1 space in a twin with shared bathroom 18th – 28th March

Truly, this retreat is the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure perfectly placed into a 10-night, 11 days winter sun yoga holiday.
Based on the Pacific coast in the small beachside town of Nosara, you will be staying in a gorgeous private luxury villa that is only a few minutes walk from the beautiful surf and sand of Playa Guiones, one of the main surf and swim beaches in Nosara. Your home for 11 days is spacious with the main villa, a private pool with seating area and what is called a Rancho, a downstairs open air dining and relaxation space with a few bedrooms located here and the yoga shala is situated on the first floor above.
Beautifully, yoga takes place in the yoga shala to the sounds of monkeys and tropical birds each morning and evening. After a delicious breakfast, take a dip in the pool or take a short walk down the beach. Maybe, relax at the villa or try surfing on one of the best surf beaches in the country! You may wish to wander into town or feel exhilarated with one of the many activities on offer in the surrounding area. Maybe zip-lining through the rainforest canopy, a quad bike tour along the coast, visiting a chocolate or coffee factory and so much more.

Join us in Costa Rica, home of La Pura Vida – The Good Life. Known for its wellness and yoga scene, as well as its tropical rain forest, animals, volcanoes and surf, it is a rich country full of biodiversity and has an environmental ethos too.
Costa Rica is a very special country that we are very excited to share with you. Although it is a small country it has a coastline on the Pacific and Caribbean and it is famous for its surf beaches. Most tourists spend their time on the coast although the volcanoes and tropical rainforests are a sight to see.
Nosara is the wellness capital of the country so those looking for yoga retreats in Costa Rica are in for a treat with regards to places to eat for alternative plant-based meals, the larger and more famous American retreat centres and the surf, of course!
There are 5 volcanoes in Costa Rica that you can visit if you plan on staying a little longer than our 10 day holiday as well as rainforests which are rich in biodiversity.
Costa Rica is famous also for its coffee and chocolate so there is the option of visiting these plantations too.
Costa Rica is categorised as one of the happiest places in the world to live, it has no army, the country generates more than 99% of its electricity through renewable energy and Nicoya is a blue zone, meaning that its inhabitants live active lives well over 100 years old.
With so many fascinating things to see and do we know this will be a holiday of a lifetime.
We recommend booking for longer and planning a tour so that you see as much of this special country as you can. If you choose to do this you might want to fly to Liberia with Tui that flies weekly so you can go for 2 weeks instead of 11 days.

You will be staying in the Nosara area of the district of La Guanacaste on the northwest coast of Costa Rica. The closest beach is Playa Las Guinoes at 7 minute walk away – that is right, we are situated right next to the beach for 2023 and centrally in the beachside town of Nosara so shops, cafes, and restaurants and a choice of beaches are on your doorstep.
Boasting a stunning rooftop yoga studio – the top floor of the ‘rancho.’ In Costa Rica, a rancho is a separate building to the main house that on the ground floor is a contemporary and relaxed outdoor living space with a lounge, dining and bar area. The yoga shala is above this and is well equipped with all yoga equipment and has views of the jungle and you will hear the jungle inhabitants of monkeys, crickets and more.
There are two bedrooms in the rancho, a single with a double bed and a twin with two single beds that share a bathroom. The pool separates the rancho from the main house and has sunbeds to relax on and read a book or sunbathe and doze.
In the main house, there is plenty of space with another living space and there is the master single room with a king-size double bed and large terrace as well as an en-suite bathroom. There are two twins with queen beds and one has an en-suite bathroom and the other shares the bathroom with the twin bunk room, this has two bunk beds, one for each person.
Each room has air-conditioning and ceiling fan, closet, safety deposit box, pool towels, housekeeping services, hand, and a body wash in private bathrooms.
