Tailor-made for each guest, programmes focus on everything from stress and sleep to hormone balancing, guided by expert practitioners.
Boutique luxury with a personal touch – With just 25 rooms, including the new Santosha Luxury Lofts, the experience feels intimate, personalised and quietly indulgent.
The Retreat Costa Rica is approximately 40 minutes by car from San José’s Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO).
The Retreat Costa Rica is primarily an adults-only wellness sanctuary and is not suitable for children under 16. The focus is on peace, healing and personal transformation, making it ideal for solo travellers, couples or friends seeking a restorative escape.
Environmental stewardship and responsible practices – The Retreat Costa Rica actively implements a range of measures to minimise its ecological footprint and support the natural environment. These include forest and river clean‑ups, energy and water‑saving programmes with ongoing monitoring, recycling in partnership with the local municipality, and an on‑site composting facility to manage organic waste. Biodegradable products are used in laundry and housekeeping, while fumigation and pest control rely on organic, environmentally safe products. There’s also a reforestation programme on the property to restore and protect local flora.
Local sourcing and community support – The Retreat favours responsible purchasing from local businesses and sources organic produce through its farm‑to‑table restaurant concept, with seasonal, locally grown food forming the daily menu. Excursions and cultural activities are designed to benefit the local community, and around 90 per cent of staff are employed from nearby areas, supported by training and development programmes. The resort also encourages team involvement in social assistance initiatives that support local institutions.
In essence, the policy blends environmental care, community engagement and sustainable guest experiences.
Here’s how to spend your time at The Retreat Costa Rica – a deeply restorative, immersive escape centred on healing, nourishment and reconnection with nature:
Begin each morning with movement – Ease into the day with guided yoga or meditation in the open-air pavilion, surrounded by birdsong and misty mountain views.
Indulge in tailored spa therapies – Spend your afternoon at the award-winning Vida Mia Healing Spa. Choose from Ayurvedic massages, detox rituals, crystal therapies or soak in the outdoor Jacuzzi overlooking the valley.
Explore the landscape – Join guided hikes through nearby trails, discover hidden waterfalls or enjoy a gentle walk through the medicinal herb garden.
Nourish from within – Savour seasonal, anti-inflammatory cuisine at Sol Terrace. Dishes are light yet deeply satisfying, crafted from organic produce grown on site or sourced locally.
Unplug completely – With no TVs and minimal distractions, afternoons are for napping, reading by the saltwater pool or journalling on your private verandah.
End the day with stillness – Sunset is best enjoyed from the sundeck or with an optional sound bath, followed by herbal tea and an early night under star-filled skies.
The peace and quiet up here is almost tangible, it’s hard to imagine anywhere better in the world to relax. Everything here is beautiful designed to inspire wellness and as a result everyone leaves feeling refreshed and ready for life.
