Welcome the New Year in a truly unforgettable setting: on a private beach in Costa Rica, beneath a sky full of stars, with the sound of gentle waves at your feet and your intentions for the year ahead in your heart. This transformational week is designed to help you return home feeling renewed, clear, and deeply connected, with meaningful memories and a community you’ll carry with you long after the retreat ends.
Each day invites you to slow down and savor life in paradise. Begin your mornings with a walk along the path from your room to the open-air cucina for a rich cup of local coffee, while the scent of ylang ylang drifts from the trees nearby. Spend time strolling the beach, taking a spontaneous swim in the ocean before yoga, or resting by the pool with a favorite book while you look forward to your afternoon massage. Evenings bring fresh tropical flavors, cocktails infused with fruit from the garden, and the aromas of dinner rising from the open-air kitchen.
This is a place our hearts keep returning to. After traveling around the world, we continue to choose this special sanctuary where the ocean meets the jungle in Costa Rica. We first visited this retreat location in 2015 and have returned with groups many times since. It remains a place of beauty, presence, and genuine connection.
Thoughtfully designed beachfront eco-friendly rooms with ocean views, plus access to the 25-meter pool.
Enjoy three delicious farm-to-table meals each day, prepared with homegrown organic ingredients, along with snacks and more to keep you nourished and energized throughout the week.
Daily yoga classes are included, along with yoga props such as mats, blocks, and straps.
Airport transfer from Puerto Jimenez to Blue Osa and return taxes are included.
