The Retreat

Stepping into The Retreat is almost as if time stops —it’s an oasis of tranquility and peace. The hotel provides a series of activities to enjoy during your stay. They are constantly trying to prove that health, fun, and taste can all go together.

Participate in the daily yoga classes in the studio or take hikes around the property, which is an excellent opportunity to exercise and meditate while communing with nature outside. If you want to take home even more from the stay, apply for the cooking classes, where you learn how to pamper yourself with healthy choices.

The infinity-edge pool is excellent for a swim. Or walk around the bricked paths before lounging at the chairs. Next, you can visit the sauna or spa for the ultimate relaxation experience. Finally, a gym is available for a challenging workout.

The Vida Mia Ayurvedic Healing Center & Spa is a center dedicated to healing. They use organic and creative remedies that mix the latest technology with traditional knowledge and treatments.

The views from the spa are part of the experience. Watch from the large windows the mountain region, the ocean, and even a volcano.

The vantage point shows off the horizon with the Nicoya Peninsula and the Pacific Ocean in the distance. Sit in one of the inviting and cozy spots and just take in the picturesque scenery surrounding you. Become one with nature from a comfortable boutique.

With expansive views, you will also see small details all around the property to make it a stimulating atmosphere without being obtrusive. There are statues of Ganesh and Bodhisattva and an abundance of Costa Rican wildlife that visit the area, like toucans, parrots, hummingbirds, dragonflies, and butterflies.

These flutter around the trees or colorful flora. There is even a Koi pond you can visit and the resident peafowl Tarzan and Jane.

One of the great experiences at The Retreat is the food.

Boca Dulce Restaurant’s name translates literally to Sweet Tooth. It refers to the carefully crafted meals and snacks you get at the restaurant, which showcase a creative display of healthy choices.

With organic and locally-sourced ingredients, every meal at Boca Dulce is an array of textures and flavors that turn Costa Rica’s freshest ingredients into dedicated works of art.

Vegetarian and raw food options are delicious, even for those not used to these meals. There is no gluten, dairy, or refined sugars used to prepare the food.

The farm-to-table preparation style guarantees the best ingredients and a different approach to Costa Rica’s authentic flavors. Enjoy something different with every meal.
